You can rest assured knowing your custom container is safe in our hands. Our certified weld and quality control inspectors ensure everything is structurally sound and built to your specifications through every step of the process.
Renting a moving container from us makes your move much less stressful because you won't have to rush to pack your whole house into a moving truck in one day. Instead, you can take your time packing over the course of a month.

We prorate your rent by the day after the first 28-day billing cycle, so you don't have to pay for a full month when you only have your mobile containers and offices for a few days.
While other companies may be able to do small container modifications, most don't have an in-house fabrication staff or 90,000 sq ft fabrication facility like we do. As a result, they outsource the work on your custom container, so you don't know who's actually building it.
Rest assured knowing your modified shipping container will be built to the highest quality standards. Our certified weld and quality control inspectors check every step of the fabrication process to ensure everything is structurally sound and built to your specifications.
Whether you're in need of a storage container for your commercial business, a portable office for your construction site, or a moving container for your home, our process is simple and straightforward.
Choose the mobile storage solution that works best for your needs. In this step, you will let us know the number of containers you need, their sizes and what types of doors to equip.
Let us know if you would like to add any of our rental options, like a folding table or shelving.
Choose from padlocks, puck locks and other enhanced security options. All of our storage containers come standard with dual-locking, vault-like security.
You can expect standard delivery within 3-5 days of your order. If you need expedited delivery, we will do everything in our power to accommodate your needs.
Do you need to keep your shipping container at our location? Prefer to have our team deliver your packed container to a location of your choice? Let us know, and we'll be by your side to work out the logistics.
Let our team know where we should deliver your mobile storage container for rent in Granada Hills, CA. Be sure to let us know if there are any special conditions that might prevent our drivers from entering your chosen destination. Before you schedule your delivery, let us know which direction you would like the doors of your container to face.
Our drivers can deliver your storage container Monday-Friday, between the hours of 6AM and 2PM local time. Our two-hour delivery window is the most precise in the industry. If you desire another delivery time outside of our standard delivery options, we will do our best to accommodate your needs. As a courtesy, our driver will call you at least 30 minutes before they arrive at your drop-off destination.
Before we deliver your Conex box, prepare your delivery area by ensuring that there are no low overhangs, arches, wires, trees or any other obstacles that could interfere with your delivery. It's a good idea to mark the space where you would like your steel container placed.
When our driver arrives, they will back our truck into the space where you would like your shipping container placed. Once we arrive, we will ensure that your container is delivered safely and securely. If placed on asphalt or pavement, we will use wood dunnage pads to make sure your ground surface is protected and the container is level.

LOS ANGELES – A San Fernando Valley pharmacist who used forged prescriptions to illegally sell narcotics, including opioids, to phony “patients” has been sentenced to 24 months in federal prison, the Justice Department announced today.
Gevork Danielian, 41, of Granada Hills, was sentenced on Monday by United States District Judge Mark C. Scarsi, who also ordered him to pay a $100,000 fine.
Danielian pleaded guilty in November 2022 to one count of conspiracy to distributed controlled substances.
From December 2014 to July 2020, Danielian owned and operated the Winnetka-based A&G Vitalife Inc., which did business as A&G Care Pharmacy, where he worked as the pharmacist-in-charge. From April 2018 to December 2018, Danielian conspired with others to unlawfully sell narcotics, including hydrocodone, oxycodone, methamphetamine salts, and alprazolam, an anxiety medication sold under the brand name Xanax.
A co-conspirator would obtain blank prescription papers, Danielian would then provide – usually by text message – the names and dates of birth of individuals to be falsely identified as patients, which the co-conspirator would then use to fill in the falsified prescriptions. The co-conspirator would bring the falsified prescriptions to Danielian, bearing the forged signatures of real physicians. Danielian would “fill” the prescriptions in exchange for money despite knowing the narcotics were not going to be used for a legitimate medical purpose, but rather were going to be illicitly sold by his co-conspirator.
Danielian filled prescriptions for hundreds of pills of opioids and other narcotics during the conspiracy.
For example, on October 29, 2018, Danielian filled prescriptions for approximately 120 pills of 30-milligram strength oxycodone each for two fictitious patients, using a forged prescription falsely purporting to have been written by a physician.
In November 2020, the California State Board of Pharmacy placed Danielian on probation for four years and discontinued his business after he was accused of record-keeping deficiencies and dispensing narcotics authorized by fraudulent prescriptions.
“Pharmacists, by training and education, should be gatekeepers to help prevent abuse, addiction, and overdose,” prosecutors argued in a sentencing memorandum. “[Danielian] flouted this responsibility and instead became an agent of addiction and abuse.”
The Drug Enforcement Administration investigated this matter.
Assistant United States Attorney Maria Jhai of the Terrorism and Export Crimes Section prosecuted this case.

On a frosty, bright Sunday morning — as joy, warmth and rock music-fueled energy filled the sanctuary — CSUN President Erika D. Beck delivered words of hope, excitement and welcome on behalf of all Matadors on Feb. 26.
The annual tradition marked the last Sunday of Black History Month, “Super Sunday,” a statewide initiative of the CSU. Beck represented Northridge at H.O.P.E.’s House Christian Ministries in Granada Hills, one of more than 100 faith-based communities statewide working to spread the message of equity and inclusion in higher education for underrepresented groups.
Beck thanked the congregation for inviting CSUN into their spiritual home again this year. She noted that college enrollment is falling across the country, especially among students of color, and spoke of the urgency of reversing this trend.
“Making sure that our [campus] community and our leaders reflect the richness of diversity of the communities we’re so proud to serve is one of our highest priorities,” she said, as well as “making sure that our Black and African American students on campus don’t just succeed, but thrive beyond our doors as the leaders we need to ensure a brighter and more equitable future for us all. Our academic mission requires a robust and thriving African American student body and faculty.”
She also spoke about the unparalleled value and affordability of a CSU degree, and the impact of CSU and CSUN alumni across the nation.
H.O.P.E.’s House is near and dear to the CSUN community, as its lead pastor, Andrea “Dre” Humphrey ’88 (Economics), and its senior pastor, Charles Humphrey Jr. ’86 (Mechanical Engineering), are alumni who met on campus in 1982 and launched their congregation there some 20 years later.
Now situated a few miles northeast of campus, the congregation counts many alumni, as well as CSUN parents and staff, as members. Gigi McGuire, assistant director of Student Outreach and Recruitment, who coordinated the event for the university, invited the CSUN Black House, Black Faculty Staff Association, Black Alumni Association, Tseng College and others to share information on degree programs, campus resources for Black students and other information, in the church lobby after the morning service.
“This event remains important because it allows us to interact with community members that we may not meet at a school event or campus tour,” McGuire said. “We are able to share life-changing information, and answer questions that help people see that they can achieve the goal of getting a degree. This is a great way for CSUN to impact the community in a meaningful way.
“I always get questions about graduate programs and continuing education,” she said. “I envisioned a sort of ‘CSUN takeover’ [this year]. I was very excited to see five tables in the lobby, to engage with the students and families. It was also great to see so many current CSUN students visit as well. The conversation with Dr. Beck [after the service] was amazing, and I think the students appreciated her taking the time to chat.”
The pastors, deacons and other church leaders at H.O.P.E.’s House welcomed President Beck and the CSUN guests with open arms.
“I’ve had the privilege of seeing Dr. Beck live and in person — at events such as Diversity Council events, awards programs, basketball games and Alumni Association meetings, and I’ve found her to be warm, engaging and super approachable,” said Senior Pastor Charles Humphrey Jr., who serves on the Alumni Association board of directors. “In fact, on one occasion, she stopped the conversation she was having with some high-level muckety muck at Northridge. She said, ‘Hello.’ [And then] she asked, ‘How’s Dre?’” The question surprised and delighted the pastor, he said.
“Okay! You got me at ‘How’s Dre?’” he said, as the audience of about 200 cheered. “I really appreciated her personal warmth and energy, and her engagement with all that she deals with on a regular basis. Out of all the high-powered folks she deals with on a regular basis … she saw me. And she sees you as well.”
In her remarks, Beck reflected on her own higher education journey.
“From the moment I set foot on a college campus, I knew that universities were the engines that power possibility, ignite potential and curate peace,” she said. “I have devoted my entire career to facilitating access to the transformative power of higher education because I know for sure that it doesn’t just impact individual lives, it changes family trees and elevates every member of our community.”
She thanked the congregation for its support in helping more students reach the doors of the California State University, noting that it’s never too early — or too late — to begin or finish a college degree. “We welcome all, we embrace all,” she said. “We hope that you will join with us.”
Other Matadors who joined President Beck at Super Sunday included William Watkins, dean of students and vice president of Student Affairs; Nichole Ipach, vice president of University Relations and Advancement and president of the CSUN Foundation; and Joaquin Macias ’00 (Psychology), an officer on the CSUN Alumni Association board of directors.

Nearly 10 months after the popular Regency Theaters in Granada Hills was acquired by Home Depot, a new plan envisions turn the theater and a dozen shops and restaurants into an imposing mega hardware store.
The Atlanta-based home improvement chain bought the Regency Theatre building in October for $37 million. Its plan calls for a 136,000 sq. foot main building and 28,000 sq. ft. garden center at the intersection of Balboa Boulevard and Devonshire Street.
The plan quickly drew criticism from surrounding communities concerned about parking, traffic — and the loss of their area’s popular theater and 12 businesses including O.Tofu House & Pankko Tonkatsu restaurant, according to a representative with the Los Angeles Planning Department.
Representatives of Home Deport have filed an application with city planners, disclosing their intent to build a vast store with a garden center at 16830 Devonshire Street that would require demolition of numerous businesses in the northeast part of the shopping center. A total of 456 parking spaces are planned, and 33 bicycle spaces, according to documents filed with the city.
Dave Beauvais, former president of the Granada Hills South Neighborhood Council, said the reason some neighbors and business owners are upset is because the concept moved forward without enough neighborhood input.
“It appears it’s just a done deal without any input from the community,” he said. “That’s the biggest problem.”
He said the shopping center, home to a supermarket, restaurants, a bank, the movie theater and many other businesses, was “a lousy place to put a big hardware store.”
“My concerns would be, is it a good fit in that shopping center?” he said. “You’re replacing a bunch of small retail stores and the theater — where most of the traffic was (going) on evenings and weekends — with a huge 140,000 sq. foot store. It’s going to draw traffic from all over the north Valley,” he said.
The new store would be nearly twice as large as the theater’s footprint. An owner of a building adjacent to Regency Theaters declined to comment, but said he’d already hired a lawyer to sue Home Depot. Representatives of Home Depot didn’t immediately return requests for comment.
Granada Hills resident Linda Williamson said, “There’s a variety of businesses which serve a variety of purposes and I am not delighted about a single business replacing this variety.”
She added that building a massive hardware store would not serve the community’s needs and would be “a significant change to the character of the neighborhood.”
“A community is a diverse group of people with a diverse group of needs,” Williamson said. “That’s why there’s a diverse group of businesses there, to serve them. And for Home Depot corporation — it feels like they’re just coming in and saying: ‘No, no, no, all you need is one giant hardware store.’”
She added that demolishing the popular theater and shops would clearly lead to the loss of “a good family-friendly activity.”
Michael Benedetto, president of the Granada Hills South Neighborhood Council, said the new project would displace businesses that “Granada Hills has come to know and love.” Ralphs and AutoZone, which are located on a separate parcel, would remain, according to the city planning department.
He added that the neighborhood council’s position on the project is neutral, but “this has been a tremendous community concern. We get a lot of emails from a lot of different people.”
He said that although residents had “mixed feelings” about the mega Home Depot, nearly 80% of them opposed it, especially due to the loss of the beloved Regency Theaters, which has been showing films in Granada Hills for more than 25 years.
The neighborhood council will have a town hall in the next few weeks with representatives from Home Depot and the city planning department who will answer questions and share their plans for the new store.
Not since 1987 had Granada Hills won a City Section football championship. And the Highlanders have never had a teenager who runs as fast as senior Dijon Stanley, the 400-meter City champion.Each time Stanley has his hands on the football, he can take the breath away of fans and opponents alike. His first carry in the City Section Division I championship game Saturday at Valley College resulted in a 39-yard touchdown run. Then came touchdown runs of 41, 90 and 12 yards. By halftime, he had 293 yards rushing....

Palisades had no answer for Stanley, who finished with 367 yards rushing and five touchdowns in helping the Highlanders (11-2) end their championship drought with a 44-7 victory.

Granada Hills coach Bucky Brooks, an NFL analyst on TV and radio, didn’t have much time to celebrate. He had to take a redeye flight to Florida. He’s the sideline reporter for Jacksonville broadcasts. A former NFL player, Brooks has helped develop Stanley as a football player. Yet he has to explain as coach at the alma mater of John Elway why the Highlanders haven’t completed a single pass this season.

“We have to do what works for the kids,” Brooks said.
Stanley has committed to Utah. Stanley is used as a quarterback and wing back in the double-wing offensive formation. The Highlanders advance to next week’s state bowl playoffs and learn their opponent when regional matchups are released Sunday.
Granada Hills’ defense also distinguished itself with strong play. Sean Lopez and Oliver Taylor each recorded sacks and Orion Norcon returned an interception 72 yards to the 10-yard line.
“We practice every day at 5:30 in the morning,” Stanley said. “A lot of people can’t do that.”
The Highlanders lost in the first round of the playoffs last season, then started practicing a week later and the hard work paid off.

Several severe weather warnings and advisories have been released by the National Weather Service across southern and central California.
The National Weather Service (NWS) outpost in San Diego has issued a blizzard warning for the San Bernardino County Mountains that will remain in effect until at least Friday at 4 am PT. Snow actuation will begin at around 4000 feet, with the NWS estimating that between two and four inches will fall in the area. At 5000 feet, snowfall could reach between three and five feet. At higher altitudes, a blizzard could hamper visibility with fog and heavy snow limiting sight to a quarter of a mile.
The National Weather Service office in Hanford oversees cities including Tuolumne Meadows, Wawona, Devils Postpile, Florence Lake, Lake Thomas Edison, Lake Wishon, Huntington Lake, Shaver Lake, Cedar Grove, Grant Grove, Hume Lake, Giant Forest, Lodgepole, and Johnsondale has already released a series of warnings.
A handful of warnings have also been issued by the NWS offices in Los Angeles and Oxnard as well.
A Winter Storm Warning, in effect until 4 am PT on Friday, and a Blizzard Warning from 4 am PT on Friday through 4 pm to 4 PM PST Saturday, have been issued for the Ventura County Mountains and Los Angeles County Mountains. At low elevations, “snow, strong winds and very cold wind chills” are expected. Blizzard conditions could materialize as well, with “winds gusting up to 80 mph, and near zero visibility.” Between 2000 and 4000 feet, six to twelve inches are expected to accumulate, and at higher elevations, as much as eight feet could fall.
In the Santa Barbara County Interior Mountains, a Blizzard and Winter Storm Warning have been issued and will remain in effect until 4 pm PT on Saturday. Heavy snow, up to three feet at more than 3500 feet, is expected, and wind gusts could reach 65 mph. Officials warn that these conditions may make travel “impossible” and to watch out for damage caused by “strong winds.”
We are still on track for our DANGEROUS winter storm. Expect blizzard conditions in the mountains with FEET of snowfall. A few inches of rain are expected in lower elevations. Be weather ready! #CAwx #LArain #LAsnow #blizzard pic.twitter.com/HbUn08J2qQ

Many in southern California may not be used to these conditions, so the NWS is working to inform the public of the risks. “If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency,” said the agency, adding that “travel should be restricted to emergencies only.” If, for some reason, you are forced to pull over because of the storm, it is best to stay in your vehicle to avoid exposure to the blizzard conditions, which can be deadly.

The early-morning fog casts a sheen over John Elway Stadium, the Granada Hills High football players assembling into formation again, bundled in hoodies underneath forest-green jerseys.
This was the stamping grounds for one of the greatest athletes in City Section history, a young John Elway slinging the ball for the Highlanders in his pre-NFL days. Yet 45 years later, nary a pass cuts through this Monday morning haze, coach Bucky Brooks barking out directions as his players line up in their vaunted double-wing offense again. And again. And again.
They put hours upon hours into the running game, Utah commit and featured running back Dijon Stanley says. And indeed the Highlanders have, riding Stanley and his cousin Darrell Stanley to a 12-2 season and a spot in the CIF Division 4-A state championship football bowl game against Novato San Marin on Saturday.
These Highlanders aren’t just run-heavy, though. They’re run-only, unlike any state championship team in California history. Get this: Granada Hills, the home of Elway, hasn’t completed a pass all season. All seven of their pass attempts have fallen incomplete.
When asked whether that was strange to look back on, Dijon Stanley grinned and shook his head.
“We’ve been doing this all year,” said Stanley, who has rushed for 32 touchdowns this season. “It’s not really weird to us. We always say we would rather be great at one thing than be good at a lot of things.”
The irony? Brooks, the mad scientist and former NFL kick returner cooking up this scheme, was once a proponent of a spread offense at Sherman Oaks Notre Dame under then-coach Kevin Rooney.
“He was the guy, when coaching with us, was trying to get us to throw the ball more,” Rooney said of Brooks.
Yet after years of talented quarterbacks and receivers at Notre Dame, Brooks quickly learned in 2019 — his first year at Granada Hills — that the City Section was a completely different ballgame.
After attempting to start the season in a power-spread offense, trying formations out of the shotgun and mixing runs with bubble screens, Brooks realized he had to pivot as his Highlanders coaching career started 0-3. The double-wing, then, was merely a part of their goal-line playbook. Brooks made it the focal point of their offensive system.
In today’s City Section landscape, Brooks said, it’s not always easy to find a quality quarterback. Even harder to retain them. So his philosophy in building a program? Have a system in place that lets you play without the pass.
“In high school,” Brooks said, “you got to coach what shows up.”
What’s shown up this season: the Stanley cousins, who have run wild in the double-wing behind an offensive line that has played together for a couple of seasons. Darrell, a sophomore, has run for 1,294 yards. Dijon, now a senior but playing his first full high school football season after breaking his collarbone last year, has racked up 2,670 yards.
After that injury-interrupted junior season, when Granada Hills stumbled to a 4-6 record, many believed Dijon would leave, he said. Not an option. He had known Brooks from his youth football days, and the coach, Dijon said, gave him a chance after he transferred from Grace Brethren High.
“It does give me a little sense of pride to just come out and play with my brothers,” Dijon said. “No scouting, no recruiting. These are just kids from — half of them live around the corner from the school, me being one of them.”
On Saturday, the neighborhood kids beat Laguna Beach, a Southern Section program with 38 passing touchdowns on the year, in a 56-55 barnburner for the CIF Division 4-A regional title. San Marin, the Highlanders’ opponent for the state title Saturday, is a team that has recorded — in a remarkable coincidence — 38 passing touchdowns on the year.
Since 2019, Brooks’ first season, Granada Hills has passed for one score.
“I think the challenge that you have sometimes as a coach is, are you married to systems or are you married to what works well for what you have?” Brooks said.
The trip from Los Angeles on a chartered bus to San Francisco to play in the CIF Division 7-A state championship football bowl game went well for Crenshaw High. Unfortunately, the game itself was another story.

The trip from Los Angeles on a chartered bus to San Francisco to play in the CIF Division 7-A state championship football bowl game went well for Crenshaw High. Unfortunately, the game itself was another story. The Cougars were beaten by San Francisco Lincoln 54-6 on Saturday afternoon at Kezar Stadium.
Lincoln coach Phil Ferrigno’s main concern about Crenshaw was quarterback Donce Lewis.
“That kid has a strong arm,” Ferrigno said. “Not in my wildest dreams this was going to happen.”
His defense made early adjustments to win their second state title in three seasons.
Two top players for the Cougars (7-8) couldn’t make the trip because of illness, but coach Robert Garrett said his team that numbered 19 players fought hard. He is proud of what they accomplished, winning a City Section Division III championship and regional bowl game as the Cougars attempt to regain their status as a City power.
Most of Crenshaw’s players are underclassmen, giving Garrett hope for the future.
CRENSHAW!!! The circus catch that was tipped a few different times puts them on the board!! pic.twitter.com/l7lt3AMT1h

“On the way down here, we stopped to eat and I got positive reviews on the kids’ character,” Garrett said. “Even the officials complimented how well the kids behaved. Those are positive things beyond football and what we try to do about their mannerism and character.”
Makyi Douglas caught a touchdown pass for Crenshaw’s only score.
It was a rainy night in the Bay Area, with many of Southern California teams having difficulty against their Northern California hosts.
Granada Hills (12-3), the City Division I champion, completed its first pass of the season against San Marin in Novato in its 4-A championship game. But the Highlanders fell behind 25-8 at halftime and were beaten 32-8.
Dijon Stanley ended his high school career for the Highlanders with a two-yard touchdown run and two-point conversion run. San Marin became one of the few opponents to contain Stanley, who came in averaging more than 12 yards per carry.
The comeback of the night belonged to Laguna Hills, which won the 3-A championship with a 28-27 victory over San Jose Bellarmine.
Laguna Hills (15-1) rallied from a 27-7 halftime deficit to take a 28-27 lead in the fourth quarter on a 62-yard touchdown run by Troy Leigber.
In the 6-A final, Atascadero defeated San Gabriel 41-0.
In 4-AA, Irvine Northwood was beaten by Escalon 28-7.
In 5-AA, Pasadena Muir lost to Hughson 9-6

Celebrate Women’s History Month and the 95th Academy Awards with movies directed by women, spanning the 1950s to the present. Discover Los Angeles film locations that range from "the last of the great train stations" in Downtown LA to an iconic shopping mall in the Valley and a famed biker bar in Malibu.
Released in 1953, The Bigamist has the distinction of being the first U.S. feature film directed by and starring the same woman. Ida Lupino began her career as an actress, but turned her focus towards writing and directing in the late 1940s. She was a trailblazer, noted for being the first woman to direct a noir film (The Hitch-Hiker, also released in 1953) and often tackled taboo subjects. The Bigamist is about a man who juggles two lives and two wives, one in San Francisco and one in Los Angeles. In the L.A. portions of the film, you’ll catch a glimpse of classic movie star homes via a scene on a tour bus. Much of this storyline, though, takes place along Wilshire Boulevard and into Downtown LA. Look for the Bullocks-Wilshire Building (now Southwestern Law School), The Town House, Union Station, the Hall of Justice and Chinatown’s Central Plaza.
Amy Heckerling’s second entry on this list, and the canon of teen films, is Clueless. In the 1995 film, Cher, Dionne and their friends make tracks around Los Angeles, from driving around Beverly Hills to venturing to a party in the Valley. You might have more of an adventure seeking out the locations used in the now-classic film.
In fact, Discover Los Angeles has a two-part guide to Clueless locations that includes Occidental College, The Witch’s House in Beverly Hills and North Hollywood’s Circus Liquor.
Amy Heckerling’s first feature film, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, is a teenage classic filled with star-making roles for several of its actors, including Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold and Phoebe Cates. The movie also made stars of its locations, amongst them, Sherman Oaks Galleria. If you visit the Galleria now, though, you’ll find an altogether different space. It's living its current life as an outdoor mall. Similarly, you can still drive down Chatsworth Street near White Oak Avenue in Granada Hills like Brad did as a Captain Hook delivery driver, but your surroundings will have changed quite a bit from 1982. Meanwhile, you might still recognize Van Nuys High School for its role as Ridgemont High.
The family of con artists at the center of Miranda July’s 2020 film Kajillionaire live adjacent to a soap factory, whose product continually seeps through the shared wall. The trio is also late on the rent, so they tend to creep around the factory, bending beneath the low, dark green fence in front of the teal factory building. You’ll find this distinctive complex in a warehouse-heavy neighborhood in Huntington Park.
Located in University Park, the Stimson House is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument that dates back to the 19th century and has appeared on screen a number of times over the decades. In The Manor, the 2021 horror film directed by Axelle Carolyn, the Stimson House serves as a senior home where former dancer Judith (Barbara Hershey) retreats after a stroke. The house is featured prominently in the film, where its exquisite, but slightly haunted, beauty reflects the film’s meditations on aging and death.
Written and directed by Allison Anders, Mi Vida Loca (1994) is a story of friendships and rivalries among young, female gang members and casts Echo Park in a role as large as those of its stars. While Echo Park has changed immensely since the 1990s, you still might feel a sense of déjà vu as you drive down Echo Park Boulevard and see some vaguely familiar structures. The one location that you’ll easily recognize from the film is the park itself with Echo Park Lake glistening in the background.
More than a decade before she would garner a slew of awards, including the Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture for The Hurt Locker, Kathryn Bigelow captured the imagination of action flick fans with Point Break. Starring Patrick Swayze as surfer/criminal mastermind and Keanu Reeves as the FBI agent infiltrating his operation, Point Break gives viewers a look at the Southern California coast and beyond. Dockweiler and Leo Carrillo are amongst the beaches used in the film. Other noteworthy locations are Neptune’s Net, the Malibu restaurant and bar that’s a popular filming location and Santa Monica Airport.
Sofia Coppola’s 2010 film, Somewhere, takes viewers inside the Chateau Marmont, where actor Johnny Marco is living a somewhat debauched Hollywood life until his daughter arrives. The movie presents an insider's look at Chateau Marmont, with balcony views and other details that you might not get to see unless you were staying at the hotel. Similarly, viewers get a peek inside a press junket at The Four Seasons. The luxe destinations are juxtaposed with more accessible local spots like Pickwick Ice Center in Burbank.
In 1984, Penelope Spheeris unleashed what would become a cult favorite with Suburbia. A tale of struggling youth who find community through punk rock, the film features Flea, better known as the bassist for Red Hot Chili Peppers, as one of the young punks, as well as performances from bands D.I., The Vandals and T.S.O.L. The most recognizable location in the movie is Johnie’s Coffee Shop, which is no longer open, but still stands as a Googie landmark on Wilshire Blvd.
If you want to see what Los Angeles looked like in the early 2000s, watch Thirteen. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke and co-written by Hardwicke and then-teenage Nikki Reed, this tale of teenage rebellion showcases a Los Angeles that exists primarily in memories now. Yes, you can still shop on Melrose Avenue, but Red Balls, the shop that outfitted many a club kid at the turn of the century and was featured prominently in the film, is long gone. While you might still see John Travolta’s star on Hollywood Boulevard, the Galaxy Theater featured in Thirteen is also a thing of the past. One storefront that’s still around, though, is Ocean Front Tattoo in Venice, called Ocean Front Piercing in the movie. Hardwicke also directed Lords of Dogtown, where Imperial Beach, near San Diego, filled in as the long-gone Pacific Ocean Park.
