Feature film in RGV - pre production - location scouting

As we continue with pre production for the project and I keep seeing & walking  more and more locations I continue to be reaffirmed that we have a excellent array of locations to choose from (we as all filmmakers) in the Rio grande valley.
One location we are pretty excited about is a college that has some beautiful buildings
Today we were able to walk quite a few of the locations we weeenconsidefong for our story

When location scouting factors to always keep an we for;
Times of low traffic vs high traffic (pedestrians and cars)
Nearby trains/ airports/ ambulances/ fire departments
Know the logistics of parking especially if it's a big company and or calling for a lot of extras
Electrical considerations
a/c eléctrica Hunms considerations
Craft devices set up
Holding room, talent holding room, hair and make up/ room, mobile production office room availability
And if exteriors -  sunlight direction at x time of day



If ever in the Rio grande valley area (cities of Brownsville harlingen mcallen Edinburg mission) I'd be happy to lend a hand to find the right look for the sake of the story.

For the love of the craft,
