Hey, It's That Place!

A location that you just know you've seen in five other TV shows or movies. To locations what Hey, It's That Guy! is to actors.

Filming at a landmark is a separate trope when the scene is supposed to take place at that specific landmark (e.g. the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, famous courthouses), but it counts here when a landmark is used generically (e.g. any Vancouver landmark).

Sub-Trope of California Doubling, Kirk's Rock might be the single most-used That Place in American television, and the various BBC Quarries serve a similar role in the UK.
