Lee and his fiancée The Waterfall Building, 1540 West 2nd Avenue, Vancouver Travel Tips: Used in many episodes, The Waterfall Building was where you see Lee with his fiancée Gianne in the flashback sequences in Black Market. Parking is an issue--there is a gravel pay lot just across from the building that is best. There is also, appropriately, a Starbucks nearby!

This episode has two locations. 1. Cylon Occupied Caprica The Waterfall Building, 1540 West 2nd Avenue, Vancouver Travel Tips: The Waterfall Building made for a great Cylon hangout, as well as Sharon/Boomer's Caprica apartment, in Downloaded. Kara and Roslin also lived here (Roslin also visited the doctor in this complex). Anders and Barolay were on the roof on the east side. Parking is an issue--there is a gravel pay lot just across from the building that is best. There's also, appropriately, a Starbucks nearby! 2. Underground Parking Garage BC Cancer Agency, West 10 Avenue, Vancouver (torn down)  Location Notes: The underground parkade where the explosion and debris all fall down on Anders was shot at the parking garage underneath the BC Cancer Agency. This building was torn down shortly after shooting and replaced with a new facility. The crew was unable to use gunfire in the garage, because it would have been too loud for the rats they bred for testing in the building above. Loud gunfire would have disturbed the breeding cycle and they would have been without rats for a while for their research. Non-guns, which just create a small muzzle flash, were used and the gunfire was put in later. Kent said that this was one of the stranger stories from his entire career as a location manager!
Nuked Caprica Forest Capilano Park, 3735 Capilano Road,
North Vancouver Travel Tips: Park in the Cleveland Dam parking lot. You'll be able to see 'The Lions,' the mountains used as the 'Gates of Hera' in the Kobol arc from there. Cross the Cleveland Dam bridge (a site from 'The Plan') and you'll see a path on the left leading up. Walk up the path and right about where it begins to turn you'll see a wooden post with a small, yellow sign on it. Enter the woods here (there's an obvious path). Screen matching is difficult in this park, so the photos above are similar at best. We do believe we have some clear matches for the Kobol arc. :)
This episode has two locations. 1. New Caprica City Go to No. 8 and Blundell Road in Richmond, BC, and follow Blundell west until it ends. GPS coordinates: 49.156829, -123.043334 Behind the ScenesBelow are photos of the area off of Blundell Road, dressed as New Caprica City for several episodes including 'Lay Down Your Burdens part II.' Photos are copyright Maurice Woodworth and are not to be re-used without his written consent. Location Notes: This location can be difficult to find. Thanks to Bart McLeroy for the photos! He found the location by putting the coordinates above into his GPS. It's now an industrial area, but it is possible to see some sand if you look closely. 2.

Screen-matching is very difficult in this park, but we believe we've been successful with a few in the Kobol arc. :)
