Waking up in Portland –Elk Fountain, SW Main Street between 3rd and 4th Avenues, Portland, Oregon. The actual sculpture has no rider - Van Sant painted one of his production assistants green, and placed him on top. The engraving at the base was changed to "The Coming of the White Man," as a reference to a Washington Park monument known, in the 1970s and early 1980s, as a marketplace for those seeking late-night male company. 原版的雕塑是没有骑在上面的人的,那个是后来Gus自己画上去的
The restaurant where Mike and his friend Scott (Keanu Reeves) hang out –213 SW Broadway, Portland, Oregon. It was a Chinese restaurant at the time but it'sBailey's Tap Roomnow. 他们在波特兰的那家小餐馆,许多人聚在一起讲自己的初夜。当然现在也不复存在了。
Mike is looking for his mother at the hotel where she used to work –Thunderbird on the River Hotel, 1401 N. Hayden Island Drive, Portland, Oregon. Closed in 2005, the hotel was destroyed by a fire on September 2, 2012. Many thanks to John Denny for pointing out this location. Mike找寻他母亲曾经工作过的宾馆。也是重遇德国人Hans的地方……
