Where Louden's house is at

Okay I was watching the movie last night and it dawned on me his house is in Peaceful Valley, where Benny & Joon was also filmed and their house is a block down from their street he lived on. When he goes outside and runs, you see the edge of the Maple Street Bridge and then I looked at the street on googlemaps on street view and it was there but that light post you see in front of Louden's house, that was just fake I think because it's not there in real life.
What's funny is in B&J, where Joon has her break down on the bus, it takes place under that bridge and Louden's house is right next to the park that is under the bridge.

I just thought it was cool and it also surprised me because how can I have not ever noticed if I have been to the neighborhood many times just to see the B&J house and I have driven on that street Louden's house is on? I think you do see the house in the background when Aiden Quinn gets out of the El Camino and tries to run up to Joon who was placed in the ambulance after her breakdown. But it's hard to tell which house you were seeing because you only see the bottom of it.

I think you could be right. The bus stops when she has the mental breakdown right under that bridge. If you want the address it is (according to 80's movie rewind) 1509 West Main Street. By the way, you probably know this but the house in Benny and Joon is at 301 N. Cedar - aka 801 W. Water - right on the corner of Water and Cedar (the chainlink fence is gone) but it still looks almost the same. The automotive shop is at 5404 North Market. All these addresses are on her id when she shows it to the cop, and in her psyche file. I saw the milk bottle cafe from the outside but not sure if the interior of the diner is the same cafe. Do you know? I don't think it's Dolly's which is a rumor. Sorry to get off subject of Vision Quest.

That 80's movie rewind can be found here and has tons of locations for Vision Quest. By the way, the tavern where Madonna sings is the Big Foot tavern up on Division near the Y. Haha. Here's the link.... http://www.fast-rewind.com/locations_visionquest.htm

I live in Spokane too.
