Yalecrest Drives Me CrazyPosted by kirk in Salt Lake County , Salt Lake City , Provo , Ogden , newsletter topics , historic districts |
In a follow-up to our latest Heritage newsletter featuring some of the fine films we can recall filmed in historic locations, we’ve had some feedback on Drive me Crazy. Released in 1999, it was filmed in the Yalecrest neighborhood of Salt Lake City at 1764 and 1756 Hubbard Ave. right during the time of the demolition/building of the now famous Hubbard House (also known as the garage-mahal or the fire station).
As Lisette Gibson of 1764 Hubbard tells it, “Melissa Joan Hart and her mother lived in our house and cute Adrian Grenier lived next door. The producer’s goal was to find two, 2-story houses spaced close together where the teenagers could look and talk through the upstairs windows. It was a wild 10 days with a lot of filming inside and out (plus a sound stage), and it even included them building a huge tree house in our apple tree out back (briefly seen in the last shot). We have a lot of stories (good and bad) from the filming.”
I agree with Lisette that it was a fun film with a lot of great shots of SLC, Ogden High School, Sugarhouse Park, and Provo Canyon.
