We got good stuff here. I know, I know, you save money if you stay close to LA. But I was watching The Jane Austen Book Club this evening, which is set in Sacramento, and, living here, it distracted me that so many places just don’t exist, or weren’t what they were. Just open the phone book and call someone who lives in Sacramento to find out that no school in this area is called “U” for instance.

One character says he lives at “Vista Mar” - something you get a feeling is a bit like an Elk Grove housing development. If you google that, you get something called Mar Vista Apartments in Rancho Cordova.  Shrug.

Oh, and while our airport is relatively small, it’s a darn site bigger than the Deco Gem that is Long Beach Airport.

I know it’s a small complaint, but at least for the names of stuff - that’s free to get right, even if you can’t shoot on location.
