2:42
there that must be the room right up
2:44
there let's not forget the part about
2:46
the open heart Hey
2:48
got a stop off here at the rest area the
2:50
reason we're stopping at a rest area is
2:51
because these filming locations are all
2:54
over the great state of Florida mostly
2:55
Central Florida they're all spread out
2:57
everywhere this has absolutely nothing
2:59
to do with the movie my girl that this
3:02
is pretty awesome right
3:04
cool on we go I love this guy we've made
3:08
the trip to Ocoee Florida and right over
3:10
here this might look familiar do you
3:12
know what this is this is where the
3:14
bingo scene was right over there in that
3:16
little area straight ahead there is
3:18
where the bingo game was written
3:20
commerce J and beta would have walked
3:22
right down this way down that side
3:24
walked right past these stairs right
3:27
over here is where the tent with a bingo
3:29
game the setup can I get a little sin
3:32
beta we're kids what how could a bet
3:34
we're just gonna watch watch bingo I
3:37
don't even like to play bingo Jack
3:40
you're not gonna let us invader we're
3:43
kids what happened a bet we're just
3:45
gonna watch watch bingo I don't even
3:48
like to play bingo jack the interesting
3:52
thing is the sign says a co a Christian
3:54
Church was organized and created in 1891
3:57
this building was erected obviously when
3:59
they filmed this it was still a
4:00
Christian Church but yet they made the
4:02
sign that was sitting over there say
4:04
Methodist Church just kind of weird why
4:07
they changed it from Christian Church to
4:08
Methodist Church all for the movie and
4:11
the sign was right there
4:13
what happened right in this area bingo
4:16
bingo kernels of cars mad prized pillows
4:23
in cars that prize cheap
4:28
we've now made it to Sanford Florida and
4:31
what is this alley you might ask well
4:33
the answer to your question is this this
4:34
is actually the alley where they would
4:36
have ridden their bikes down right down
4:38
that way this may not look like much but
4:40
in the movie this is where they were
4:41
riding their bikes and this ramp right
4:42
here was actually a entranceway to a
4:45
shop Nikki can't make it and the reason
4:48
why is there's actually a fence there
4:50
now but right here was the ramp they
4:53
wrote straight up right into a guy shop
4:55
straight up that way look the ramp still
4:57
there can't really see from where I'm
4:59
standing but look at that angle see how
5:01
it ramps up straight up all been torn
5:03
down and right out of here is where the
5:05
guy that owned the little mechanic's
5:07
shop with a little shop that they rode
5:08
their bikes right through a shop the guy
5:11
would have run right out yelling at them
5:12
down this road the way you can tell is
5:14
up there on the left hand side all the
5:16
buildings match up the same everything
5:18
on the right has been torn down over the
5:20
last two decades right up here is where
5:22
they rode their bikes straight out
5:24
straight down that way
5:25
check out some of the brick left this
5:27
might actually be part of the bricks
5:28
that were part of all the buildings that
5:30
ran along here that have been destroyed
5:32
you can see the clock tower in the shot
5:33
where they were riding the bikes it
5:35
would have rode straight down this way
5:37
would have heard straight down this way
5:39
where Nicky is walking camera angle
5:42
would have been kind of down here it
5:45
would have rode right pass on their
5:47
bikes see the clock tower in the
5:48
background of the right would have
5:50
walked rode straight on by right here is
5:52
the alleyway you can see all this in
5:54
here these doors are all here in the
5:56
shots and right along this brick wall is
5:58
where they have the political
5:59
advertisement right against there and
6:01
they were - rode their bikes right down
6:02
here turn this way this is where the
6:04
doctor's office was come right over here
6:07
you can see the number one one five in
6:10
the shot there and then when they have
6:12
their bikes here and they turn around to
6:14
ride off in the background there you can
6:15
barely see that movie theater in the
6:17
background but the key here is this one
6:20
one five and right up these doors one
6:22
one three straight up was the doctor's
6:25
office
6:35
go beta go beta banana fanna so Zeta be
6:35
sine beta I know this place was closed
6:39
for a while we've been trying to like
6:40
take some pictures and stuff and we just
6:42
realized you guys were working on it so
6:44
he would have been sitting right over
6:45
here at this table that's actually a
6:49
table he'd have been sitting out to see
6:50
that window in the background right
6:52
there that's all the interior is there
6:57
she would have been standing there see
6:59
all this brick in the background here
7:01
dan aykroyd would have got it from the
7:03
table see all that brick he would have
7:05
walked out this way straight out it
7:08
stood right there check this out it's
7:11
Thomas J's house right on the porch
7:12
right over there is where she would have
7:14
hid behind the tree come across this way
7:17
Snoop Dogg there right through the front
7:19
door is where Macaulay Culkin walked out
7:21
and through that window is where the
7:22
parents were watching TV right
7:47
it's definitely the same staircase she
7:47
would have walked up these three steps
7:49
onto the wooden plank right towards the
7:51
door across there and that's where the
7:53
family was watching TV right in there
7:55
and she got Thomas Jays attention
7:57
Macaulay Culkin we walked out of here
8:08
and then then she call him a pacifist
8:08
right here pacifist
8:12
let me go tonight I told you I get in
8:15
trouble pacifist and not in fact the
8:18
address is the same in the movie 603 if
8:21
you watching the movie up on the door
8:22
there's a marker that says 603 the Brady
8:26
Bunch
8:26
Oh - no you can't have enough kids
8:31
you'll have to live with the Partridge
8:32
Family clearly starting to rain a little
8:36
bit out here we found another really
8:38
difficult spot to find just by randomly
8:40
driving around this would have been
8:42
where the teacher would have a mr.
8:43
Bixler
8:45
painting the house and you can see from
8:47
this angle here is where he would've
8:50
been doing the work his ladder would
8:51
have been right there that's mr. Bixler
8:53
let's go talk to him I don't want to
8:55
talk to a teacher mr. Bixler your bikes
8:58
would have been like riding here so she
9:00
was talking about how during the summer
9:01
she wanted to go to the poetry class the
9:03
mailbox up there is actually the same
9:05
mailbox has just been painted black
9:06
instead of white the doors the same
9:08
staircase is the same and everything all
9:11
over happened right in here is mr.
9:12
Bixler's house hey des
9:24
hey des here's one little amazing place
9:24
that we also found this was actually the
9:25
grocery store but they did all the
9:28
grocery shopping in the produce
9:29
department and she was throwing the cans
9:31
inside the cart just picking some things
9:33
up for the barbecue yeah me too
9:35
mind if I tag along not at all now
9:38
offices the whole inside has been
9:40
completely redone the grocery store sign
9:44
definitely an old-school grocery store
9:53

9:53

9:55
broke again for the second time I super
9:58

10:17
pulled her RV the RV would been driving
10:21
straight towards us just like this car

10:35
here's a piece of movie history
10:35
this horse is still here still here
10:37
after all these years this horse still
10:40
