Pasadena, California (place)

place in southern california where i grew up. due to its varied forms of architecture, it has often been an ideal place for both the motion picture and the television broadcasting industries to shoot "on location" in. while growing up, i remember many times when streets would be closed off for that very reason. watching tv and movies often becomes a strange case of deja vu as certain locales featured have been places i had on occasion frequented.

some examples would include:

• a very brady sequel
  the coffee shop where marsha and greg's double date took place was at the equator cafe in old town pasadena, scarcely a block from the famous colorado boulevard.
• melrose place
  the d&d offices were in downtown pasadena, off of a street called south lake.
• beverly hills 90210
  the house that brenda and brandon walsh lived in is said to be in pasadena, somewhere.
• father of the bride
  the house steve martin's character's family lived in was in the wealthy pasadena / san marino area.
• scream2
  the opening scene in the movie theatre took place at the rialto, in south pasadena on fair oaks avenue. the night chase scene in a residential-construction area was in the streets behind the pasadena convention center, just outside of the city college.
• the emmy award shows is shot at the pasadena civic auditorium.
• many science fiction movies have taken place at the jet propulsion laboratory (jpl) of nasa and on the caltech campus, both situated in pasadena.
• there's lots more, i assure you..
