Perhaps I am the urban boy of cow??

Sorry, I am kidding with you. I am, like Columbo himself, a francophile.

Perhaps we will get an answer from one of the several fans here who live in or near Los Angeles, and who are most familiar with the places where "Columbo" was filmed.

Clearly, such places include:

Barney's Beanery, in West Hollywood ("Ransom For A Dead Man," etc -- see the article in the Scrapbook area of this site, called "Columbo's Chili Habit")

"Train Town" in Griffith Park

The Hollywood Bowl ("Etude In Black")

Palm Springs Aerial Tramway ("Short Fuse")

Oh, and how could I forget the famous "Stahl House" at 1636 Woods Drive in the Hollywood Hills -- which appeared in at least 3 "Columbo" episodes.
