Orange Army-Navy from “That Thing You Do!”
‘ Another day, another That Thing You Do! locale. It is one of my all-time favorite movies, after all!

William McKinley High School from “Glee”
‘ My Hollywood obsession as of late is the new Fox musical dramedy Glee. Actually, stating that I am obsessed with the series is a rather gross understatement. To say it’s more of an all-out, withdrawal-symptom inducing addiction would be closer to the truth. In fact, I don’t think I’ve been this enamored of a…
