Clinton64 I believe you win for the most movies filmed in your town, we have a few more, but our town is pretty old for the west coast, founded in 1858, and with Lucus Sound Studios, 20 miles down the hiway 101, we are a appealing place to do period pieces from the the early 1900's to 1950's. One of our friends has had his house in two movies. The first the fixed a bunch of problems with their house, the second they lanscaped it! I had a guy knock on the door a couple of years ago because he wanted a nice back yard for a commercial shoot and had heard I had a nice cape cod style garden! I was shocked, but we didn't have the look he wanted. I keep hoping to get one of those TV shows to spruce the yard up, or put in a drive way of brick!
