The British Consulate from “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”
‘ Much of my free time as of late has been spent tracking down missing locations from Jumpin’ Jack Flash.

Haskell’s Ice Cream Hut from “The Brady Bunch”
‘ I have been a The Brady Bunch fanatic since I was about three years old. Growing up, I wanted nothing more than to be Cindy Brady (Susan Olsen) and don blonde pig tails on a daily basis. Too bad my hair was brown, curly and far too short for pig tails. As an adult,…

And I am apparently in good company with that opinion – according to the Contact Music website, James Cameron, Sam Raimi and Stephen King are also huge fans…
