Jervistetch mentioned Playland At The Beach, in San Francisco, from The Lady From Shanghai.
There are, also, venues from Vertigo, which have disappeared.
-Ernie's Restaurant, where Scotty first sees Madeleine, changed hands, but remained a restaurant for some time. I'm not sure what it is, now. Since retiring, I don't get to that part of town often.
-Podesta Baldacchi, the upscale flower shop where Madeleine bought the bouquet, before going to view Carlotta's portrait, closed many years ago.
-The large building that served as Carlotta's hotel/rooming house, has been gone for decades.
****
Not from a film, but The Fox Theater, on Market St., fell to the wrecker's ball, in the late 60's. It was tragic! There was a massive effort/protest to save it. But, somehow, $$$$ seems to win. It's now a monolithic office, and apartment complex.

BTW ... Amyghost, it's great to see you again!!
