Soo cool. They are televising Rocford again. David Chase the creator of Sopranos worked on Rocford and you notice most of the characters made cameos on Sopranos. Nice to see the old timers got more fame in their senior years. Santos, Loggia who always played a bad guy.
Thank you for,posting pics of the house.

It looks like the cleaners is still present. 11277 is visible above the door after the police are investigating and the bad guys pull in. Maestro cleaners is currently (as of July 2019) at 11275 Ventura Blvd and you can pull it up on a google map. But then the really cool twist is to look behind the building and there is a user photo uploaded by Matt Friedman which shows the back of the cleaners--it is nearly identical to when Jim and Angel searched behind the building.

That was my grandparents house and they paid them $120 per day to shoot the exterior. I always got to skip school and watch. Met most of the cast and James Garner was one of the nicest people I e ever met. Such great memories.

In trivia it said it was illegal for the military to engage with the police so I'm confused as to the National Guard and the police and Riot situations you've seen it on TV la
