The motel used in the movie where his brother died is in Anahiem, Ca. Across the street from Disneyland (catty-corner). We dont think the motel is still standing [Thanks to Josh]

LX is our radical new locations feature that we've been beavering away on.. For years!
Each location will have it's own page with then/now pictures, maps, StreetView, discovery story and the most detailed explanations on how the location was used. Most importantly, the locations will have a status that shows whether they are verified correct and by whom. We are working with the actual locations managers or other crew where possible. The whole thing will be very interactive and you will, of course, be able to update everything.
