 Very fun - I'm poking around on Street View now - what streets did they
 use?

 I lived and worked in San Francisco, which had a long relationship with
 Hollywood. I used to see lots of movies being filmed in the city. I was
 once in a bar sitting across from Michael Douglas and some of the
 people from the movie "Basic Instinct".

 Unfortunately, we elected a mayor who was a cronyist, and he replaced
 career city workers with unqualified friends. He replaced the person in
 charge of media/film relations with someone with no experience, and
 movie filming in the city just stopped. Production companies complained
 about the difficulties working with SF after years of cooperation, and
 Vancouver was there to seize the opportunity.
