Have you ever visited movie/tv locations?

I also work right across from Luthercorp and right beside the Baxter Building from Fantastic 4.
So Vancouver is in the Amalgam Universe?
Not sure this counts but I've been up at Stonehenge while they were filming some documentary for Channel Four (I was up there with an acquaintance who was with the Roman reenactors.) Totally spoils the final effect when you see there's a bloke crouched behind one of the stones waving a bit of card in-front of a smoke machine.
Although Stonehenge is basically just down the road from me, I've only ever been past it in the car. I have been to Lacock though, both the Abbey and the village itself. Aswell as a few period drama's, several of the Harry Potter films have been filmed there. I've also been to London and Bristol where a few things have been filmed there aswell.
Pretty much. Just the other day I saw Captain America hitting on Wonder Woman at a bar. You'd think they'd be made for one another, but she went home with The Beast.I also work right across from Luthercorp and right beside the Baxter Building from Fantastic 4.

What are you doing to your cats?
"Here" being Baltimore, right?
Well, outside of sites that are tourist destinations in themselves (things like the Empire State Building in NYC or any of the monuments in DC, or Red Square in Moscow, or Victoria Peak in Hong Kong, or the Charles Bridge in Prague, or Monteray Aquarium in Monteray, CA (used in ST: TVH), or the Pike Place Fish Market in Seattle, or several locations in Italy - particularly in Rome - used for The DaVinci Code/Angels & Demons, not to mention Roman Holiday!), I have been to several more 'obscure' ones -
1. I have a relative who was in Driving Miss Daisy, which was shot here in Atlanta...so I have been to several spots used.
2. I have been to the house used in the opening credits of the 80's TV show Falcon Crest - of course, the house is actually in the Napa Valley.
3. I grew up in West Palm Beach, FL, and Burt Reynolds, who is also from there, used to use a lot of locations there in his movies. Watching some old Burt Reynolds movies, for me, is like revisiting my childhood.

I just remembered I saw the park bench in Forrest Gump. That wasn't intentional at all, I just happened to be in Savanah and it was pointed out to me.
Forgot one. I've been here:

I seem to remember visiting the mall in -- Dallas, I think -- where much of the original Lathe of Heaven was filmed.
Visited Vasquez Rocks years ago, while the nearby fortress set (seen in TOS "Arena" and several episodes of The Wild Wild West) was still standing.
Visited the MASH exterior set in Malibu Canyon twice, though neither time while filming was in progress. The first time there was a watchman on duty, the other time no one was there.
I spent a number of years in San Francisco and the Bay Area, so lots of filming locations there, including the Golden Gate and Bay bridges, Fort Point, the Presidio, Fort Baker and Sausalito, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the cross on top of Mt Davidson which features in a scene from Dirty Harry, as well as the Vaillancourt Fountain which Bono spray-painted graffiti on for the U2 concert documentary Rattle & Hum. I also lived for several years in the town where the concluding portion of the Bullitt car chase was filmed, and passed spots recognizable from that movie often.
I was once at the L.A. County courthouse in San Fernando and had to wait for a few minutes to enter the building because Stuart Whitman and some actress I didn't recognize were shooting several takes of a scene which had them walking up and going inside. The lettering on the door had been changed so that it was standing in for a sheriff's department office in Laramie County, Wyoming, if I recall correctly - the movie was a made-for-TV job called Beverly Hills Cowgirl Blues.
When I was a kid, the Chris George movie The Thousand Plane Raid did part of its filming at the Santa Maria Airport, which was mostly cool because I got to see a B-17 up close for the first time. They also had some odd bits of a B-24 which they'd pile up, set on fire and film from a distance to represent crashed bombers.
