Chris Bradley (Raymond Laine) returns to the city of Pittsburgh after three years
of drifting and working odd jobs around the country since his discharge from the
U.S. Army. Rejecting moving back in with his mother (Dorrit Chase) and father
(Roger McGovern) and not wanting to return to the family business of manufacturing
baby food, Chris meets and lives with Lynn, (Judith Ridley) who works as a model
in local TV commercials. Lynn finds out that she's pregnant and does not feel that
Chris would make a responsible father or husband, watch it and find out what happens!

Below are the THEN and NOW
shots of the filming locations used
in George Romero,
There's always Vanilla aka The Affair. The now shots are taken
accordingly during our recent visit
to the place (2007) while the then shots (1972)
are the film grabs from the movie. This
is a direct visual comparison of how
the filming locations have changed over
time. Some places and buildings are
now totally unrecognizable due to massive
development and area progress while
some have undergone the opposite direction
towards deterioration and decay. Some
places, however, have stayed intact
as they were, unaffected by the passage
of weather and time.
The order below is the same order
from the beginning to the end of the
movie. If you can provide further information
or help me locate the missing links,
it will be greatly appreciated. These
are all my personal observations and
any form of constructive criticism or
informative suggestion would be most
welcome.

We recently had an e-mail from Doug Brendel, who has been researching Skybus
for over 2 years and was surprised to see that Skybus was in a movie.
"I took (the below right photograph) at the North Station platform (SKYBUS)
back in May 2009. It's a exact match to your (the above location)"
Thanks Doug for helping us update the website. The below left photograph is how
the Skybus looks now (2009).
