The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Factual error: Charlie was at Mayview State Hospital typing by the window. In the not-too-far distance, the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning is visible. Mayview was located in Bridgeville, PA which is about 15 miles away, so The Cathedral shouldn't be visible. (Pittsburgh's terrain is hilly - not flat enough to see very far). (01:33:40)

Trivia: When Brad was telling his friends he got jumped by some kids, Patrick asked, "Where, Schenley Park? Patrick asked Brad's friends, "Do you guys know about Schenley Park?" People who are not familiar with the park may not know if his implied reference to homosexual activity was true. Schenley has been long-recognized as a gay "hook-up" place. Gay male prostitutes "cruise" around the park. Some men drive around with their car door OPEN - anyone can jump in to hook-up. It's also a joggers' park. (01:10:57)
