On Location: Star Trek First Contact


I had so much fun with visiting the "Dirty Harry" film locations in San Francisco that I couldn't resist posting about other places I've been known for famous movie shoots. A couple of years ago, my employers sent me to Tucson Arizona where I got to visit the Titan II missile silo. The decommissioned military installation was used to convert an old Titan II 9 megaton missile replica into the spaceship Zefram Cochrane used for his first warp drive test in "Star Trek: First Contact." When I initially planned my visit to the museum I had no idea, but was giddy as a schoolgirl when I learned about the Star Trek connection. I'm not really a Trekkie......but I am a total movie dork. Enjoy.

On Location: Dirty Harry


When my wife wanted to take a trip to San Francisco, there were only two things on my mind. The first was seeing Alcatraz, and the second seeing some of the famous Dirty Harry film locations. As a movie junkie, how do you not visit a few locales where Harry battled Scorpio by the bay?
