In a previous Setting the Stage article, I examined the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department’s exterior as seen in Season 1 of Twin Peaks. This time, I’m taking a closer look at how the building exterior was shown in Season 2.
I woke today to news Pamela Gidley, the actress who played Teresa Banks in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, passed at the age of 52 on April 16, 2018. I’m sad I never had an opportunity to meet her. Like Special Agent Chet Desmond, I was captivated by her eyes. I can understand why David…
The music of Twin Peaks has played an important part of my experience with this place both wonderful and strange. So imagine my excitement when a co-worker (and fellow vinyl record enthusiast) informed me about two Twin Peaks releases for Record Store Day on April 21, 2018. Here’s a recap of my afternoon adventure in central…
This Setting the Stage article is the first in a three-part series about the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department’s exterior. Originally, I wanted one story containing all the exterior shots of the Sheriff’s Department. After analyzing the captured images from Seasons 1-3, I realized I needed three different articles. This first story focuses on the Pilot…
The Vacant Peaks series captures fleeting glimpses of buildings, sets, props or details from a place both wonderful and strange. The series builds off a page found on the former InTwinPeaks.com website. The first article in this series visited the Fat Trout Trailer Park from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This time we visit the…

Ever prepared, Special Agent Albert Rosenfield presents Cole with a photo of Mount Rushmore. While examining the photo, he remarks, “There they are Albert – faces of stone.” But did you know…
Twin Peaks Part 8 on Showtime opens with Ray Monroe and Mr. C driving. after leaving Yankton Federal Prison. Unlike the 1989 comedy-drama that inspired the title of this article, Ray and Mr. C are on their way to the Farm. I stumbled onto the location where this scene was filmed by accident. I had…
The “Setting the Stage” series continues with a look at Josie Packard’s bedroom inside the Blue Pine Lodge. The scene with Josie quietly humming is one of the first scenes in the Pilot Episode of Twin Peaks. Her bedroom, however, was not often seen during seasons 1 and 2.
The Utility Pole first seen at the Fat Trout Trailer Park in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me has fascinated since I first watched the movie in October 1993. Perhaps that’s because it played a part in my favorite two-minute scene in Twin Peaks. Or it could be because I got to see the real utility pole…
My love letters to the Fat Trout Trailer Park continues with the start of a new series called “Vacant Peaks.” The now closed InTwinPeaks.com website inspired this series. There was an article on the now defunct site that showcased empty rooms in Twin Peaks. I love the scenes and moments without people. These fleeting images…
