 		Movie RL Locations
I found this here:
http://www.grimsociety.com/roadkill/dallas.html


"Logan's Run" Filming Locations - No self-respecting movie geek would find him-or-herself in Dallas without paying homage to the various sites used in the filming of the 1975 sci-fi classic "Logan's Run". A small boom in unique architecture here led filmmakers to choose Dallas and Fort Worth for location shoots of the futuristic action film starring Michael York, Jenny Agutter and Peter Ustinov. The huge Dallas Market Center, located alongside the Stemmons Freeway at Market Center Drive, served as the locations for the Great Hall, including "Arcade" and the lobby outside of "Carousel". The "Sandman Headquarters" was the former headquarters of Zales Jewelery (now owned by Mobil Oil), located downtown.
The one "Logan's Run" location that still looks the way it did in the film and is immediately recognizable are the Water Gardens in nearby Fort Worth. These unique fountains were portrayed as the "hydro-galvanic generator" for the "City of Domes". This unique 5.4 acre park is located between Houston and Commerce Streets, near the Fort Worth Convention Center.

 		Ive been toying with the idea that maybe there is a livecam on the net that shows Dallas Market Center. There are a few traffic cams.

http://dfwtraffic.dot.state.tx.us/cam-dbdallas.asp

But nothing that shows the center itself (that i could find).

My reasoning is this - If the Dallas Market Center is the location used for most of LR, including the arcade - maybe there is a sign there. Seems like a livecam would be a great way to show that sign. I dunno...total speculation.

 		Relive Shop
Good thinking Cronauer,

Does it say where they filmed the Relive scenes? I may be barking up the wrong tree here, but if there is a real world Relive Shop that may be where we need to make appointments!

 		There was no Relive in the film, but it was in the book.
In the book, Logan hides in a Relive shop after running from Rapid City, South Dakota. The shop itself is in Fredericksburg, Virginia, during a robotic reenactment of the battle of Fredericksburg.

 		I was thinking of doing a bulleted comparison of the book and movie, with character names, locations and important concepts. Does everybody think that would be worthwhile, or should we all just read that damn book already?

And yes, there was no Dome City in the book. It took place across the country, North Pole, under the ocean.... THe dome city was what they called the Compression of Logan's Run, to take it all and wrap it in a close vicinity so the movie would flow better. City, Below City, and Outside City.
