I remember that elevator ride well in the lobby. It went up like 20 floors, all open to the lobby, then right through the roof to outside of the building. Was a great experience at night!

Found this across the street from Sony Studios..S&W Country Diner. The location is likely near the studio. Don't know if it was Mitzi's, but is similar, tho' updated.

amazing - that might just be it!

Yeah..due to the filming of many indoor shots around Culver City, I figured, like Faraday's apt, that it would be close by the studio. I pulled up S & W out of curiousity, not a hunch, and it might be it. From a filming standpoint, it makes sense.

TV guide cover from 40 years ago.
Alternative shot taken during photo shoot shared by Dallas Fanzine.
What’s that thing in the background? That lighthouse looking structure always caught my eye because it isn’t typical on ranches.
Then last week while we were virtually strolling along Potrero Road last week what did I see?

What do you think? I think this could be a match, although from a different angle.
I know we are usually posting things that show up in the program as opposed to advertisements, but I thought it was too neat to pass up!

Something I have never done! I was supposed to go on a field trip once, but that didn’t work out.

Here's a fun Dallas location from Season 1's Black Market Baby: Sue Ellen and Cliff meet for the first time outside Gatsby's Bicycle Bar, at the Statler Hilton on 1914 Commerce St. (the 'bicycle' part was enough to help me find it... apparently more recently there was a swanky nightclub called Gatsby's, which I assume was unrelated)
Sue Ellen is here to meet mildly shady attorney BJ "Buzz" Connors (no apparent relation to fiery tennis star Jimmy) to discuss adopting the baby of the future wife of George Clooney and Roger Sterling. Cliff just happens be to an acquaintance of Buzz, and had just bumped into him on the street seconds earlier.
the location is mentioned in this fun little NYT article from 1974: https://www.nytimes.com/1974/04/21/archives/dallas.html
"The Statler Hilton, 1914 Commerce, is also a fine downtown hotel with a good restaurant, coffee shop and Gatsby's Bicycle Bar in the lobby."
how times change: "And Alexander's is one of the few restaurants in the city where you can get espresso —one mark of a truly refined restaurant."
I'm tempted to sign up for an account just to see the original article!
and... available on ebay! Swizzle sticks from the place Cliff and Sue Ellen first met!

That's awesome. The roof on the lower structure matches, and is merely a different angle. Makes sense, too...since so much was done around the JMJ ranch. Definitely impressive.

I agree. Nice job finding the location for that photo shoot, Johnmil.
@Taylor Bennett Jr. Do you have a recent pic of the sidewalk where you threw the football to Bobby?

I may just have to go watch that episode now, what with this and the apt JM10 found. And only $3.99 for the swizel sticks...not a bad deal.
I just found IMDB also has this. I didn't realize it had series locations.
Found this:
Ground level restaurant/bar at the northwest corner of the Statler Hilton. This area was originally a series or retail spaces before being turned into Gatsby's Bicycle Bar in later years.

oh wow, I didn't know that about IMDB! And here I was all impressed by my googling skills!

I'm not sure where it was, and Dad never told me (Like JR, I'm a 'Junior'!). It's somewhere near an address '3300' and a 'Wilshire Mart', with a cross street beginning with 'C' (but definitely not 3300 Wilshire, which appears to be a church. Interestingly, they found a spot in LA where there was a red awning in the background that says 'Texas' or maybe 'Texaco' - I wonder if they put that there to distract from the palm tree.
(the 'Wilshire' sign above Bobby's left shoulder says 'Wilshire Mart', but by the time we see the 'Mart', we no longer have the nice view of the former Texas Longhorns aerial combination.)

I looked at a few other episodes and didn't see anything but the studio address in Culver City.
3330 Wilshire is correct.
Bobby is crossing the street in the shot, but it's compressed and I could only tell by a red car as he's crossing. Note the white building columns.
Below, see the building columns on the other side of the street he crossed.
Below, the building facade in red has 3330 on it.
You noted you were looking at 3300, which is the church. Just misplaced digit.

Nice work Bill!
Maybe the sons of Willie Joe Garr and Jeb Ames will show up and add to the discussions much like Taylor Bennett Junior does.

Watching the trip to "Emporia". Just saw the WYLIE sign past the RR tracks as Ray and Donna are taking a drive through town.
Interesting tidbit.
Here's Harve's office pic from a previous post.
Harve's office today, from Google.
After a meeting in Harve's office on how to divide up Ewing Oil assets in preparation for the competition, Punk and Ellie exit the building. Thing is, they're walking at the 'striped' building next to Renaissance Tower (Ewing Oil building downtown) that has those large white columns shown.. One Main Place (Cliff at the OLM) is the next block across the street from Renaissance Tower.
