The town where the boys grow up was filmed in Perris, CA, located about 70 miles east of Los Angeles, past Riverside. The Perris locations are a very short distance from one another, making it easy to walk around to all the spots. The five-and-dime store where the boys first see images of Marilyn Monroe was located at the corner of S D St / W 4th St. The building is only seen from interior views in the film. One shot through the window is at this approximate angle.

LOCATION: 400 S D St, Perris, CA 92570
While the building is never seen from this angle in the film, here is a shot of what it looks like on the outside.

The boys watch “Some Like It Hot” at the local movie theater.

LOCATION: 279 S D St, Perris, CA 92570
Here is a wider shot of the building. It is no longer a movie theater and the marquee is long since gone.

The toy store where Ned works was located here. The building has since been remodeled some.

LOCATION: 329 S D St, Perris, CA 92570
The reverse view across the street better matches up with what is seen in the film, although trees now obscure much of the building seen in the distance.

In another scene, Ned is seen crossing the street on his way to work. This building still closely matches what was seen in the film. This is at the same intersection as Ned’s work and the five-and-dime store.

Ned continues over to his workplace on the right corner of the street. In the film, the building had a second level, which has since been removed. The adjacent buildings all still match up, however.

One of the shots in front of the building is from this angle. The sidewalk has since been widened quite a bit. In the film, the diagonal parking seen in the distance extends all the way up the street, allowing for parking directly in front of the building.

The boys travel to Hollywood to meet Marilyn Monroe. As they first arrive, they drive past the Capitol Records building, which can be seen in countless other films, including “Rush Hour,” “Once Upon A Time In… Hollywood,” “Get Him to the Greek,” “Nightcrawler,” “Freakier Friday” and many more.

LOCATION: 1750 Vine St, Los Angeles, CA 90028
During a montage where the boys search across L.A. for Marilyn Monroe, they stop at the former Ambassador Hotel. The Ambassador was a staple of film and television, appearing in such films as “The Graduate,” “Forrest Gump,” “True Romance,” “Seven,” “Bobby,” “Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas,” “True Lies,” “L.A. Story,” “Catch Me If You Can,” “The Mask” and dozens more. After closing for good in 1989, the Ambassedor was used primarily for filming throughout the 1990s. The film crews were apparently not always considerate of the property, leaving it in poor condition after wrapping. Eventually the hotel was in such disrepair, despite a long struggle to preserve the property, it was eventually settled upon to be demolished. Only this post and statue from the original building remain at the location.

LOCATION: 3400 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90010 (now demolished)
The boys make a quick stop at The Donut Hole in La Puente. The location also appears in the films “Moving Violations” and “Dragnet.” It also features prominently in Oneohtrix Point Never’s music video for “On an Axis.”

LOCATION: 15300 Amar Rd, La Puente, CA 91744
The boys continue to search for Marilyn at the former Perino’s Restaurant. It was located at 4101 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90010, but has since been demolished. The “Los Altos Hotel & Apt’s” sign seen in the background is still there.
The boys continue to search the down for Marilyn Monroe, driving past the Bryson Apartments in Los Angeles. The same apartments were seen in such films as “Magnolia,” “The Grifters” and “Stewardess School.”

LOCATION: 2701 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90057
The boys think they’ve found Marilyn at a hair salon, filmed at the Wilshire Royale Apartments, just past the Bryson Apartments.

LOCATION: 2619 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90057
There is an interior shot from the building, looking out at the reverse angle at the boys parked on the street.

The boys try to sneak into a movie premiere at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood. The theater has appeared in countless films, such as “Twins,” “Valley Girl,” “Rush Hour,” “The Aviator,” “Iron Man 3” and many more.

LOCATION: 6925 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90028
