The movie takes place in Southern California. Besides the specialized one on Dax's repossessed company car that solely says "Beautiful Evergreen State" and an Amrican flag, all the visible license plates on the cars in the movie are British Columbia ones, British Columbia where the movie was filmed.
The name on the building is Hope Springs Youth Center. The signs carried by the protesters spell the last word "centre", which is not the way Americans would spell it (the movie taking place in the US but filmed in Canada).
