I've just been watching my Tomboy DVD for the first time. Since it was shot in
L.A. and I
live in L.A., I've been trying to figure out some of the shooting locations.

For example, when Tommy plays the opening basketball game, she drives off on her
motorcycle and passes a sign for the 2900W block of Van Pelt Pl. Sadly, Google
can't find
a Van Pelt Pl. in all of Los Angeles.

The mechanic's shop has a very fake-looking sign out front indicating that it's
the 100
block of Main St., so I don't put much stock in that. The cross street is
Central, and
Central appears again when Tommy is chased on her motorcycle.

During that motorcycle chase, Tommy passes 4th street. There is a Central Ave.
which
intersects with a 4th St. in L.A. near where the 101 crosses the 110.

Tommy and Seville dine at the Atomic Cafe. From what I can tell, the place
closed years
ago.

When Tommy takes the muscle car for a test spin, I see Pasadena St. or Ave.

Would love to know where the water park location was, or the race track from the
climax
of the movie.

Any other Angelenos here?
