I know Oxford as well as you'd expect from living here for much of my life (as a child as well as later). It is quite disconcerting, when watching Morse or Lewis on the TV to see them walk through a gate or round a corner that I know well and emerge in a completely different part of town!

Jake Bugg's got a music video that opens with him walking towards the train station in Nottingham. That blew my fucking mind.

I just learned of a 2000-ish movie ("Bless The Child," or something like that) which includes one of my favorite sightseeing spots (Bluewater Bridge) digitally moved from the foot of Lake Huron to New York City.

That's OK, I went to IU Bloomington in the 80's.
Ever seen Breaking Away? I ate daily in the cafeteria with the fight scene at 1:22, and had a bike wreck next to the bench by the library at 1:46... most of town and campus hadn't changed since the movie was made, and I didn't see the movie until I'd lived there a few years.

Small world, I live in Bloomington. Mind it's been a few decades now, so several things have changed, but it's still trippy to recognize a few places in that trailer. The IU Main Library and the Auditorium, that stretch of Kirkwood St., what I'm pretty sure is Walnut St., and I want to say that highway they're going down at the end is 37N, but I could be totally off-track.

My wife has an MLS degree from UI, and spent a lot of time there. We also enjoyed Breaking Away.
