Spotted a set from Tokyo Drift in L.A.
I know Tokyo Drift is ooooooooold news, plus the movie sucked áss, but I found one of the sets today purely by chance. I saw some weird markings on the asphalt of the parking lot behind Toys "R" Us in Glendale. When I got home, I checked it out from overhead by using Microsoft Live Maps.
Here is the aerial view:
Note the arrows indicating that traffic travels on the left. It's clear from the layout that this is a recreation of Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo.
Here is a photo of the real thing:

So if anybody wants to do some Tokyo drifting, this is at the Toys "R" Us on Los Feliz Blvd and San Fernando Rd.
Cool, I guess...
