A few times the parking lot for the New Hanover High School is used as the hangout spot for the boys.

Early on, Coleman (Jason Robards), Gena (Piper Laurie), and Ike (Harry Dean Stanton) have some pleasant small talk on the character establishment train with a full stop at this balcony table.

When I watched this film, I almost thought I saw it before because there was another movie which used that same exact balcony table at the same restaurant, and most likely was also a crane shot. I just can’t figure out what film it was, I thought maybe with Richard Dreyfuss, but that isn’t matching with anything he was in.

Later in the movie, Bobby/Coleman (Corey Feldman) and Lainie (Meredith Salenger) revisit this location during a montage.

This location itself has been many different restaurants over the years. A past bandmate used to work in the kitchen there when it was Roy’s Riverboat Landing.

Used several times throughout the film, initially it is where the gang originates from before they traipse through Coleman’s (Jason Robards) yard and flowerbed.

It’s actually behind the location for Coleman’s house, which is also right across from New Hanover High School, the school they attended. Most of the cast walked down this alley at one point in the movie.
