from oj simpson posted in history by prof_improbable
Located in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles is the former residence of Nicole Brown Simpson.
At 12:10 a.m. on June 13, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were found murdered outside this residence.
Simpson's lawyers convinced the LAPD to allow O.J. to turn himself in for a suspected double homicide. Instead of willfully going to jail, O.J hopped in a white Ford Bronco with Al Cowlings and had a slow-speed chase during Game 5 of the Knicks-Heat Finals (the game was shown in a tiny box in the corner while the helicopter footage filled the screen).
On October 3, 1995, after a 252-day trial, O.J. Simpson was acquitted of the murder charges.
Today, O.J. is in jail on 12 other charges, including armed robbery and kidnapping, and serving a 33-year prison sentence.
The four bedroom, 3,700 sq ft. condo had its address changed to 879 S. Bundy Drive, and the house sold in 2006 for just under $1.7 million.

Located three blocks from the beach in the Venice neighborhood of Los Angeles, the Dude's cottage is one of a series of six on a quarter-acre lot that were constructed in 1928.
When The Big Lebowski came out in 1998, the area was much seedier (read: affordable) than it is today. The cottages were listed on the market in 2011 for $2,295,000.

The church also served as the location for the wedding of Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood in the ultra-cutesy and forgettable ending of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
No aliens were present at the ceremony. Or were they?...

In the music video for "It's Tricky", Run-DMC bust up Penn and Teller's three-card Monte scam in front of downtown L.A.'s Rialto Theater, although the joke is on them when Penn and Teller impersonate the group on stage in Japan six months later in front of a crowd who evidently can't tell the difference.
The historic Rialto on Broadway opened in 1917 and closed in 1988. The rumor in fall of 2012 is that Urban Outfitters is interested in the building for a retail store.
