Lost in Location

 It's very rare for me to see a TV show or movie that takes place somewhere that I've spent a large amount of time.

That said, I'm watching Sacramento and been really bothered by some of the geographic choices.

Like the guys driving from LA to Sacramento and for some reason there's a brief point when they're on a two lane road with no building in site. Unless you're pulling off because you're desperate to go to the bathroom, there's no reason to leave the highway on that drive.

Also, they cross the Tower Bridge twice and it seems that both times are coming from West Sacramento into Sacramento. Once, it even suggests that they got of I-5 on to the bridge. There ain't no exit from 5 to the bridge.

Then, they're at Joe's Crab Shack in Oldtown, when they throw the "ashes" into the river, and then go to breakfast. I assume they'd go somewhere close, which is all of downtown and midtown. (It's not that big compared to other cities with a downtown and midtown.) It's Sunday and the road is completely empty. I'm not just talking traffic, but no one is parked on the street. Let me tell you, any place with a decent breakfast in that area, on a Sunday, wouldn't have parking for blocks. It must have been a really shitty diner.

While it didn't ruin the movie for me, it did take me out of the story.

Is it like this all the time for people who live in New York or LA or, London, or Paris?

I'm sorry, if it is. I don't like this feeling.
