Here's one I've been trying to find...used as an establishing shot for an elegant restaurant.

Bill, do we know if the building is in Texas, or California?
The cars parked there suggest Texas, especially the GMC Suburban.
The outdoor elevator suggests California.

I can help with that one! It isn’t in Texas or California. It is located in New Orleans, Louisiana! Stock footage was used here.

Fascinating...est. shots from all over. Yep, I never would've found that, unless by completely by accident. I'll sleep better tonight.
I couldn't find the outside elevator, until I looked closer.

and here I was ready to declare that it’s the world-famous Leaning Tower of Plano after the first screenshots

I think when I found this it was the first time I found a building that wasn’t in LA or Dallas. I thought I was in trouble from here on out since the search parameters for establishing shots were significantly broadened!

I'm on S8. My short list for now as:
Rebecca's house (above)
- Swellen's townhome
- Jenna's apt - with the rock wall/fountain at the sidewalk.
- Katherine's home she "bought back the home she was raised in"
Kath's house "she bought"
View attachment 17169
Others will come up while watching, or will come up from the buried depths of my fading memory.
You can cross one off your list, @Bill Dilks
Katherine’s old homestead is located at 6601 Hunters Glenn in Dallas. It has been significantly remodeled, but you can tell it is the same house. I’m on my cell phone so I couldn’t pull up a street view without Christmas decorations.

One more, @Bill Dilks
Looking at Google Maps, there is no street view along Village Glenn Drive. That makes nailing down Jenna’s apartment difficult. However. I didn’t notice it earlier, but I did find a 360° view posted by someone that shows to be taken along this road that I found interesting. It is from a different angle, but I think we might be seeing Jenna’s staircase. What do you think?
I’d like to drive by the next time I am in the area since Google Maps isn’t helping on this street.

I'm really surprised something near the studio wasn't used, as at that point numerous scenes were shot in or near Culver City.
Current drive up from a google street pic.
You sure got it, jm10. You're the bomb! Here's driving up to drop off Jenna...a couple more rock walls beyond Jenna's due to terrain. The camera is positioned by the rock wall/steps leading to Jenna's.
...at Jenna's, with the entrance marked. Bobby and JR are seen coming out of there "during the wedding".
Also interesting is its just a couple of blocks behind Cliff's offices at the Campbell Center. Coincidentally, I "google-drove" this as a back way to Cliff's offices from Northwest Hwy/Skillman St. Also "drove" down Shady Brook, the other side of the complex. But as no rock wall is on these streets, I didn't see this location as Jenna's.

do they prominently feature the fact that it was once Jenna Wade's condo on their website? They should, as some poor sap (like me) might pay extra for that reason alone!

oh man, living in super-expensive San Francisco, those rents make me want to cry! For like 1/3 of the price I could be strolling down the front steps pretending to be the mysterious Italian fake count from Quebec Naldo Marchetta..
I hear ya bro'...love S/Fran but so expensive. One of my favorite spots is when Kirk & co hit S/Fran and the scene is filmed at the 'wedge' building on Columbus & Kearny in Star Trek IV. Was a great area...Pearl's, Enrico's, the restaurants. Been almost 20 years...probably changed a bit.

yup, the 7 nights a week gigs in North Beach are long gone, sadly.. Enrico’s went down a few years ago.
Yeah...heard...interesting place Enrico's. And Pearl's...was talking with a minority owner back in 1998..an old-timer (like I am now) and trombone player if I remember correctly...he had worked the old days with Count Basie with the same drummer I had worked with back around '83. Lot's of "small world's" in the music bi-ness.
No jazz in "Dallas", just a rare lounge piano moment of something passable.

oops... Lots of nice country with twangy guitar and steel guitar. A lot of the 'up' stuff is fun.

yeah, John Parker has some 'jazzy' stuff on some of the early episodes, but it's all wrong in some ways... I bet a lot of the LA guys are playing on those soundtracks though. Bud Shank plays Sue Ellen's theme at least on Parker's 'Dallas Themes' record. I saw a description somewhere calling him out by name, but all I can find is this now.
