Just hit Studio City paydirt, Adam 12-wise. In the third to final episode of season three Reed and Malloy are driving down the street - it looked familiar and as soon as they turned right I knew they were a mere four blocks from my home environment, driving south on Whitsett and turning right onto Ventura Blvd. Where now is Carny's, Staples, Aaron Brothers and one of those bed and linen places was a huge Safeway market. Who knew? And as soon as they passed that, there was the bowling alley that's adjacent to what is now Jerry's Deli. They didn't drive past the bowling alley so I couldn't see what was there. Across the street is almost virtually the same now - gas station and a row of homey shops. Then a couple of minutes later, they're in a different area, but the minute they turn right onto a new street I know it's Moorpark and Whitsett, and there's Ringside Liquor (still there, looking exactly the same) - the car repair place was, of course, a gas station, and where now sits the Oyster House bar and tiny restaurant, was some other tiny bar and restaurant whose name is obscured. They stop right in front of the store at 12436 Moorpark, which is now a hair place, I think. Where the little Studio City library is now was a Texaco gas station. Otherwise, it still looks pretty much the same.
