Such an underrated sequel…. I know the podcast Unloved Sequels are coving it this month and - The Academy museum of motion picture did a screening of My Girl 2 in 35mm on the 3rd August

This is such lovely article. I was sad to find that the location used in the movie no longer exists - it was a viewing platform/restroom building next to the the largest lake pit. It appears to have been demolished in the 90s. Thankfully the museum in the background is still around.

Thank you so much for reading! The architecture is so great, it’s a shame they removed any of it.
