For years after this movie came out, every time I drove by that gas station, I would always have to share my useless trivia with anyone with me that a Hollywood movie with Tim Robbins filmed a scene there.
As a long time resident of Grand Junction, Colorado, it’s fun to see our little area pop up in popular culture.
In The Lucky Ones, (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0981072/),
Rachel McAdams, Tim Robbins and Michael Peña’s characters are in a road trip and can be seen in our area here:

3) https://youtu.be/uRVNQq4uFv0 The Colorado National Monument
4) https://youtu.be/uRVNQq4uFv0 In the Glade Park Area, maybe the Delores Canyon area, (or possibly the campground on the Colorado National Monument?)
5) https://youtu.be/hSfV6UAmw90 The highway near Glade Park and a hokey tornado scene (because anyone who lives here knows we don’t have tornadoes around here!)
