Jennifer kills Tyrone location. The house is located at the corner of E. Cliff and Mott. It's right across the street from Sea-bright beach. It has been painted since the movie was made. I went to that beach for years (back in the 80's) and recognized the house immediately when I saw it in the movie.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. It's one of those locations that could only be identified by a local.
DeleteAfter arriving in "San Paulo", Calahan got into a brawl with Ray Parkins, in a "scuzzy" bar. The bar was actually "Positively Front Street", located near the Santa Cruz pier, around the corner from the La Bahia Hotel. The bar building has since been demolished.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am looking for Clint signing autographing a photo at 104 Mott Str for the owner Dick Marshall (who I use to clean house for Rent A Wife domestic services 1983-2017) Dick hung the autographed picture above his mantel, he spoke of it fondly, as a fellow Republican......
ReplyDeletePositively Front Street was once a wonderful barstool LOCAL treat. Had a few brews there myself. La Bahia HOPE the owners are able to hang on and get the financial support they need to save this historical landmark.
