Clown Dog Restaurant from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”
‘ UPDATE – I just drove by this location last week and was shocked to discover that the entire thing had been completely torn down.

Beeman Park from “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”

“The Goldbergs” House
‘ A couple of years ago, my good friend Lavonna got obsessed with the ABC series The Goldbergs and asked me to do some research on its locales. She was most interested in learning the location of the Goldberg family’s Anywhere, U.S.A.-style home and I found the address – 3071 Earlmar Drive in Cheviot Hills…
