      I forgot to leave a comment about the location. The location I found the most fascinating was the location where it was filmed. They had a nostalgic sense. In a way it was disappointing to see that it had changed. Because in my imagination I still have the way it looked when they were actually in the house in filming. I always like to think that those locations are preserved for posterity what is posterity . LOL. These shows gave us comfort as children and so it's kind of shocking to see that they're not maintained as Museum pieces. Kind of the way that Dave Letterman show was dismantled and everything thrown away and disposed of is what I heard. And as a child it seemed more real to me. Anyhow, I like to think that somehow and someway these locations are preserved, somewhere in the Twilight Zone.

You can tell by looking at the new photo and the size of the driveway outlined in the concrete. That's still only one vehicle's width for the most part. So it's the same size, and like he said, that street sign pole and oddly shaped building in the background are dead giveaways. Old film has a way of squishing things to make them appear smaller. I've done this kind of stuff with old movie scenes paused and comparing the location in Google Maps, and it always looks much smaller in the old movie.

    I remember seeing them film the opening scene at this location on Magnolia and Cartwright in North Hollywood. I lived on the next street over which is Willowcrest Ave. Also, back in the late 1960's to some time in the 1970's, that location was an actual second-hand store called "Joe's Salvage and Junk Shop" that was owned by Joe Lawler (he looked like Jack Albertson's character " the man" in Chico and the Man). He later added a "theater" in the back of the building for stage plays. Me and some of my buddies from around the neighborhood used to go there and check out the merchandise. There was a very large yard in the back of the building that had lots of "stuff" for sale. You name it, they had it... the good old days! The original building that was seen in the show was razed in 1989 and the existing new structure was built.

    Great research as always, Rick. Thanks. Amazing to see that most of these locations still exist, albeit re-branded to different uses. The plumbing shop/brick-a-brack store must have drawn some attention to the occupants over the years by people thinking it may look like Fred and Lamont's residence inside still.

That chicken place probably came years later. We moved from LA in 82. I came back in 95.

At that time 9114 Central Ave was a parole/probation office, where I learned to play basketball, shoot pool, play ping pong as well as race cars on a track. The granite place was a gas station, the fast food place was one of the original Fat Burgers where they had the best chili fritos. A small church was across the street.
