I grew up in West LA, not far from MGM and 20th Century Fox. I used to drive by the MGM back lot all the time. My high school was the exterior for an early 60s show called "Mr. Novak". Every so often I'd be somewhere where something was being shot.
I used to watch "Streets of San Francisco" and laugh over how the actors would exit one landmark and show up at another one all the way across town. Like leaving stepping off the Golden Gate Bridge and appearing in Golden Gate Park, about three miles away. It put the Star Trek transporter to shame.
