ReplyDeleteLove it, TFS.
ReplyDeleteThe Cesar Chavez bridge is in south St. Paul... not LA🤫😝
ReplyDeleteThere is a Cesar Chavez st in ST Paul, but the bridge used in Purple Rain is in L.A. and it is called the Cesar Chavez Bridge https://www.loc.gov/resource/hhh.ca2902.photos?sp=2
DeleteThanks for this information. A real legend!
ReplyDeleteLove it, one I will visit some of these Awesome Purple Rain locations.
ReplyDeletewhere was the basement scene an prince's bedroom filmed? It looks very much like the basement of the house in MN
ReplyDeleteGosh I have no clue where it is. I usually just list the exterior locations unless it is an obvious interior.
DeleteThat was shot in a studio
DeleteI was watching this movie as a kid I really thought this was filmed in Los Angeles California going up there really knowing the Area but when in the movie they said they were in Minnesota Minneapolis got me confused😃😃
