bowkevin Sep 22nd, 09, 6:21 PM In the movie, I think Tubbys got shut down too. Never heard where it was filmed or if Tubbys was a real place but seemed like a good hangout. Yes , I wish we had a place like that here. BTW great movie!!
1BLACKHARLEY Sep 22nd, 09, 6:59 PM if i'm not mistaken, the place the used was in the industrial part of van nuys blvd, way past the camaro plant, i don't think it was there much after the movie, and may have been built for the movie, i'm a little foggy on this and may come up wth better info later, but for sure that area doesn't look anything like that any more, apartment buildings as far as you can see, but i think they did open van nuys back up to cruising recently, something like the 1st and 3rd weds of the month....

Yes Bill there has been a few threads about cruising van nuys blvd over on The H.A.M.B. Some cool stories.
