Los Angeles, California - The real Gilligan's Island - Vague Recollections

The outdoor scenes on "Gilligan's Island" were filmed on a little island in Echo Park in Los Angeles. I went there in 1980 and intended to cross the little arched bridge so I could walk on the same ground trod by Gilligan and his friends. Alas, sinister looking men were on the island eyeing the obvious tourist, otherwise known as prey, who suddenly lost interest in seeing the island up close. It's the only time I ever got a picture of people who were planning to mug me. [Teresa Fisher, 03/09/1999]
