20. A bit of trivia about the gazebo pictured

It was built for the set of "Gung Ho," a 1986 movie filmed in Beaver, PA. The gazebo was left standing and gifted to the town.
(I only know this because I grew up there and my cop brother was an extra in the film...playing a cop :))

[FrenchieCat]

21. I love it! It is so Music Man Americana!

Excellent imagery!

[Liberal Dose]

23. My first thought was how appropriate the setting was, especially because of what the whole movie was

about :D

[FrenchieCat]

26. That was one of my favorite movies.......

[TahitiNut]

24. Exactly right. Along with Bridgewater, PA and Pittsburgh, PA as locations.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091159/locations

The park scene was filmed in Beaver, Pennsylvania. The film crew built the gazebo especially for the film, and left it as a gift to the city, where it remains today.

Beaver, PA was also the filming location for "Wonder Boys" (2000)

[Liberal Dose]

25. Oh man, I forgot all about the Wonder Boys!

I forgot all about "The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh" on purpose.
