Locations: Community Center Interiors

The community center is perfect inside. It's an older style center - perhaps from 1980's. The only potential problems are the on-going construction in the main foyer and storage of materials outside the center.




The bar. Located outside the main hall.




The tables and chairs in the main hall. No photo of the main hall - didn't turn out well.




The women's restroom - good spot for the bathroom scene.

Locations: Potential interior #2

A modern, more Icelandic styled apartment. The main downside to this apartment is the dark green paint in the hallway.


The living room.




The kitchen is perfect and has a great view.




The bathroom.




Locations: Potential Interiors #1

A large, fairly ornate location. Has large windows, lots of space, great light and high ceilings. What do you think of this location? What kind of a family would live here?




The Living Room.




The hallway.




The bathroom - likely would work.




The corner jacuzzi.

Locations: Potential House Exteriors

Fura and I scouted some potential house exteriors this afternoon. None have been selected yet.




1970's style home. Small windows might dictate choice of interior.




Fairly large home. Older style colors - renovated in the late 1970's.




Poorly kept house in an expensive neighborhood. Not quite able to keep up.
