I attended IU Bloomington (and was a bike rider) when the movie was filmed. The dad's car lot was just a few blocks from my house and I biked a lot of the places that the main character, David, rode in the movie.Much of the campus, including a scene outside the IUB library (made of limestone from nearby Oolitic quarries), is featured prominently. Nostalgia fodder after I graduated. However, don't look at the TV show for a sense of Bloomington. It was largely filmed in Athens, Georgia. Didn't the organizers of Code4Lib 2007 mention that? :-) On Tue, Mar 23, 2010 at 9:43 AM, McDonald, Robert H. <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Thanks everyone - we feel really honored to be hosting next year's event > here in Bloomington (a classic college town - please see Breaking Away if > you have never seen it - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078902/) and we look > forward to making it a wonderful time for everyone. > > Thanks again to our other host proposals from New Haven and Vancouver.
