I think it was the way filming portrayed Bosch, the City (LA), and leaving street signage crystal that made me start to visit these filming locations via Google Maps StreetView.  It was fun deducing where the various scenes had been filmed.  A bank, in the story, was actually a restaurant “in real life.”

So, with Season 6 of BOSCH, more fun figuring out where the story was filmed.

The Hollywood Sign and LAPD Hollywood Station become focal points.  There is lag time between when the the Google StreetView “view” was filmed and when that area was filmed for the show.  In fact for BOSCH, I have seen several instances where a filming location was greatly changed by a building or house being remodeled or even removed completely.  *In the movie, “Pulp Fiction,” there was a sleazy motel used for filming.  This motel was demolished after filming and a two story storage facility built in it’s place.

A husband is murdered while meeting with supposed kidnappers, who have tied his wife up in their home.  From StreetView, you cannot visit the murder location because of a security gate.  And, in reality, the murder location is just a couple of blocks from the home used for filming the kidnapping.  This home was remodelled, much for the better, between the current view on StreetView and the home filmed for the Season.

I am guessing that the filmed interior was from this exterior, but the company has since moved to a larger location.

[ NOTE 12/23/23 ]: I was watching the first few minutes of a movie, “Saltburn” a day or so ago, and it starts with the camera following one of the main characters as he mills about a student crowd through the Oxford University (UK) campus. We see the Radcliff Camera, an iconic library building on the Oxford Campus, as he is walking by it. And, I am mentally checking off the buildings which I have become very familiar with starting with my interest in “Morse” the famous Oxford detective. I’m saying to myself, the building on the right is the Bodleian Library, and I think next to it is Trinity College, and in front of us is Brasenose College where he enters. *But, it wasn’t Trinity, which is nearby, but Exeter College. I recall some time ago, using Google Streetview to view the “front door” to Brasenose, and I seem to recall it has a distinctive “brass nose” on the door. **I stand corrected. In looking for the view of the front door, just now, the Streetview didn’t stop directly in front of the door, so I searched for images of the front door, and they had no distinctive brass knocker on them. And finally I read that the brass knocker had been removed in the 14th Century, but returned sometime later, and not re-installed on the door. You can view the brass nose knocker, but just not on the door.
