Pink Cadillac
While walking after breakfast yesterday, I learned something about Fernley at what is currently the All Points Grill, a roadside diner that previously was a taqueria and has been under different names during its history, which apparently goes back for a while.
Now I've heard of the movie Pink Cadillac, but I've never seen it. Now that I've read the plot summary, it does make sense that they might have stopped here in Fernley, particularly if they are trying to make their way across US-50.
Again, I've never seen the film, but it seems plausible that the phone booth prop mentioned on the plaque was located where the little shelter with the OPEN sign is located by the current restaurant.
One never knows where places you know will pop up in a movie. Apparently quite a few movies have had scenese shot in the Marysville-Yuba City area where I grew up, although the only one I thought I knew about was Citizens Band, which I think had a scene shot at what was then the Motel 6 on CA-99 at Bridge Street. (A motel that is now a Days Inn, which shows what that brand has become.)
