Where Tom Meets Autumn

Weekend getaway to LA because it is Week 9 and I needed one. We were planning to go to The Broad Museum (AND Los Angeles County Museum of Art - LACMA) and the Bradbury building, but for a reason I will talk about in the next post, we did not end up going to LACMA. Fortunately, we came through another place instead (accidentally!) 

I knew that I wanted to go to Bradbury building because the facade and interior were visually appealing but I did not notice that this is the same building where Tom Hansen met Autumn in the final scene of (500) Days of Summer! Figured this out when I googled about this building later that day. Here is a snippet from the movie:

It is walking distance from the Grand Central Market (in fact, it is right across it), as well as from the Broad. The building was a national historic landmark. It is the city's oldest land-marked building, being built in 1893. It has been used as an office building; however, the first floor is open for public (aka tourists). 

While finding a way to get to Grand Central Market from the Broad, we passed through a fenced park. I felt like this park was very familiar and when I saw the sign that this was Angel's Knoll, I was very excited because I knew this was Tom's favorite place haha. Sadly, the park is permanently closed so we could only look from outside.

 Here is a scene from the movie at this place:

What a coincidence that it could actually be a (500) Days of Summer - shooting locations trip :p
