Chaska School of Beauty - "Drop Dead Gorgeous" Filming Location - Chaska, MN

Ok, so the Chaska School of Beauty doesn't exist like the above still from the film suggests, but the businesses around it do. I looked closely; they used the old building that American Family Insurance and Chaska Dental were in. The building used in the film was demolished and a new site was built in the same spot with the same businesses in tact. The photo below was taken in September of 2014. American Family Insurance can be found at 2638 Shadow Lane in Chaska, Minnesota.

Divine Redeemer Hospital - "The Cure," "Drop Dead Gorgeous" & "Grumpy Old Men" Filming Location - St. Paul, MN

Sometimes I visit locations and they are the same as they were in the film and I get very excited! Sometimes I visit locations and they are torn down, which is the case in the Divine Redeemer Hospital. This hospital was used in at least three different movies. This location was used in the film "The Cure," as shown in the two stills above. "Drop Dead Gorgeous" filmed their hospital scenes here as did the hospital scenes at the end of "Grumpy Old Men."

It saddens me that it's gone. Well, most of it is gone. The bulk of the hospital was torn down in 2012. All thats left is this administration building shown in my image above. It was taken in September of 2014. The address is 724 19th Avenue North in South St. Paul, Minnesota.

Stearns County Courthouse - "Mighty Ducks" Filming Location - St. Cloud, MN

The Stearns County Courthouse was used for the courtroom and court steps scenes in the original "Mighty Ducks" film. The courthouse address is 725 Courthouse Square in St. Cloud, Minnesota. The courthouse did not allow cameras or cell phones into the building during my visit so I couln't take photos of the interior. However, I did confirm the steps seen in the above still are in this courthouse. Below is an exterior shot I took of the courthouse in September of 2014.

Ardmore Village - "Drop Dead Gorgeous" Filming Location - Lakeville, MN

Ardmore Village trailer park in Lakeville, Minnesota is the location used for the home of character Amber Atkins in the 1999 film "Drop Dead Gorgeous." In the above still from the film, Amber (Kirsten Dunst) is standing on the road next to the trailer park. This road is Highway 23. Below is the same spot in September of 2014.

The above still shows the exterior of Amber's home. Below is the same spot in 2014. The approximate location is 212 Cleopatra Drive in Lakeville.

How did I find the trailer's location? The above still from the film is an interior shot of Amber's home. If you look out the window, you can see the trailer park's main office building WAAAY in the back. The below image I took is standing approximately where the women would have been in the above still.
