Getting quite a response to the post about Altadena in the media. I also saw the ranch market on Orange Grove in Monk, and remember when they transformed the Presbyterian Church on Lake into a winter snow scene for Judging Amy’s wedding? The lawn was fried golden brown when they finally lifted the fake snow.
The Fair Oaks Burger joint still looks like pirates are living there. Wonder if it was for something like Chuck? I miss that show.
Keep sending your Altadena TV/commercial/movie sightings!

Just saw American Pie 2 with the band camp scene filmed at Farnsworth Park, where I went to pre-school…lol
And there is also a Chris Reeves movie filmed at a house on Mendicino off Santa Rosa, where he is a cop, injured and confined to a wheelchair…

…..just to promote a debate….what does Altadena “get” out of all the movies being shot up here? The permit $ goes to the county, with permission they can shoot until after midnight. They create traffic woes, noise pollution, diesel gas blows through our windows sometimes from their trucks.
I know it’s cool to see a shoot or spot a celeb, but the film industry rarely supports our economy (they hardly eat locally as they have their own catering trucks, I don’t hear of them shopping anywhere although I’m aware they pay the business & residential owners to shoot in their homes/place of biz.
