Will the real "Bailey Park" please stand up?
Watching "It's A Wonderful Life" for the umpteenth time tonight I wondered where "Bailey Park" from the fictional town of Bedford Falls NY was in the Los Angeles landscape, I wanted pictures, ya know... then and now stuff.... TO THE INTERNET! A google search later I found just what I was looking for, it was filmed in the town of La Cañada, just 5 miles north of my current home in South Pasadena:
Bailey Park then...
And now... (Google Map Link)
The new Martini home then...
And now...
The front door then...
and now...
Thank you INTERNETS!

Yes it does
blankfistThat's really cool, youdie. Also, apparently Bedford Falls is based on a place in NY called Seneca Falls. Here's more on that.
