David Lynch Leaves Me With More Questions Than Answers
My fellow Twin Peaks Blog author and close friend Vinnie Guidera was first to share the news with me – David Lynch had passed. I knew this day was inevitable as our time on Earth is limited. Nevertheless, the news of his death has left me with more questions than answers, something that would have…

Twin Peaks Prop – Rainier Beer Wildlife Plaques at The Roadhouse
I’d like to think the official beer of Twin Peaks is Rainier Beer.

Hap’s Diner in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me may not have offered specials but they did have an early version of a streaming music service. Instead of a jukebox like the one found near the entrance to the Double R Diner in Twin Peaks, there was a silver Art Deco machine behind the…
