    I worked on "Empire Records" and you nailed it! The exterior of the store was a bar called The Ice House on Water St. and was also a location for "Dawson's Creek"-where Joey worked- and yes, was torn down years ago. The roof scenes were partially location and partially on stage 4.

    Thanks for doing this!!! I have always wondered if the store was real or not. It looks so real, I can’t believe it’s not a real place sitting somewhere

    I went to find the Shop Around the Corner from You've Got Mail in NY and it had become a dry cleaners. Very disappointed. But I did bump into another fan who had the same idea. We both had our phones out taking photos/video of the location, zeroing in from two different angles and then stopped and notice each other. It was like the meet cute in a movie lol.

    Did you go inside rebellion? I went there this past summer and I noticed something odd that when you walk in the door over to the right is what looks like the same staircase that you see behind the register in the film. Now, although the pillars do not match up(which I would be shocked if they were actually able to move them), however the inside of the building was gutted and redone about 4 years ago. Although I am pretty certain that all of the interior was done at stage 4 I just thought it was an odd coincidence.
    PS- Dawsons Creek was filmed almost entirely in Wilmington.

    • @TheMagicGeekdom
      @TheMagicGeekdom  4 года назад +1

      That's interesting. We didn't actually end up going into Rebellion. I think the interiors are all on the stage, but now I'm sad we didn't go in.
