Corey and Chrissy (Pamela Gidley) walk past the front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre at 6925 Hollywood Boulevard.

In the montage we also see the landmark Wacko store in its original location at 7402 Melrose Avenue. Corey pushes Chrissy on his skateboard along the sidewalk across the street from here.

The ice cream shop they go inside was formerly Bonnie & Clyde's Dessertery, now Penguin's Frozen Yogurt at 9113 West Olympic Boulevard in Beverly Hills.

The skate competition was held at the Del Mar Skate Ranch at the Surf and Turf Recreation Center at 15555 Jimmy Durante Boulevard in Del Mar, CA. The skate park was demolished in 1987 but a mini golf course and driving range still remain on site.

Corey & pals skate up and down Hollywood Boulevard between North McCadden Place and North Highland Avenue. They go right by the Hollywood Wax Museum and what is now the Guinness Museum. The whole sequence is essentially a montage of them going back and forth over the same block. This area has been developed a lot since then, but some of the landmarks remain.

Corey & Chrissy have a date at Maxwell's Cafe at 13329 West Washington Boulevard in Los Angeles.

The Daggers chase after Corey and one runs into a street sweeper at the corner of South Orange Drive and South La Brea Avenue.

He then hitches a ride on a city bus at West 4th Street & South La Brea Avenue.

The ramp where Corey & Tommy have a skateboard joust was in Bronson Canyon Park near Bronson Caves in Griffith Park. To get to it, drive to the end of Canyon Drive and park, then walk about a quarter mile up the dirt road. While you're there, you might as well check out the caves (to the right from the parking lot), also a popular filming location.

Tommy drives Chrissy past La Brea Dodge at 359 South La Brea Avenue, now an empty lot.
