      At Michelle's Donut House, Eddie does a Google search for "Judy gas station Melrose", but the gas station Judy worked at is on York Blvd, between Figueroa St and Mt Angelus Dr. This is in the Highland Park neighborhood of LA, about 30 minutes away from Melrose, and a very noticeably different neighborhood from Melrose.

    Although there's a romantic aspect, and although there are some laughs, this is really a drama. This poor schmuck is taken advantage of as he gets 15 minutes of fame he never asked for. He doesn't have much to begin with, and now he's lost even that. It's pretty depressing, to be honest! But it's a good story.
