I got a tour of 3 locations

About 10 years ago I visited my girlfriend's parents in Santa Rosa, CA. They found out that I was a big fan of AG and her dad took us on a quick road trip to nearby Petaluma. We stopped at the liquor store where Toad tries to buy Old Harper. We stopped at the lot where Jerry's Cherries was located, and we drove down the road where the final race took place. (Paradise Road) I am a huge fan of the movie and it was very cool to see those locations. My girlfriend's parents got a kick out of my interest and enthusiasm.

Thanks for that-i'd like to see those locales as well. Just curious, did you marry your then girlfriend?

Did you notice that Paradise Road location is actually 'Frates Road'? https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/944891_985939118110732_1134765133651528701_n.jpg?oh=2f8027b1914d702de1b26d42b3b12cbd&oe=578ED708
