Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Bear Shooters (1930) - Filming Locations
Filming Location: The Palms Neighborhood Of Los Angeles
The Gang goes camping!
While the Our Gang / The Little Rascals comedy short Bear Shooters features the kids setting off on an outdoor adventure, their journey actually began in a residential neighborhood in West Los Angeles.
The Motor Avenue and Mentone Avenue Alleyway
The then and now filming location photo above captures the exact alleyway where the episode's opening action takes place. Located between Motor Avenue and Mentone Avenue, just south of Woodbine Street, the camera angle looks directly north across Woodbine Street, anchoring this classic piece of cinema history right in the heart of the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Urban Development Of The Palms Neighborhood
Comparing the 1930 production footage to the modern day highlights the dramatic post-WWII housing boom and urban density shifts in West Los Angeles:
- Paving the Past: The rustic, unpaved dirt alleyway has long since been paved over for modern vehicular use.
- Residential Transformation: The original 1920s single-family homes and sprawling backyards that lined the alley in the film have completely vanished.
- The Rise of Apartment Complexes: In their place stand the multi-unit apartment buildings that define the the Palms neighborhood today.
Despite these significant structural changes, aligning the camera north towards Woodbine Street allows film historians and local history buffs to step directly back into the 1930 landscape of one of the Hal Roach Studios' favorite neighborhood backdrops.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Bouncing Babies (1929) - Filming Locations
Filming Location: Then And Now In The Palms Neighborhood Of Los Angeles
For fans of classic Hollywood slapstick and historic Los Angeles streetscapes, few intersections carry as much cinematic history as this corner in the Westside of Los Angeles.
The Intersection of Tabor Street and Motor Avenue
This historic then and now filming location photo above positions the camera at the corner of Tabor Street and Motor Avenue, looking directly north on Motor Avenue. Situated in the historic Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles, this exact street corridor served as a primary backlot-in-the-wild for nearby independent studios during the golden age of cinema.
Wheezer's Famous Light Bulb Gag in Bouncing Babies
This intersection is most famous as the central backdrop for the hilarious street gag in the classic Our Gang (The Little Rascals) comedy short Bouncing Babies. In the film, Wheezer is trying to cross the busy street, repeatedly stopping neighborhood traffic by shattering light bulbs directly into the path of oncoming automobiles. The loud, sudden popping sounds mimicked a flat tire, prompting a succession of frustrated 1920s drivers to pull over and inspect their vehicles for a blowout.
A Multi-Era Filming Location: From Hal Roach to Charlie's Angels
Because of its close proximity to the Hal Roach Studios lot in Culver City, this specific stretch of Motor Avenue was utilized across decades of film and television production. In addition to Bouncing Babies, classic film buffs and urban historians will recognize this intersection from several other major productions:
- Our Gang / The Little Rascals: Dog Heaven (1927)
- Charley Chase: His Silent Racket (1926)
- Charley Chase: Midsummer Mush (1933)
- Charlie's Angels: The classic 1970s television action series returned to this neighborhood fifty years later, choosing this exact spot to film scenes for the season one episode Target Angels (1976).
Today, while the surrounding area has evolved, the alignment of Motor Avenue looking north from Tabor Street remains highly recognizable, making it a premier destination for film history enthusiasts exploring the cinematic heritage of the Palms neighborhood.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Boxing Gloves (1929) - Filming Locations
The Scene Setup
In the Our Gang / The Little Rascals comedy short Boxing Gloves, rivals Joe and Chubby are hilariously vying for the affections of pretty Jean Darling. Both try to win her over by buying her a refreshing bottle of soda pop, but as always with the Gang, chaotic complications quickly arise!
The Historic Corner of Motor Avenue and Woodbine Street
The Hal Roach Studios production crew returned to their most trusted outdoor location to film these scenes: The intersection of Motor Avenue and Woodbine Street in the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles. This intersection served as a recurring setting for dozens of films across the Our Gang / The Little Rascals series.
3392 Motor Avenue: The Peoples Water Company Building
The central architectural anchor of this then and now filming location photo above is the historic building at 3392 Motor Avenue.
Constructed in 1910, this structure boasts a deep connection to the early 20th century development of the Westside of Los Angeles:
A Pre-Los Angeles Utility
Long before Palms was annexed by the city of Los Angeles, it was an independent town. This building originally served as the headquarters for the Peoples Water Company, the premier local water utility tasked with supplying water to both the rapidly growing Palms community and neighboring Culver City.
Surviving Footprint
While the surrounding streetscape has transitioned from a small-town rural area into a busy urban corridor, this 1910 landmark remains a vital piece of local history.
For film history fans and urban historians looking to dive deeper into the utility history of the area, the Culver City Historical Society features a detailed chronicle of this very location on page 3 of their archival newsletter:

The Plot Of Canned Fishing
In the Our Gang / The Little Rascals short Canned Fishing, Spanky and Alfalfa hatch a plan to skip school for a day of fishing, only to have their plans thwarted when they are tasked with babysitting Spanky's little brother, Junior.
A Historic Transition for Hal Roach Studios
This film holds a significant place in franchise history as one of the final productions filmed at the legendary Hal Roach Studios before the series moved to MGM Studios.
Filming Location: The Neighborhood Behind the Studio
For this production, the film crew ventured just a few blocks from the studio to film the backyard and neighborhood scenes.
- On-Location Backyard and Alley: A large portion of the movie was filmed in the backyard and adjacent alley of 9634 Farragut Drive in Culver City.
- Then and Now: Remarkably, the house remains standing today. While a structural addition now occupies part of the original backyard, the alley survives, and the original 3-car garage seen in the film appears to be intact.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Cat, Dog and Co. (1929) - Filming Locations
Filming Locations: Then And Now On The Westside Of Los Angeles
Most of this classic Our Gang / The Little Rascals comedy short was filmed on location at a single, iconic stretch of road favored by Hal Roach Studios for dozens of films in the legendary series.
The Motor Avenue And Woodbine Street Intersection As Filming Location
The intersection of Motor Avenue and Woodbine Street, tucked away in the historic Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles, served as a primary outdoor filming location for the series. This long-standing connection to the area began with the very first silent short in the series, Our Gang, all the way back in 1922.
By continuously returning to these exact streets and alleyways throughout the golden era of the series from 1922 to 1932, the filmmakers inadvertently created an amazing historical time capsule. Their work preserves a rare visual record of West Los Angeles when it still retained a rural, "small town" aesthetic.
Tracing the Missing Footprint of the Palms Neighborhood
Looking at these locations today, a side-by-side "then and now" comparison reveals a fascinating mix of architectural evolution and geographic continuity:
- Surviving Layout: The geographic footprint of the streets, curbs, and alleyways remains completely identical today to how it was laid out nearly a century ago.
- Living History: Remarkably, a few of the mature trees captured on film over 90 years ago are still standing along the property lines today.
- Vanishing Architecture: While the infrastructure remains, the building stock has dramatically changed. Only a tiny handful of the original 1920s structures seen in the vintage frames have survived modern residential development.
Today, this stretch of Motor Avenue stands as a premier destination for silent film fans looking to stand in the exact footsteps of cinema's earliest comedy pioneers.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Dog Heaven (1927) - Filming Locations
A Dramatic Topic For An Our Gang / The Little Rascals Movie
Dog Heaven features a uniquely dramatic premise for an Our Gang / The Little Rascals film: Pete the Pup, feeling abandoned because his pal Joe has a new girlfriend, contemplates his future. Beyond its storyline, the movie serves as a vital historical record of Los Angeles in the 1920s, as Dog Heaven was filmed on location throughout the city.
3563 Motor Avenue: A Lost Part of LA History
The filming location then and now photo featured above shows Joe standing in front of his new girlfriend's home, located at 3563 Motor Avenue in the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles.
This residence was a significant piece of local history:
- Deep Local History Roots: Built by the Tabor family in the early 1900s, the home was one of the area's original structures. (The nearby Tabor Street was named in honor of the family).
- Cinematic Legacy: The home was a popular setting in several movies made in the 1920s and 1930s and even appeared in the 1976 Charlie's Angels TV episode, Target Angels.
- The End of an Era: The family retained ownership of the home for over a century until it was sold to developers and demolished in 2018.
The Evolution of Motor Avenue
The filming location then and now comparison highlights the urban transformation of Palms in the early 21st century. Where a sunny, historic residential home once stood, there is now a seven-story apartment building. This new development has fundamentally altered the streetscape, giving this stretch of Motor Avenue a much denser, "canyon" aesthetic that significantly reduces natural light at the street level.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Dog Heaven (1927) - Filming Locations
Exploring Another Filming Location
In the Our Gang / The Little Rascals short Dog Heaven, Pete the Pup finds himself in a dramatic predicament. After a girl is pushed off a bridge into a lake by another dog, Pete heroically jumps in to rescue her. In a classic mix-up, Joe mistakenly blames Pete for the incident, only for a bystander to intervene and reveal that Pete was the true hero.
A Cinematic Mystery: Two Parks, One Scene
From a film production standpoint, this sequence is a fascinating "strange case." For reasons that remain unclear to this day, the scene was filmed across two different Los Angeles locations:
- The Bridge Incident: The girl being pushed off the bridge was filmed at Hollenbeck Park, located just east of Downtown Los Angeles.
- The Rescue: The footage of Pete rescuing her from the lake was filmed at Westlake Park (known today as MacArthur Park), situated just west of Downtown Los Angeles.
While it is a mystery why the production team split the scene between these two locations, the resulting footage provides a wonderful historic look at MacArthur Park during an era when it was a vibrant, welcoming destination for Angelenos.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Dog Heaven (1927) - Filming Locations
Woodbine Park In Los Angeles
The Our Gang / The Little Rascals short, Dog Heaven, concludes with the Gang searching the neighborhood for Pete the Pup. This final scene provides a rare look at a frequently used filming location for the series: The alleyway situated between Motor Avenue and Vinton Avenue, just west of Woodbine Park in the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles.
A Frequent Filming Backdrop
This specific alleyway was a staple location for the Our Gang / The Little Rascals production team during the 1920s and 1930s. Its recurring appearance in the series makes it a significant landmark for film historians and fans of classic Hollywood comedies:
- Love My Dog (1927): This location appears prominently throughout this early silent classic.
- The Pooch (1932): The alley serves as a key backdrop once again as the series continued to film in the Palms area.
For fans interested in how these historic locations look today, this alley serves as a perfect example of the "time capsule" nature of filming locations. By comparing the 1927 footage of Dog Heaven to modern-day photographs, you can see how this corner of Los Angeles has—or hasn't—changed over the last century.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Dogs Of War (1923) - Filming Locations
The Our Gang Kids Go To War!
The Gang and a rival neighborhood gang are engaged in full-blown, trench warfare!
As an early silent entry in the iconic Our Gang / The Little Rascals series, the 1923 classic Dogs of War features two distinct, fascinating acts:
- The Battlefield: The first half of the film drops viewers right onto the dirt battlefield as the neighborhood hostilities rage on.
- Mayhem At The Movie Studio: The second half shifts gears, showing the Gang running loose inside a real, working movie studio where they hilariously disrupt active productions before being chased off the lot.
A Culver City Neighborhood in the Making
The dramatic then and now photo comparison above shows the Gang fleeing a skunk that has somehow attached itself to Farina in one of the battle trenches.
Historically, this specific location choice provides an incredible archival look at a developing Southern California neighborhood. The shot captures the 8900 block of Carson Street in Culver City, California literally being constructed around the actors as the cameras rolled.
Interestingly, Charley Chase filmed his comedy short All Wet on this very spot one year later in 1924.
While more than a century has passed since the Hal Roach Studios production crew set up their equipment here, the cross-era continuity remains remarkable. Today's residents of this peaceful street likely have no idea that their everyday neighborhood was once the on-location battleground for a classic silent comedy landmark, filmed there over 100 years ago!
Behind the Scenes at Hal Roach Studios
The scenes of the Gang roaming around the movie studio were filmed directly on-site at Hal Roach Studios in Culver City, California - the very studio that produced the series. These scenes provide rare, invaluable views of the studio grounds and the permanent standing outdoor sets that are seen in so many classic Our Gang, Laurel and Hardy, and Charley Chase comedies throughout the 1920s and 1930s.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Fly My Kite (1931) - Filming Locations
Fly My Kite (1931): Our Gang / The Little Rascals Filming Locations
Fly My Kite is a standout entry in the Our Gang / The Little Rascals series. For film historians and fans of the franchise, the short's climactic final scenes are particularly notable because they were filmed on location in a large, open field off Overland Avenue in the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Then and Now: The Transformation of Palms
The filming location photo featured above documents the dramatic urban evolution of this area over the past century.
- Historical Resilience: Several of the original homes captured in the 1931 film managed to survive for decades, standing until the mid-2010s.
- Modern Day: Today, the open field where Fly My Kite was filmed is gone. The site has been redeveloped with several large apartment buildings, and the homes that were visible across the street in the 1931 and 2015 comparative photos have been replaced by a massive new apartment complex.
Why This Location Matters for Film Historians
The contrast between the original footage and today's landscape highlights the rapid urbanization of this section of Los Angeles in the early 21st century. While the physical site has been transformed, these historic images serve as a vital "time capsule," allowing fans to connect the classic Our Gang / The Little Rascals comedy with the modern urban environment of the Westside.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Free Wheeling (1932) - Filming Locations
Free Wheeling (1932): Our Gang Filming Locations Then and Now
Free Wheeling is widely considered one of the best Our Gang / The Little Rascals shorts, packed with classic slapstick action and extensive on-location filming. Released in 1932, it highlights the chemistry between stars Stymie and Dickie, as well as a charming early performance from Spanky.
The Iconic "Little Rascals Taxi"
One of the most memorable contraptions in the entire series is the Gang's homemade taxi. The film's plot kicks into high gear when the "engine"—a mule—gets drunk and runs away. In a desperate attempt to keep the taxi business going, Stymie ties the taxi to a passing truck, leading to a wild, unforgettable ride through the neighborhood.
Filming Location: The Palms Neighborhood
The filming locations for Free Wheeling are situated in the historic Palms neighborhood on the Westside of Los Angeles. Many of these streets were used as a recurring backdrop for dozens of Little Rascals films.
The Free Wheeling Climax: Overland and Rose
The movie’s climactic finale features the runaway taxi "free wheeling" down a very steep hill on Overland Avenue.
- The Original Scene: The taxi famously crashes into a haystack located at the corner of Overland Avenue and Rose Avenue.
- Then and Now: Aerial imagery from 1928 to 2025 shows that the vacant lot where the haystack sat has remained largely undeveloped. Today, that spot is part of a strip mall parking lot (built in 1985).
- Find the Spot: If you visit 3300 Overland Avenue and stand in the parking lot directly in front of the entrance to Unit #103, you are standing at the exact historic site where the taxi landed!

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Hi'-Neighbor! (1934) - Filming Locations
Snobby Rich Kid Moves Into The Neigbhorhood
In the 1934 Our Gang / The Little Rascals classic Hi'-Neighbor!, the neighborhood is turned upside down when a wealthy newcomer moves in. After snubbing The Gang, the "snobby rich kid" flaunts his shiny toy fire engine, winning the affection of Wally’s girlfriend. The resulting challenge—a race down a steep hill in a homemade fire engine—remains one of the most memorable moments in the series.
Filming Location: Palms Neighborhood In Los Angeles
The scenes at the rich kid's home were filmed on location in the historic Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles.
- 3510 Glendon Avenue: The house used as the rich kid’s residence still stands today.
- Historical Integrity: Unlike many other filming locations in the area that have been demolished or significantly altered, this residence remains virtually unchanged, serving as a perfect time capsule for fans of The Little Rascals.
Why This Location Matters
The house at 3510 Glendon Avenue offers a tangible connection to the golden age of Hollywood comedy. It is a rare example of a site that has resisted the modern apartment development boom in Palms, allowing visitors to view the exact backdrop where this iconic movie filmed in 1934.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Honky-Donkey (1934) - Filming Locations
A Living 'Little Rascals' Time Capsule in Culver City
Standing at the intersection of Bagley Avenue and Venice Boulevard, looking south into the vibrant downtown core of Culver City, California, you might think you are looking at just another busy intersection. However, to a film historian, this exact spot is an almost perfect, living time capsule.
This historic Culver City location looks remarkably similar to how it appeared on film over 90 years ago in the 1934 Our Gang / The Little Rascals movie, Honky-Donkey. If you look closely at the architectural layout today, the historic continuity is stunning.
The Historic Culver Hotel (Background)
Farthest away from the camera lens stands the iconic Culver Hotel. As a beloved local landmark for over 100 years, this historic building looks exactly the same today as it did when it first opened its doors in 1924. It served as a grand backdrop during the classic Hollywood era and remains a centerpiece of downtown Culver City architecture.
9400 Venice Boulevard (Mid-Ground)
Positioned mid-way through the frame, sits 9400 Venice Blvd. Though it is now partly obscured by a 1975 structural addition, this was one of the very first buildings erected in the area, dating all the way back to 1910.
While it originally opened its doors as a local bank, the mid-20th century brought a change. For decades, it has been occupied by its current tenant, Armand's Discount Fireplace and BBQ Company.
9401 Venice Boulevard (Foreground)
The building closest to the camera is 9401 Venice Blvd, constructed in 1915. Aside from a modern coat of stucco, a few sealed-up windows in the rear, and a slight alteration near the roofline, the structure remains structurally identical to how it was captured on film in this 1934 Our Gang / The Little Rascals short.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Love My Dog (1927) - Filming Locations
Our Gang / The Little Rascals: Exploring The Westside Of Los Angeles
The silent Our Gang / The Little Rascals movies serve as a magnificent time capsule of 1920s Los Angeles. Because of the series' heavy emphasis on on-location filming, these shorts provide an authentic look at the city as it existed nearly a century ago. The 1927 short, Love My Dog, is a perfect example of this cinematic preservation.
Where Did The Little Rascals Live?
If you have ever wondered, "Where did the Little Rascals kids live?", the answer lies in the historic Palms neighborhood on the west side of Los Angeles. Many scenes from Love My Dog—and much of the series—were filmed within a two-block radius of the intersection of Motor Avenue and Woodbine Street.
Filming Location Then and Now: Woodbine Street
The "then and now" filming location photo featured above highlights a scene from Love My Dog featuring the mean dog catchers walking west on Woodbine Street, between Motor Avenue and Vinton Avenue.
- A Living Time Capsule: Remarkably, the trees visible in the background of the 1927 film are still standing and thriving in the modern-day photo.
- Nature's Resilience: Despite the extensive urban construction and development that has transformed the Palms neighborhood over the decades, these historic trees serve as a rare, living connection to The Little Rascals era.

Exploring 1929 Los Angeles Area: Noisy Noises Filming Locations
Noisy Noises (1929), one of the final silent films from the classic Our Gang / The Little Rascals series, serves as a remarkable time capsule. The short film provides historians and movie buffs with rare, authentic views of the Los Angeles and Culver City, California, area as it appeared nearly a century ago.
The Lost Pacific Electric Railway Station
The then and now filming location photo featured above captures a rare glimpse of the Culver City - Palms Pacific Electric Railway station, showing a train actively picking up passengers. This historic transit line once connected the area directly to the beaches of Venice.
- Then: The station was strategically located on Venice Blvd, just west of the Bagley Avenue intersection.
- Now: The station and the historic train tracks have been removed, with the space now repurposed for additional traffic lanes on the busy Venice Blvd corridor.
By comparing the 1929 footage to the landscape of modern-day Culver City, Noisy Noises offers a vivid look at the rapid urban evolution of the Los Angeles Westside.

In a memorable scene from the classic Our Gang / The Little Rascals comedy short Pups Is Pups, Wheezer is seen standing at a street corner on the industrial edge of downtown Los Angeles.
The Intersection of East Temple Street and Center Street
This then and now filming location photo above captures the northwest corner of East Temple Street and Center Street. For film historians tracking early Hollywood streetscapes, this intersection provides a fascinating look at the architectural and civil evolution of the area:
- Historical Alignment: At the time of filming, East Temple Street was known as Turner Street.
- The 1920s Structure: The industrial building framing the shot stands at 749 East Temple Street and was originally constructed in 1929—just a year before the Hal Roach Studios production crew arrived to film the short.
Then and Now Structural Changes
While the core 1929 structure has miraculously survived nearly a century of neighborhood development, a close look at the "then and now" comparison reveals two major alterations to the immediate landscape:
- The Sealed Doorway: The most notable architectural difference on the building itself is the historic corner doorway featured in the film, which has since been completely sealed and bricked over.
- Street Widening and Sidewalk Reduction: Over the decades, as Los Angeles optimized its downtown industrial corridors for heavy vehicular and truck traffic, both East Temple Street and Center Street were significantly widened. This civil engineering change resulted in a substantial loss of the original sidewalk space where Wheezer stood in 1930.
Today, 749 East Temple Street remains as a key destination for urban archaeologists and classic cinema enthusiasts looking to discover the real-world locations utilized during the golden era of silent and early sound comedy shorts.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Small Talk (1929) - Filming Locations
Our Gang / The Little Rascals Filming Locations In Culver City
As the very first "talking" movie in the Our Gang / The Little Rascals series, Small Talk holds a significant place in film history. For fans of the franchise, the short is also a valuable cinematic time capsule, featuring several scenes filmed on location.
Historic Culver City: The Old City Hall
The film provides a rare look at the side of the historic old City Hall building in Culver City, California, specifically along Duquesne Avenue.
- Cinematic Legacy: This same building famously appeared in the 1932 Laurel and Hardy comedy County Hospital and the 1934 Laurel and Hardy comedy Going Bye-Bye!, which captured fantastic views of the structure's front entrance.
- Then and Now: While the original building was demolished in the mid-1990s, the site’s history remains intact. Today, a new City Hall building occupies the location, with a portion of the original footprint repurposed into a public outdoor plaza.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Spook Spoofing (1928) - Filming Locations
Little Rascals Filming Locations: A Living Time Capsule Of Los Angeles
Beginning with the franchise's very first silent film in 1922, the producers of the iconic Our Gang / The Little Rascals series chose the historic Palms neighborhood on the Westside of Los Angeles as the filming location for the Gang's adventures.
This specific Los Angeles location was selected for two major reasons:
- Proximity to the Studio: The neighborhood was a convenient 10-minute drive from the Hal Roach Studios lot where the series was produced.
- The Quintessential "Small-Town America" Look Of The Area: At the time, Palms featured a distinct small-town charm, complete with tree-lined streets, modest commercial storefronts, and beautiful wood-frame homes that mirrored working-class neighborhoods across the United States.
Historic Filming Locations for Spook Spoofing
Most of the outdoor, on-location scenes for this classic 1928 comedy short movie were filmed within a tight, one-block radius around the intersection of Motor Avenue and Woodbine Street.
In the then and now filming location photo featured above, the cast is seen standing on the 3400 block of Motor Avenue (west side).
While the architectural evolution of the Westside of Los Angeles over the last century is stark, one prominent landmark connects the past to the present: Palms Elementary School. Originally constructed in 1925, the historic schoolhouse is still standing today and can be spotted in the far distance of both the frame from the movie and the modern photograph.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Teacher's Pet (1930) - Filming Locations
Our Gang / The Little Rascals Los Angeles Filming Locations
Widely considered the standout film in the Our Gang / The Little Rascals series, Teacher's Pet is a classic comedy. The plot follows the mischievous gang as they attempt to sabotage their first day with a new teacher, Miss Crabtree, only to discover she is as kind as their beloved former teacher, Miss McGillicuddy.
Filming Location: Venice Blvd and La Cienega Blvd
The then and now filming location photo above captures Miss Crabtree (June Marlowe) dropping off Jackie Cooper near the school.
- 1930s Infrastructure: This scene was filmed at the intersection of Venice Blvd and La Cienega Blvd. At the time, a large viaduct for the Pacific Electric Railway's Venice Short Line ran directly down the middle of Venice Blvd, providing a fast and efficient transit route from downtown Los Angeles all the way to Venice Beach.
- Then vs. Now: The urban landscape has shifted dramatically since 1930. Today, driving that same route to the beach takes significantly longer than it did nearly a century ago—a stark example of how Los Angeles traffic congestion and urban development have evolved.
Why This Location Matters for Film Historians
Teacher's Pet offers more than just comedy; it serves as an invaluable visual record of Los Angeles transit history. For fans of classic Hollywood, identifying these real-world locations provides a unique window into the daily life of 1930s California, long before the era of modern superhighways.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - The First Seven Years (1930) - Filming Locations
A Once-Beautiful Los Angeles Neighborhood
The First Seven Years is a significant entry in the Our Gang / The Little Rascals series, notable for being one of the early "talkie" films that relied heavily on outdoor, on-location shooting. The production captured the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles during a time when the area still maintained a charming, small-town atmosphere defined by tree-lined streets and single-family homes.
The Transformation Of A Neighborhood
Following a 1950s rezoning initiative by the City of Los Angeles, the character of the Palms neighborhood underwent a dramatic shift. The original homes from the early 1900s were gradually demolished to make way for multi-family residential units, fundamentally changing the architectural landscape of the district.
Then and Now: 3415 Mentone Avenue
The then and now filming location photo featured above provides a stark look at this urban evolution, focusing on the site of a scene featuring Mary Ann Jackson.
- 1930: The location was a beautiful front lawn at 3415 Mentone Avenue.
- Present Day: The original lawn has been paved over to serve as a parking lot for an apartment building constructed in 1968. Even the mature tree captured in the film—a hallmark of the neighborhood’s original greenery—was removed in the 1970s, leaving only a small patch of grass to mark where it once stood.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - The Kid From Borneo (1933) - Filming Locations
An Encounter With Uncle George
In the Our Gang / The Little Rascals classic The Kid From Borneo, a carnival comes to town, sparking a hilarious adventure. When Dickie and Spanky receive an invitation to visit their Uncle George, who works at the carnival, the Gang accidentally mistakes the "wild man from Borneo" for their uncle. This misunderstanding leads to a chase sequence through the streets of downtown Culver City, California.
The 9300 Block of Culver Blvd
The then and now filming location photo featured above highlights a significant section of the north side of the 9300 block of Culver Blvd.
- Architectural Heritage: Located at the corner of Culver Blvd and Main Street, this building is one of the oldest in the city, dating back to 1914.
- A Cinematic Landmark: Due to its central location, this structure has appeared in countless movies and television episodes over the last century.
Other Movies Filmed At This Location
This historic Culver City building is a frequent star of TV and movie scenes. Here's just a few:

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - The Love Bug (1925) - Filming Locations
The Historic Palms Neighborhood In Los Angeles
The 1925 classic The Love Bug is a standout entry in the Our Gang / The Little Rascals series, particularly for its extensive use of on-location filming. For film historians and enthusiasts, these shorts serve as a "virtual time capsule" of 1920s Los Angeles.
Many of the key scenes in The Love Bug were filmed within a two-block radius of the intersection of Woodbine Street and Motor Avenue in the Palms section of Los Angeles.
If you were to walk these same streets today, the transformation is staggering:
- Then: A sleepy residential area characterized by open space and a small-town atmosphere.
- Now: A dense urban landscape where nearly every inch of land has been paved over or repurposed for modern development.
A Living Past Connection: The Woodbine Street Trees
Despite the major urban expansion, one remarkable piece of history remains. In the film's closing scene, the Gang is seen running down Woodbine Street, just a block east of Motor Avenue. The trees visible on the left side of the frame in 1925 are still standing today—over 100 years later.
Their survival is truly a miracle of preservation. Even when a new, high-density apartment building was constructed on the adjacent lot just a few years ago, the developer (or the city) made the conscious decision to keep these historic trees standing. It is a rare, living testament to the neighborhood's past.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - The Old Walllop (1927) - Filming Locations
A Look At Downtown Los Angeles In 1927
The Our Gang / The Little Rascals series filmed quite a bit on location, especially during the 1920s and early 1930s. A constant for the series was the choice of filming locations: usually the Palms neighborhood on the Westside of Los Angeles, and those locations are fully covered here on the website.
But for The Old Wallop, the script called for the Gang to end up on an under-construction skyscraper, high above city streets, so the natural choice of filming location was Downtown Los Angeles.
Borrowing a page from Harold Lloyd's playbook, the film crew built a few girders on the roof of the building located at 939 South Broadway and by the use of clever camera-work, created the illusion of the Gang high above the city streets.
The Laurel and Hardy Filming Location Connection
Laurel and Hardy's 1929 silent movie Liberty is famous for it's ending scenes that have Stan and Ollie high above the city streets on a skyscraper under construction. Sound familiar?
Those scenes in Liberty were filmed the exact same way, on the exact same roof at 939 South Broadway in Downtown Los Angeles. But, Our Gang / The Little Rascals did it BEFORE Laurel and Hardy!
In the then and now filming location photo above, we see Farina dangling high above the city, and the building in the background is 1023 South Broadway. Both buildings are still standing today and a great stop on any tour of Los Angeles filming locations.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - The Pooch (1932) - Filming Locations
The Pooch (1932): Our Gang Filming Locations
In the classic 1932 Our Gang / The Little Rascals short, The Pooch, Stymie faces a desperate race against time. After the local dog catcher captures his beloved dog, Petey, Stymie must scramble to raise $5 by the end of the day to save him. In a stroke of luck—or perhaps answered prayers—a gust of wind delivers the exact amount right to his feet.
Filming Location: The Palms Neighborhood
The filming location photo featured above highlights the alley between Motor Avenue and Vinton Avenue, just south of Woodbine Street in the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles.
- Then (1932): When the movie was filmed, this area offered a distinctly small-town atmosphere, characterized by open spaces and charming wood-frame houses dating back to the early 1900s.
- Now: The neighborhood has undergone a complete transformation. The historic single-family homes are long gone, replaced by modern apartment buildings, and nearly every inch of available land has been built upon or paved over.
A Rare Survivor: Palms Elementary School
Despite the excessive urban development, one landmark remains a constant. If you look closely at the then and now comparison photo above, Palms Elementary School is still visible at the end of the alley. It is the only structure from the 1932 filming that still stands today, serving as a tangible link to The Little Rascals era.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Your Own Back Yard (1925)
Filmed Entirely On Location
Farina is on the outs with the Gang, so he and his pet lamb wander around the neighborhood to amuse themselves.
This 1925 Our Gang / The Little Rascals movie, Your Own Back Yard is notable for two reasons:
- Allen 'Farina' Hoskins carries almost the entire film - at just 5 years of age!
- The film's abundant use of on location filming is today viewed as an invaluable time capsule of both the Palms neighborhood on the Westside of Los Angeles and the early days of nearby Culver City.
A Familiar Intersection
In the then and now filming location photo above, we see Mickey Daniels, having just schemed Farina out of an ice cream cone.
The building in the background is 3392 Motor Avenue, at the corner of Motor and Woodbine Street, built in 1910 and still standing today.
This intersection has appeared in literally dozens of Our Gang / The Little Rascals movies, including:

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Your Own Back Yard (1925)
A 360 Degree View Of 1925 Downtown Culver City
About halfway through Your Own Back Yard, there's a scene where Farina and his pet lamb get stuck in a revolving door. After several revolutions they finally emerge and wander out into the middle of the street, extremely dizzy!
The filmmakers conveyed Farina's dizziness by an ingenious scene where we see Farina and his lamb standing in the middle of the intersection of Culver Blvd and Main Street in Culver City while the camera revolves around 360 degrees, giving us amazing views of this historic intersection as it looked in 1925.
There's plenty of local landmarks to see including:
- The Culver Hotel
- The Adams Hotel (now replaced by the Culver Steps development)
- Pacific Electric Railway tracks running down the middle of Culver Blvd
- The 3800 block of Main Street between Culver Blvd and Venice Blvd
The then and now filming location photo comparison above shows Farina and his lamb standing in the middle of the Main Street and Culver Blvd intersection with the Culver Hotel in the background.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Your Own Back Yard (1925)
A Quiet Culver City Street
Just as Farina has recovered from his dizzy spell, he wanders over to the sidewalk where another neighborhood kid starts teasing him.
Apparently while he was stuck in the revolving door, a piece of his pants got caught on the door and the threads holding his pants up were completely unraveled!
The Street That No Longer Exists
The then and now filming location above shows Farina at the Van Buren Place side of 9426 Washington Blvd. This building is one of the oldest still standing in Culver City, built in 1921. It started out as a bank (as shown in the frame from the movie) and in more recent years has been occupied by several different shops, along with periods of vacancy between tenants.
When Culver City underwent it's first phase of urban renewal in the early 2000s, this block of Van Buren Place was closed to traffic and became part of the pedestrian mall that extended to the Washington Blvd side of the block as well.
