    I've lived in Granada Hills ten years and never new. White Oak is just around the corner from me. I drive it everyday - It is one of me favorite streets.... NOW I know why

    Just before take-off in the bike chase, how do you know they were riding north on White Oak Avenue? Most other reports suggest/show south, and I would like to know before my visit. Thanks!

      There is a house at 10879 that has a hexagon looking type of window at its side. I based it off of that house. I asked my friend Owen to also look at it to see if he agrees.

      Well, you have the house number wrong, Chas (it’s 10869), but I agree that the “hexagon looking type of window” is a good marker. Here is something else that shows the boys are riding north on White Oak Avenue: If they were traveling south, the trees wouldn’t match the way they do with the screen capture and my photo. Specifically, if they were traveling south, the tree we would see on the corner would be the one in front of 10902 White Oak. That is a distinct tree with lots of trunks, including one that juts out toward the house. The tree in the background in the movie, on the other hand, has a much more “basic” look, matching the one in front of 10881 White Oak.And finally — and perhaps most telling — go back and watch the scene and pause when the camera is right behind Elliot and shows him from the back. (That is, the camera is facing the same direction the boys are traveling.) Well, there is a tree at the corner on the right side of the screen. It has a thick branch that juts out toward the street and then goes up. This tree still looks the same. It’s in front of 10878 White Oak.I don’t care what “the Internet” reports. This site’s information is correct; the boys are traveling north on White Oak.
