This morning started with a tour of Warner Brothers. The backlot was very busy with filming because the shows are very far behind from the writers/actors strike. We saw the actual sets for Friends and Big Bang Theory.
They have the Central Perk Cafe set up to look like the Friends set.
The backlot was currently filming Abbott Elementary, Young Sheldon, and Bob ❤️ Abishola. See if you recognize some of the locations.
And a few other places that might look familiar to you.
Some costumes
So we were talking to a couple of the guides while we were waiting for the golf cart. They asked if we have been before. We told him he came during the ER heyday when George Clooney was still part of the cast. He said I have some good George stories. He said that he liked to eat at the place across the street, Smokehouse. So we tried it. Very nice place. We shared some ribs that fell off the bones. The two tables around us were talking film schedules and post production. And yes George was a regular there. They have a table set aside as “his” table but he didn’t eat there. He ate in a dark corner so he could eat in peace.
Next stop was Hollywood Forever Cemetery. We saw a few graves of famous people.
To end the afternoon we drove up to the Griffith Observatory. We can see it from our hotel so we thought we would see great views of the city. We drove up there and the city is so hazy you really couldn’t see anything. So we didn’t want to pay to park and see haze. So we drove back to our hotel for a little while. We are meeting some friends for dinner, so today is in the books for sight seeing.
Tomorrow we head to Anaheim and maybe the Nixon Presidential Library.
