American Graffiti was filmed in both Petaluma and San Rafael, California, although the filmed was inspired by George Lucas' teen years growing up in Modesto, California.
Each year, in May, Petaluma holds a large American Graffiti Tribute and car show, so the map above was available that helped me locate the spots around town and nearby.
In October of 2013, I visited Petaluma, CA, and attempted to locate the present-day locations of many of the scenes in American Graffiti.
My favorite part of the day was being driven down Paradise Road, while watching the scene from the movie on my iPhone, and listening to Green Onions play on a CD!
