Remember the bench scenes in 500 Days of Summer? That's a real place in downtown Los Angeles. When I first watched the movie I didn't realize that I had been there already, it looked more grand on the big screen, almost like another city. But that's how movie magic works: filmmakers take an ordinary place and make it cool.
Here's a little footage from a recent visit.

I love your blog. Cool stuff.
@Alea
My pleasure. It's a nice little spot.
@Denzel
It's at 4th and Hill.
@Fabnay
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy it.
Man. Whenever I pass by this, I pout because as much as I want to sit there and experience Tom and Summer's bench, I know I'd probably get lost trying to get up there. Hahahaha, pathetic, really.
I was wondering where that was the other, thanks a lot for letting us know :)
