A fun place to go if you’re ever in Georgetown is the location of the concrete stairs prominently featured in the film. 

I’m not sure how to get there because I went after a Violent Femmes show in ‘99 at the university and I was totally off the hook at the time. It’s definitely a surreal experience and I would recommend going at night. It’s been a bit of time since I’ve been there but as far as dwindling shooting locations go, this would be a tough one to get rid of.
