Terminator Connection
I worked next door to Cyberdyne Systems and didn’t even know it. I always knew the building that was blown up in Terminator 2: Judgment Day was somewhere in Fremont, CA but didn’t know exactly where. It turns out that during all the years I worked at ePhones on Bayside Parkway, I was working next to the building that was featured in the movie. I only realized this when I watched T2 once again on DVD recently. I visited the site today and took some pictures.
Here’s the front of the building:
Here’s a still from the movie clearly showing the three-tiered portico of the building:
This is me and one of my sons in front of the old ePhones building (now empty) next door. The ePhones building shares the same form factor as the Cyberdyne Systems building. You’ll see that the door is similar to the one that Ahhnold comes out of.
I’ll blog some other time about another movie star who shot many movies in Fremont. *grin*

Wow. If I only knew that then… I always thought that building was in Fremont but a buddy of mine down in So Cal swears it’s in Simi Valley.
Hey ya DANIEL! Yep - it’s Mike from the ol’ ePhones Web Dev crew. Happened across your site - very nice. Hope all is well.

Hey Mike!
Yup, it was practically right under our noses that whole time. Nice to hear from you. I’ll shoot you an e-mail.
