Monk-related question

In an episode of Monk, there's this church where T.K. and Stottlemeyer were going to get married. In that scene, an explosion occurs among a pile of gifts right after Randy finishes playing the steel pan. Where was this filmed? TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 21:39, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Looking at screenshots posted online, I see St. Brendan Church in many of them. It is at 310 South Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco. Does that look correct to you? 75.136.148.8 (talk) 16:16, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Yep! That's the one. I even looked up the Wikipedia page for it. TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 01:09, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

At that address in San Francisco, Google Maps shows a car-repair place. But at the same street address in Los Angeles is St. Brendan Catholic Church, Los Angeles. That would be the one. I believe that Monk, like many TV shows, often filmed scenes in Los Angeles although it was set elsewhere, in this case San Francisco. --142.112.220.50 (talk) 22:04, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
