Your favorite movie that shows LA? For me: Blind Date (1987)

I didn't screen shot all the locations from the movie. But we have:

1st pic: Santa Monica and 16th

2nd: National and Sepulveda (now a strip mall) Looks like a Sav-on drugs, now CVS.

3rd-4th: 405 exit: China Palace is now (very recently) an Ihop

4th: A little further down Sepulveda: an old time Taco Bell! That Alpine Carpet is still there

5th: Another shot in the same area. According to old Google maps photos there is still a hotel there but a different one. They got rid of the moon sign sometime between 2015-2016

6th: Just off the freeway exit (facing Venice Blvd.) Carls' Jr. and the motel are still there

Edit: Wow this really took off! I am overwhelmed by responses. I am trying to respond to all. I have started a list on my phone of movies I want to see. Thanks!

▲ 573 r/crochet

I am making a blanket with words on it. I wanted to try Intarsia crochet. I already had a dowel (which is way too long) I bought these empty spools. I put packing tape in the middle and and on the ends of the dowel. I am propping the ends up on whatever is around.

It's so long that flipping for each row is a process. I already discovered if I don't squeeze the ends together when I flip, everything starts unrolling.

Wish me luck! 😛
