daggerrose · 10-26-2018, 06:38 AM

Hello all!!

Here are just a few pics of the places we visited!!

This is the ledge where Brian and Michael stand on top of during the pilot.

The stairs at the end of Michael's street.

Michael's street and house.

Woody's!!

Fly AKA Babylon.

The alley of Babylon.

The building Brian drives past as he screams "F*GGOT!!"

Brian's loft.

Seduction, Michael's comic book store exterior and the diner exterior (old one).

Melanie and Lindsay's house.

Debbie's house.

A couple shots of the benches in the park where they shot some scenes.

And that's pretty much it lol!!

go ahead and post them here too thts what that thread is for

btw Ilove it

so great to see those different olcations how they look like today, and you can feel the spirit of the show in them.

I already heard that you couldn't find the lamppost..

wouldn'T that have been great??

You could definitely feel their presence.

It was incredible.

I'm not sure if this link will work, but I'm pretty danggg sure this is THE lamp post Justin leans against.

I wish I would've studied the pilot a little more before we went. Cause rewatching it, it seems like the lamp post is right down the street from the exterior of Babylon. So I did some playing around on Google Maps and I feel like that has to be it.

But it's OK, cause I have every intention of going back there.

I'll make SOMEONE taking a photo of me leaning against it.

You really could feel it

Oh yeah, SOMEONE?

Haha I just mean if I end up going by myself or something, I'll grab a random stranger.

But yes of course you're welcome to join me!!

Sigh. It totally would.

I WILL go back there and find THE pole. -determined-

*Siiiigh* So cool. But the building is so different now. It's so much more modern than on the show. And there's no more ivy on the front.

But still. You're standing in the same spot that they stood. Honestly for some reason looking at the street parking spot directly in front of the loft was even crazier for me, cause I could just so vividly picture Michael rolling up in Brian's Jeep in the pilot, yelling, "BRI-ANNNN!" after the Jeep had been vandalized and spray painted with "******!"

I just can imagine it

I did the same with Torchwodlcations in Cardiff, and it feels soo strange

how did you guys find the bench in the park? did you take pics with you to compare?

**SojournHeart11** · 10-31-2018, 09:35 AM

I enjoyed viewing all the beautiful pictures from the tour.

**Giotto** · 10-31-2018, 09:47 AM

I wished we got more to see of them here

Yeah, I paused the "French Fried" episode sooo many times to get different angles of the park when they're sitting down. Took pics on my phone and of course I had that with me when we were there. So I kept stopping us and looking at my phone.

Then we were just walking along and saw this rainbow bench in the distance, and ran over to it like two excited kids.

Then when I looked at my phone I was like

"This is THE bench!!!" Soooo cool.

Glad you guys are loving the photos! It took soooo much time to upload on FB though.
