One of my very favorite "college" films was Miracle Mile. It always made great late night viewing and I loved the is-it-true-or-not storytelling. If you haven't seen it yet, do so now!
While I had popped by the diner and tar pits before, I thought on my latest trip I should do a true locations visit, so here we go. First up, the La Brea Tar Pits and museum....

I love Pan Pacific Park, just wish I could have seen "Xanadu" for myself before it burnt down. Otherwise, the performance area looks the same...

And good ol' Johnie's. Not much has changed except for the sign. I'm not sure when the last time it was ever really open as it is now just used for filming...
