Home Restaurant from “Raines”
‘ Every once in a while a show comes along that immediately hooks me. Such was the case with Raines, an extremely short-lived police procedural boasting a scant seven-episode run. I was unaware of the NBC series at the time of its original airing in March 2007. In fact, I only learned of it this…

Grease is the Word!

Cordelia’s Apartment Building from “Angel”

A quick look at Google Street View’s imagery of…
