Famous landmarks in/around LA: the HOLLYWOOD sign, Griffith Park Observatory.

Might be due to the fact that they're not in Vancouver where most location filming is being done !

We got to see a few LA locations in the premier like the aqueduct. Would like to see a "Pink's" or similar iconic hot dog stand ( probably different name ), but they could build that anywhere.

BTW, there is no CDC, Centers for Disease Control in LA, but there is the US Quarantine Station at the end of W. Century Blvd, Next to LAX. Coincidentally, architect Paul R. Williams was on the team that designed the Theme Building at LAX ...the one that looks like a flying saucer.

 

Actual hospital ...well, was. Temple Community ...but it's been shuttered for years. Imagine they wanted that grimy look to indicate a decay of infrastructure and societal decline that MAY be part cause for the ZA.

BTW, Welcome to the forum. Hope you're not food for long.

 

Yeah, we won't see many rednecks from the dear ole southland either. Maybe some Bakersfield hillbillies.

 

OK...to piggyback, What places does anyone think we SHOULD see ?

Was nice to see Venice Beach, if briefly. I like Hermosa or Manhattan beaches better. ( I live in a city/town with Beach in its name, but a ways up the coast from LA ).

We should be seeing more of Asian ancestry, too. Think the nurse was.

Any other suggestions / wishes ?

 

Depends on where one starts and which direction one would head.
From El Sereno which is close to downtown LA, there's lots of urban heading east before you hit the desert around Palm Springs. Not a way to go.
Heading north you come to mountains and Angeles forest with few mountain passes that would be clogged. Going west there's lots of hills...Granada, Topanga; with corridors of urban. Eventually you run into the ocean.
South is not an option.

 

Oooo...that WOULD be cool, but I don't think they head west o Wilshire Blvd.

They probably go north toward the river and Highland Park, then continue past Pasadena, skirting the Rose Bowl, through the arroyo west of Altadena, until they hit the mountains.
Daniel will probably be the guide/ leader, as he escaped from El Salvador in the 80's.

 

Probably unlikely. I'm guessing too far west. Many casual observers would be surprised how seedy Hollywood is.
And again, producers have said they're going to avoid iconic locations.

 

I'm wondering if we'll see an LA earthquake ? Could be why the 6th Street Bridge is featured as a location, as it's being demolished ( currently in process ) to make room for a new structure.

They've already started clearing some buildings underneath, necessary for construction of the new bridge.
The existing bridge will be imploded soon. Cites only say 'the fall' of 2015. ( So an earthquake showing the bridge collapse would be in S2 ).

Here's a cool pic of the bridge to be taken down : http://losangelesriverphotos.com/?p=495 .
Note the tunnel where Cal took Nick, and then the Clark's found walker Cal.

What do you think ? Earthquakes and zombies ?
