Morristown, TN. Aka...we have nothing. Overhead sidewalks and lots of farmland and woods. Evil Dead was filmed here, on the west end of town though. Just a bit of the chimney is left, I'll try to find some pictures of that from the last time I went.

but here's our sidewalks...fabulous.

Conquest For the Planet of the Apes (only the stuff behind the Commons in the back is a matte painting)

They also filmed parts of Silent Movie and Poltergeist there.

Plus, we're the home of John Wayne Airport

Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield was filmed at UW-Madison

Major League was filmed in County Stadium
and Mr. 3000 was filmed at Miller Park.

and just recently I heard Johnny Depp is going to be coming to Wisconsin either in Baraboo, Oshkosh and/or Milwaukee for his movie Public Enemies. Depp plays John Dillilnger a gangster from the 30s. I guess the place in Baraboo hasn't been renivated ever so they want to go there for the authenticness. I think that would be killer!

I live in Portland, Oregon, U.S. of A. Many movies have been shot here including some of longtime Portland resident Gus Van Sant's best-known work, including Drugstore Cowboy and My Own Private Idaho.

I now live in the Sellwood neighborhood of Portland. The only movie I know of that has been filmed in this part of Portland is Bill Forsythe's wonderful Breaking In (1989), script by John Sayles, starring Burt Reynolds and Casey Siemaszko as a veteran burglar and his apprentice.

The movie was filmed all over the city, but the last big robbery takes place at an amusement park, specifically a safe under the rollerskating rink during the Fourth of July fireworks. That park, Oaks Amusement Park, is just down the hill from my apartment, less than a mile as the crow flies, on the banks of the Willamette River, next to the Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge. It's a tiny park, only forty-four acres, and there aren't a whole lot of massive rides, but considering it opened in 1905 it has held up pretty well, and the skate rink with its large four-manual Wurlitzer pipe organ is what it is most famous for.

I actually live in a suburb just outside of Boston, but Boston is WAY more interesting, so I am from Boston! I spend plenty of time in the city. ;)

I live in Tasmania, the island state of the island continent of Australia.
http://whyfiles.org/224presumed_exti...p_tasmania.jpg

My home hugs Mt. Wellington which rises 1271m above sea level and is 20 minutes from the capital city Hobart.
http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/med...ket-hobart.jpg
Every Saturday there is a pretty groovy market.

Mount Wellington influences Hobart's weather and can get a bit cold sometimes.

Every so often we get ourselves a free skyshow direct from Antarctica.

Tassie is famous for marsupial carnivors ... the extinct(?) Thylacine (aka Tasmanian Tiger, Tasmanian Wolf)

and this Warner Bros character Taz, which is actually the 'cute' Tasmanian Devil

Tasmania, being one of the oldest states in Australia is rich in history, the English transported many an undesirable (usually Irish) downunder to the penal colony.

Unfortunately too many know of Port Arthur because of this guy.

Tassie has the two oldest breweries in Australia

Cascade Brewery was established in 1824 and is Australia's oldest continually operating brewery nestled on the foothills of 'the Mountain'.

Cascade Premium Lager is made there :D

I grew up in Seattle, Washington. I still live in Washington just down the road a piece in Des Moines, Washington.

I suppose Seattle is pretty well known to movie goers although when they say they are "in Seattle" in the movie, they rarely actually filmed the movie here, typically they are up the road in Vancouver B.C. and just saying its Seattle, its cheaper to just show footage of flybys of the skyline and then do the filming elsewhere. Perhaps that will change if the $ continues to drop into the toilet.

Seattle is home to many things, obviously these people got started here.

http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...her-757783.jpg

And for that I'm truly sorry. I won't drink their coffee myself after the way Howard Shultz handled the Basketball team here that he owned for a paltry 5 years and then bailed out on us.

Then there is a Seattle institution, Dick's Drive in.

http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...er96/dicks.jpg

As we like to say here locally... "There's nothing like a big bag of Dick's!" And sadly this is another example of local government sticking their noses in and telling us how to run our lives. Recently a law was passed here about trans-fats. Do you know about the evils of trans-fats? I don't really either and honestly I don't give a sh*t, but I know this, they forced Dick's to change the oil they cook their fries in and now longtime customers say their fries taste like ass. *sigh*

http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...96/pikemkt.jpg

I throw in the obligatory picture of the Pike Place Market because it seems that if you've never been here, you've probably still seen this or the little fish market that's just inside in action. I swear to you, every single time the National media comes here for a sporting event they go down to the fish market and get the athlete's to chuck fish around like this is the only other game in town. Whatareyougonnado?

http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...876420x315.jpg

This is a view from the local beach about a mile from where I live now. The Puget Sound area is chock full of delicious views like this one and I highly recommend you never come here and see them for yourself, else you find yourself "trans-planted" here and never leave. :D

Arlington, Virginia, in the neighborhood known as Rosslyn. I am a Rosslynite.

http://www.rossren.com/rosslyn/dimag..._home-main.jpg
It looks a little different now since this picture was taken. There are more buildings up - and more on the way.

I live near Georgetown, Washington D.C., the setting of William Friedkin's The Exorcist. Rosslyn can be seen in the movie, as well as the bridge (Key Bridge) on the right.

It's a great place to live. Georgetown is fun and so are many parts of Arlington. There's also all of D.C. to explore and I'm close to Maryland. I also live close to the Pentagon, which I drive by several times a week if I'm on my way to Target or the grocery store.

Oh yeah, and the steps that the priest falls down at the end of The Exorcist are near me. I walked up them this past Halloween.

http://dc.metblogs.com/archives/imag...esis-thumb.jpg

I also live by these dreadful little islands called The Three Sisters which are supposedly cursed and are slowly inching their way over to poor old Sexy Celebrity - they wanna get me! I can't cross their path!
