Mr. Mom (1983)



I had been looking for the Mr. Mom house off and on for a while.   Set in Detroit, the film was shot in Los Angeles with the exception of some establishing shots and stock footage.    With the house number in hand, I was able to track it down at 152 Greenfield Avenue right next to UCLA.   The house had one major renovation by adding a new quarter to the house, but otherwise looks the same....

As usual, my shots of the surrounding houses across the street that appear in the film...

The office is at 6th Street & Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles.  My lazy shoot-through-the-windshield pictures didn't turn out so well, so here's a google street-view shot for now....

Next up is her boss' mansion, also seen in Who's That Girl and other films....

The restaurant was a bit tougher to find as the name on the awning didn't yield any results, but I eventually tracked it down another way.  Unfortunately, during this particular visit, there was a big event going on, so getting good pictures wasn't to be had....

I was able to decipher the motel name across the street which led me to finding the right location.....

And finally, the house belonging to either Ann Jillian or Miriam Flynn is just a street over from the main house....
