One of my fave spots in Santa Monica is the carousel where Paul N & Robert R first meet in that film (http://www.flickr.com/photos/8146112@N06/3060621050/in/set-72157610135076650/). I last rode it just a few months ago...and smiled thinking of The Sting. ('Twas a 20 minute walk from where I lived for a dozen years before moving to the PacNW.)
