1. I think East of Eden is in the Midwest somewhere

Rebel w/out a cause takes place where the Griffith observatory is, I think it's L.A.

3. East of Eden and Rebel were filmed in LA , at least in part

but I think the books had one , or both set in Monterrey/Salinas area.

I'm probably wrong.

I have been a great deal of help, but don't thank me.

4. HOLLISTER - WILD ONE

There is an annual rally there of bikers.

I think East of Eden was set in the Salinas Valley - east of the Carmel area south of San Francisco.

Rebel was indeed set in LA - the Griffith Pk. Observatory provides a (frequently smoggy) view of the LA basin.
