Cypress Mountain
'Windjammer' run (I think)
[49.395126,-123.206428]

This is *somewhere* on the Cypress Mountain ski slopes, not too far from the base. I think it was at the bottom of 'Windjammer', but I could be wrong.

Just up the trail from where the Scottish dwelling stood is the slope from the second flashback in the episode, where MacLeod asks his father, "Where do I come from?"

Looking for the candy store

This is a montage of locations showing Richie looking for Mr. Stubbs' candy store.

2015	In actuality, in most of these clips, Richie was asking random people on the street where the nearest McDonald's was. So they were all pointing him toward the McDonald's at the corner of Granville & Smithe, a block down from Nelson St.

Small city park

Oppenheimer Park
sidewalk [49.282378,-123.093846]
playground [49.282745,-123.093537]

Also in Season 2 Episode 8

Richie walks into the park from the southeast corner (Cordova & Jackson). The reverse shot, where he finds Mr. Stubbs playing chess at a picnic table, was actually shot on the lot of The Bridge Studios. The same corner of the park is seen in 'Revenge of the Sword' as Jimmy and Charlie walk north toward the playground.

The sidewalks have been changed since the episode was filmed; the activity centre was built in 2010. This is a satellite view from March 2004, the earliest clear image available on Google Earth.
