To celebrate the 30th birthday of what is arguably the best thing to come out of 1985 -- the film "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" -- Los Angeles-based photographer Jared Cowan retraced Pee-wee's epic road trip to photograph locations from the movie and juxtapose them with what they look like today.

Those dinosaurs in the desert? Still there .

The biker bar where Pee-wee dances to "Tequila" (called "The Big Shoe Dance" in the script) after a gang of Satan's Helpers threatens to stomp, tattoo, hang and kill him? It's a Mexican market called Mi Tierra now.

Cowan told The Huffington Post that when he went into the store, he asked the 20-something-year-old manager if she knew about the store's place in Pee-wee's history.

"She had no idea," he said. "I said,' Theres a very famous scene that was shot here featuring Pee-wee Herman!' She didn't know."

You can go there -- it's in Santa Clarita -- just as you can go to most of the other locations from the film.

"I want people to see all these places and let them know that its pretty easy to go to them," Cowan said.
