Loving all the Grimm details. Looking for the location of the round house in The Three Little Pigs. It looks so familiar. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteHi, and thanks for the question. We have a tip on the geodesic home location. See my update on Episode 6: http://www.mysouthwaterfront.com/2011/12/grimm-episode-6-portland-filming.html
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this question has been answered somewhere but I just can't find it....what is location of Monroe's house?
ReplyDeleteAdele, post coming soon on this topic. Located relatively close to the south waterfront.
ReplyDeleteI found it after some trawling around on Streetview. Wow...it certainly looks different to the house featured in Grimm! I wonder when that beautiful rhododendron bush got cut down? Hopefully not when the location scout found it! ;)
ReplyDelete(Hmmm...actually I think it's a camellia bush.)
DeleteGreat blog, love being able to find the locations featured in Grimm. Thanks for all the hard work!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog!It's nice to have a place where Grimm fans can share filming location info.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone been able to figure out the exact location of Aunt Marie's trailer?It looks llke the general vicinity is in NW Portland near the Fremont Bridge.
When I was around the end of of NW 17th near the river there looked like a few possible lot type locations.
Thanks for the comment, zachy!
DeleteYes, I think you're close. The trailer is supposedly off Thurman by the Dockside Bar. Send me a photo if you find it!
On the subject of filming in your area...we watched the movie "Spiral" last night...have you ever seen it? Quirky and intriguing little indie movie starring Joel David Moore and Zachary Levi...all shot on location in Portland. :)
ReplyDeleteI simply LOVE the paint colors inside Nick and Juliette's home! Does anyone.have.any idea how I could find out the interior paint colors? Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have watched some movies and ads that featured South Waterfront. A pretty place actually, if only my television didn't suddenly blur! An urgent replacement soon!Allison
ReplyDeleteI just found this website. Weekends hubster and I love looking for Grimm spots as we go around doing our thing. Terrific to be able to come home and check if we were right. Thank you for maintaining this!
ReplyDeleteI am arriving in Portland on July 24th. I'm coming to visit the amazing locations I've only read about. I'm also hoping to visit locations where Grimm is filmed. What are the odds of actually seeing them shooting or seeing the actors? I love Grimm and can't wait to see Portland. Thank you for any help.
ReplyDeleteAugust 1st and 2nd? Old Town - China Town around the Ducks Store
ReplyDeleteThis is cool, Thank you! I look foreword to your updates. Oh and just for information, also filmed in and around Portland was Animal House, The Hunted, Into The Wild and Untraceable.
