Oooo, I've Been There
Since I've been laid up for a few days, I've had plenty of time in front of the tv and I've noticed a strange phenomenon. While watching a movie or tv show, I'm recognizing the localities. While watching Bride Wars, I perked up realizing in one pivotal scene, they are standing in front of the 72nd St. Subway Station which is very familiar to me from my visit to NY. While watching Prison Break, I recognize many cityscapes from Chicago. I've even found myself checking the background when a window appears in a scene. Charmed features many scenes from San Francisco. I find myself thinking, I've been there and there and there when watching. Do you recognize places you have visited when watching tv or movies? Care to share.

In the 1960s, there was a TV show called "Dan August," with, I think, Burt Reynolds as a police detective. The intro every week showed him sliding down a church aisle (gun drawn, I think!) to catch some miscreant. It was filmed in the church in Oxnard that I attended at the time. They'd rolled up the carpet or had done something to make him slide easier. Of course, the church got a fat donation. It was a beautiful church and had just been restored.
