Notes on Individual Scenes
-----------------------------

Various Southern scenes

Wakes up from nap in NM - beside freeway - may be I-25

Welcome to Fort Rudd - Base entrance - Unclear

Cafe - Formerly Milton's Coffee Shop, and what is currently the Whole Hog Cafe, 725 Central Ave. NE.

Contact Wireless parking lot - narrow slot - likely next to Boese Brothers, about 609 Gold Avenue SW.

Strip Club - TD's show club - Eubank (2120 Eubank Blvd. NE) and North (6001 Brentwood Pl. NE). I'm thinking maybe Eubank location, because photos on NM filmography site, from Brentwood, do not match views in scene.

Downtown Travel Inn - Imperial Inn Motel, 701 Central Avenue NE - Room 105.
