STORY & PHOTOS

Some of the funniest moments on "Arrested Development" have come courtesy of Tobias Fünke (David Cross). A couple of Tobias locations can be found on and near Venice Boulevard in Mar Vista, CA.

At 12320 Venice Boulevard, you'll find Robinson's Beautilities, a costume shop that Tobias and Lindsay walk past in the first-season finale:

A few feet down the street at 12310 Venice Boulevard, you'll find Sam Johnson's Book Shop, where Tobias does a reading from his book The Man Inside Me (which Lindsay attends):

Just around the corner is another location, as well: the Vineyard Christian Fellowship Coffee House, at 3838 S Centinela. Interiors of this coffee house were used when Kitty (Judy Greer) met with the Bluth boys to try to take over the company.
