I get a big kick out of books set in my neighborhood, especially if they name-check places that I know. I'm a big geek like that. And I get an even bigger kick when I recognize places in movies and TV shows. The show "The Americans" is set in the suburbs of DC but shot in Brooklyn. When they need a remote, in-the-woods setting, they shoot in Prospect Park (Brooklyn's Central Park), which I know very well. There was a scene that was supposed to take place in Italy and they used the Brooklyn Botanic Garden as a stand-in.
