location needed for filming

[VObserver]

howdy fellas.

i have been scouting locations for some time for the film and decided this may be a good place to group think it out loud so to speak. I have a punch list of locations we need but for now i'll focus on one at a time until we get something do able. feel free to pm me or email me at douglas@nerdpictures.net if you have access to something or know someone who does. So here goes.

loc#1-diner/restaurant interior.

looking for something that can replicate or represent the inside of Piccadilly in the oil center circa 1966. We can use the exterior of the Piccadilly but shooting inside is a 100% no. Shooting will take about two hours and we could even do it before or after hours of operation. I don't think we are going to use any actors rather just capture the ambiance of the restaurant in an artistic sense. Again it doesn't have to visually match the inside of Piccadilly just visually convey the idea "we are in a place that you sit down and eat in 1966".

Who told you no? Or is it a technical issue of some kind? Just asking because I have family in a high corporate position in Piccadilly [nationally, not local].

Did the Black guys have a place like the Keg or LYbrary that they hung at??? BTW Doug, my S-IN-L's old roomie played the big White dude in Glory Road and if you want I could call him for you---He was "BIG DADDY"---James Oliver!!!

Spoke with the manager on two occasions and in each one I got a no so fast I couldn't even get a name. He said corporate wouldn't allow it. Maybe "if I know a guy" I dunno

I am still looking for some white guys. I got a few hits on a casting call I put out last year bit we weren't ready to roll it like we thought we were. So yeah I'm curious about this one you call "big daddy"

Check out the Palace Cafe in Opelousas. Still looks like it did in the 60's.

I think Mel's Diner on Johnston still has the great 50's diner look that may be an option. I haven't been in Bisbano's in years but that might also be an option.
