   Back in October, the girlfriend and I had a meal at the Paradise Beach Cafe in   
   Paradise Cove in Malibu, which is where Rockford's trailer was parked.   
      
   Then and now: https://ibb.co/pB4ZX0DP   
      
   It was also where the cover for the The Beach Boys' "Surfin' Safari" album was   
   shot   
      
   https://ibb.co/Jw85hNPw   
      
   And Paradise Cove can currently be seen in Amazon's Bosch-verse show BALLARD.   
   It's where the lead character lives in one of the world's most expensive   
   mobile homes. Mobile homes in the park next to the Cafe routinely go for more   
   than $1 million.
