Indeed it was: The Ridge, my neighborhood moviehouse in Vancouver, B.C., where I grew up and where "New Moon" was shot. (The first "Twilight" movie was primarily filmed in Oregon; the second two in Vancouver B.C. Yes, it's supposed to be Forks, Washington, but the filmmakers didn't shoot there.) The Ridge, which has been around forever, has a distinctively skinny lobby with a staircase on one side, on which Jacob and Bella sit. I think I've sat there too, and maybe even on a date, though not with a werewolf.
