 The donut shop where Buck Swope encounters the robbery is Miss  Donuts on Sherman Way between Lindley Ave. and Reseda Blvd. Further  down the street is a church that used to be a boxing ring and rock  club, among other things, also between Reseda Blvd. and Lindley Ave.  The nightclub exterior scenes were filmed there. The Reseda Theatre,  the nightclub, the church, the dirt parking lot, the donut shop and  the storefront where the kid gets beaten up are all on Sherman Way  between Reseda and Lindley.
