The Liberty Delivery Service is located at:
ReplyDeleteAlcorn Manufacturing 9965 Buffalo Speedway, Houston, TX. The shot was positioned on the Southside of the building on West Bellfort Street. The building has since been expanded but you can see the cylindrical tank/tower from the street view and the same Receiving sign is still in place. The red roofed La Quinta Inn seen in the background can also be seen north of the building in the aerial view.

Thank you very much.
Deletevery interesting, thanks
ReplyDeleteThe families who owned the two homes in Pearland where Faraday and Lang lived were put up at the Four Seasons Hotel for the entire month of Filming in that location. I worked traffic control on the set many times and it was interesting to see how they make movies. Sometimes it took hours upon hours to shoot a 30 second scene.
ReplyDeleteThey also filmed a batting cage scene in Sharpstown. The batting cage was on the corner of Fondren and Beechnut next to Houston Baptist University. There is a CVS there now. I pretty much grew up at that batting cage.
