Approx. 01:44 C+T are walking on street past ladies of the "night"  funny thing is that it is the same location that G+T are on a little earlier shopping for unmentionables.  When C+T cross the street we see the same buildings in bg as we just saw when G+T walk out of shop.  somewhere in sobe just have to track it down. Since they are hoofing it I bet it is close to Gina's place

At 1:43, if you freeze it and catch the final frames of the shot, you can see a sign that reads "ywood Fwy South". The camera is rolling south on N Western Ave, and the sign is indicating that people should turn left onto Santa Monica Blvd (eastbound), and the Hollywood Freeway is one block away. This sign is barely visible again at 00:33 in "Glades".

It's weird, because the sign "air conditioned" made me think this was in Miami. AC isn't a big deal in L.A. Maybe it's necessary because of all the heavy breathers in the porno shop?

I'll study it again tonight, but I think the 1113 address is 1113 N Western Ave. 1117 N Western Ave is now Stan's Adult Super Store or Stan's Video & Book Store or Stan's of Hollywood, depending on the listing.

Around 00:52, there's a shot of "Le Sex Shoppe" and "The Rail". I think this clip was filmed in Los Angeles. The addresses look like 5511 and perhaps 5507.

It's possible "The Rail" is now "The Relax Bar" (home page) @ 5511 Hollywood Blvd Los Angeles, CA.

[edit] DING DING DING, we have a winner!

Le Sex Shoppe
5507 Hollywood Blvd
Los Angeles, CA

======================================

Around 1:43 I see #1113. This is part of the same video footage from Glades. We'll have to piece this together to figure this out.

Finally found it! They are going northbound on N Bay Rd @ W 27th St. When you get the zoomed-in view of the chase, there is a white house in the background with thin vines growing up its walls. That house is labeled #1 here:

Two exterior shots of Ramirez' house: 28:45 and 46:14. I have no clue where these are filmed; nothing looks right on the new bird's eye pics. When Ramirez meets Gina by the pool in back, the placement looks like Sunset Island #2, right about in the currently-vacant lot next to the Evan house.

DanJ observed that his body gets carted away from Bay Harbor Island (Whatever Works house).

So, does he have 4 houses in this episode?

Mysteries, mysteries ...

I just watched one scene, drew a little sketch, then watched the other scene. Absolutely, no doubt in my mind, you are right. These are the same house. Sharp eye!

The shootout near the end where the dirty cop comes racing up in the Ford Bronco - we haven't located this house. It's very distinctive - with a big pink semi-circle. It looks familiar, maybe like Maynard's house in "Back in the World".

Also, we don't know the location of Ramirez' house earlier in the episode. It is probably on the Sunset Islands.

Remaining mysteries:

During the chase scene with the Ford Bronco, they go through as ess-curve (16:42 to 16:48 on your DVD).

Did we already figure out Ramirez' house? It seems like it's located in about the same spot as the Evan house on Sunset Island #2, but it doesn't look the same, inside or outside. Dan mentioned that when they take out the body at the end it looks like Rivera's house in Whatever Works.

Great re-creation! I didn't notice the Denny's sign in the shot when I was studying this scene.

That sounds right. If you see the Gayety theater in the background then it is definitely at the address you mention. I'm not sure if there is a Gino's still at that spot today, though.

Now just for fun here's a screen capture from this ep, and my recreation of it. Jeremy posted a pic of this corner above - not trying to compete, just offering another perspective:





Denny's is common to both pictures, in the upper left hand corner. Phillip Morris Center in the upper right hand corner is now a Shell station with a car wash. Not visible in these pic's is Sambo's, which was across the street from Phillip Morris Center and hence beyond the right edge of both pictures. Today a Taco bell stands in Sambo's place.

I looked around for a street walker who might do a walk by for me for $10, but the boulevard seems to have been cleaned up pretty good lately.

At about the 8:00 minute mark, when Zito picks up Trudy, there is Gino's Italian Restaurant in the background. Is this at 1906 Collins Miami Beach (which I got from Google)?

Interesting info about the house numbers, that's something I never knew. I've never lived in a city with a big grid of numbered streets.

It's awesome that we know where Gina lived! Before now I never even thought there was a fixed place for her on the show. Let's all chip in and buy it, like a time share.

LOL, maybe I should put that motto on my tombstone.     
    
Thanks for posting that pic, but unfortunately it is the wrong spot. Very similar sign, but I think you were facing northward on Biscayne just south of I-195. The shot on MV was facing southward on Biscayne just north of I-195.

Red X = man/woman argue
Blue X = Jeremy's spot (also hooker kicks white car)
Yellow X = Shell
