A couple of years ago there was a movie being made at the hospital where my wife works. How fascinating, I thought, but she wasn’t impressed.
Anyway, it just came out a few months ago and it’s called Lonesome Jim. It stars Liv Tyler and an incredibly wheezy-whiny-voiced Casey Affleck. I initially thought it would be interesting to watch and look for familiar spots and locations, but doing a little research on the synopsis cured me of that. Oh my. This looks like one astoundingly lame movie.
But I watched the trailer online and I was pleased. About two-thirds of the way through, right when Casey is whining “There’s so many fun and cheery people in the world,” Casey and Liv walk out of an elevator. Aha! I thought when I first saw that, and sure enough my wife confirmed it. That’s 2 North, I have walked out of that elevator many times. There’s a nurse’s station just across the hall (they’re headed right for it) and my wife has worked there for about the last two years.

Tom, do you know where “Stand By Me” was filmed? It is a confirmed classic and you’d recognize many settings in there as well.

The hayseed metropolis of Brownsville! And Cottage Grove I think. Yeah, I’ve always wanted to see that too but never have.
