Wow, this is awesome I love Papa Bear's house in Transplant. Do you know the general episode/season filming dates... I'd be so interested in that.

You are on a roll!! I'm wondering if you can find the iconic theater from Lost! But every post you make is just incredible I’ve actually been looking for it. I haven’t tracked it down yet but when I do I’ll definitely post it here!

Season 1 Episode 2 “Web Sight” was filmed at a strip club in New Westminster, British Columbia... 😳 Or at least the establishing shot of the “Paramount Dance Club” was. goo.gl/maps/7NXi4jBxmov9bqWc7Fun fact: I once contacted them asking about their negotiation with studios because a lot of Canada-filmed shows have used/use their setting (one example is the TV adaptation of IT). I didn't ask for contract details but expressed curiosity in how night shots are filmed during their busy hours.
Needless to say I never got a reply, but it was worth a shot.

Hey everybody, I’m pretty sure the painting they get trapped in was filmed in in the flower garden in Stanley Park, Vancouver.
I noticed this actually by chance. I took a trip there a few years ago and while watching this episode noticed how familiar it looked and could tell where it was pretty quickly.
I’m not absolutely positive, but I’m pretty sure.

I stayed at the Hotel Vancouver for one night in July 2000. Hotel Vancouver's roof was the filming location for the ending of "Twin." "Twin" premiered in August 2000. I didn't know for many years later that they filmed So Weird in Vancouver, and definitely didn't know until the last few years that they filmed at the Hotel Vancouver! On this same trip, we also went to the Vancouver Aquarium and Stanley Park.

I am looking into these a bit more because I am going to Vancouver soon (!!!!!) and I am going very in-depth about the filming locations for "Rebecca."
As discussed earlier in the thread, the filming location for the exterior of the auditorium does seem to be the PNE Forum, though the building says Garden Auditorium in the show.
With that being said, the interior of the PNE forum is massive, and I really think they may have filmed Molly's performance of "Rebecca" and the rest of the interior scenes at the Garden Auditorium which is now being used by CircusWest. If you look at the seats on the left side of the linked picture, they match the ones behind Fi as she's sitting down to hear Molly sing.
I also think the exterior of The Garden Auditorium was used as the movie theater in "Lost." Look at the columns in this picture and compare them to the shot of the marquee of the Princess theater right before they show Kamilah on the ground.
The good thing is that these buildings are located right next to each other, and the Atrium Inn where they apparently filmed the exterior of the hotel in "Rebecca" is right up the street.
ANNND I just found the church from "Lost!" St. David's Anglican Church (2475 Franklin Street), and it's close to the Garden Auditorium. And I'm pretty sure Kamilah's house really is right up the street (2435 Franklin Street). It's painted differently but it's gotta be it.
This has me thinking that the "Rebecca" house has to be nearby, too. I always thought it looked like it could have been in the same neighborhood as Kamilah's house. Ahhhhh, I gotta find it!

Well, y'all, I found Rebecca's house! Definitely has been spruced up a bit. It's 2728 Pandora Street, two blocks from where Molly performed "Rebecca."

Still trying to find some filming locations before my trip! I think the park in “Tulpa” is Kitsilano Beach. If you search Kitsilano Beach basketball court on Google, there is a 360 video from the basketball courts and the buildings on the road and general landscape definitely look like from the show. I can’t link to the video for some reason. There’s a playground there, too, but it absolutely had to have been updated since the episode!

I was looking to see if I could easily follow Kamilah's entire route home in "Lost" on my upcoming trip. I did manage to find the other locations on the route, but they are in North Vancouver and not near her house/the church.
The flower shop location is More than Bikes Market. I know this because you can see Europe Lock & Key up the street when Clu is talking on the phone, which is still there. The toy store/art supply store seems to be a place right up the street from Europe Lock & Key called Mo's General Store.
I'm not sure that the little building that said St. George Station with the fountain in front of it exists anymore. The red roof building you can see behind it is one of the Shipyards buildings like Tap & Barrel. I think it may have been demolished to put in The Polygon Gallery.

It's been a couple weeks since I was in Vancouver, so I wanted to let you all know how it went.
I was so surprised with how easy it was to hit up some of these locations. You can get to Kitsilano Beach (where "Tulpa" basketball courts are located) on a 10 minute bus ride from Burrard Station, which is in Downtown Vancouver. You can also get there on a ferry from the Aquatic Centre and Granville Island.
Right up the street from Burrard Station is Hotel Vancouver. On another bus from Burrard Station, you can head out to the PNE Forum area (all of the "Rebecca" and "Lost" locations I mentioned). It's a thirty minute ride. I wasn't planning on seeing the hotel that they stayed at in "Rebecca," but we passed it on the bus and it was less than 100 yards up the street. The PNE grounds are open to the public, so it's easy to get up close to the two buildings I mentioned. Playland, where "Escape" was filmed, is next door but it was closed when I went. The church from "Lost" and Rebecca's house are a short walk away through a very pleasant neighborhood.
Yale Saloon, though located in Yaletown, is way closer to the Hornby Street ferry terminal than the Yaletown terminal (we learned this the hard way, haha).
You can get to the outskirts of Stanley Park by bus, too, and Vancouver Aquarium is about a 10 minute walk (though a bit uphill).
The only place I would think carefully about before visiting (that I went to) is VanDusen Botanical Garden. You're going to have to take a combo of the metro and a bus to get there (plus walk a little), and it's not really close to any of the other locations. We squished it in at the end of the day with a couple Ubers.

The pool scenes in Memory were filmed at Steveston Recreation Center on Moncton Street in Richmond, BC.
According to Google the outdoor pool (where Fi and the gang spend a majority of their scenes) is at 4151 Moncton Street behind the martial arts building and the Community Center is at 4111 Moncton Street.

Escape's rollercoaster looks a lot like Final Destination 3 one. Not sure where either was filmed besides CANADA I’m having trouble confirming but it looks like the carnival setting in Season 1 Episode 5 “Escape” is an amusement park called Playland.
Googled "Final Destination 3 rollercoaster location" and the top result was Vancouver's Playland. So, I think it's safe to say, your two suggestions check out.
