Additional Filming Locations identified!

With the help of some fantastic people and fans of the show, I was able to fill some of the gaps concerning yet unidentified filming locations of season one.

Thanks to Joe Thompson - a fountain of knowledge on Cable Car and Bay Ferry history - and his friend Emiliano Echevarria, who used to live on the ferry boat in question, I learned that the huge oval boat used in Legion of the Lost as the Cullen Company's headquarters was retired Bay ferry 'San Leandro'. It has quite an interesting history too: built of steel in the 1920's and with turbo-electric propulsion, it was 225 feet long and served as a Bay ferry up to the late 1950's. After that, 'San Leandro' was moored at the Ferry Building till a fire in the 1960's, then completely rebuilt for residential use and moved to Pier 37 (where it sat when it was used in the show). Another big fire occured in the 1970's, and after that the hull got towed over to the Oakland Estuary.

Another brainteaser was unraveled by Matthew Kuukka from San Francisco. He identified the location of police officer Sherry Reese's new aparment in Act of Duty to be on S Mayfair Avenue in Daly City.

The same appreciation goes to fellow fan and SF Muni blogger Greg Dewar, who identified the 'Pacific State Hospital' in For the Love of God to be Laguna Honda Hospital west of Twin Peaks.

Todd Lappin from San Francisco identified the crime scene inĀ Hall of Mirrors to be the fruit and vegetables central market on Jerrold Avenue. By the way, the 'Market Grill' bar is also located on-site.

Thanks to all of you guys! :)

I will be on holidays for almost three weeks now, so the next update will be added around July 13th. Stay tuned!
