Title: Where is this intersection?
Post by: papaT10932 on February 01, 2010, 11:37:45 AM



Does anyone know where this famous four-way intersection is? I've seen it in commercials and, probably, in movies, and now more recently in the commercials for TNT'S "Men of a Certain Age". But, I have no idea where it is. Thanks.

I would like to say that it's somewhere in the desert northeast of the Los Angeles area, perhaps in San Bernardino County just 'out' from Cajon Pass.

Just in case the OP is still alive and breathing, and still curious, that's Avenue K and 15th St East in Lake Los Angeles, CA.

These links with the abbreviated address (goo.gl) don't pass muster with my work computer's security software and end up blocked. Standard google maps links are cool with it though. I'm probably the only one who has this issue, yet I don't even understand how you get this short link. 

When I link to a spot in google maps, I get something like this: https://www.google.com/maps/@34.675136,-118.1033067,3a,60y,184.73h,99.54t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sd1VHxyt2UV8_mReWDTLD5g!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu

^ In the upper left box, you click on the 3 vertical dots then hit "Share or Embed Image", and it gives the shortened link.

Here's the location I posted (https://www.google.com/maps/@34.6754394,-117.8631806,3a,75y,86.88h,86.17t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1stfNvkbicPai2i43XEy8_iw!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DtfNvkbicPai2i43XEy8_iw%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D86.84438%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656?entry=ttu), using the full URL.  I usually go with the shortened because sometimes SMF or web browsers don't like all the "extra baggage".

I'm pretty sure mine is the actual location, at 150th St instead of at 15th St.  Note how the mountains in the background (looking east) are a perfect match for those in the video.

Yes, it is. That was a typo. I dropped the 0.
