For the 500th article on Twin Peaks Blog, I’m exploring the iconic Chili John’s restaurant in Burbank, California This location played a small part as Pop’s Diner in the incredible Part 8 from Twin Peaks Season 3 on Showtime. Despite the dining room being closed due to the current pandemic, I took a quick look…
I’m continuing a look back at historical articles from the now dormant Dugpa.com. This fan site was first launched in 1999 and provided a wonderful meeting spot for Twin Peaks fans for years. I’ve been given permission to archive some of the stories from the site including this one published on February 8, 2008. It contains…
Twin Peaks Blog would not exist without the incredible websites that were around long before mine. Like the Bookhouse Boys, I’m now continuing the work started by those before me. I’ve mentioned the defunct InTwinPeaks.com that sparked my hunt to find all of the film locations. Another essential site launched in 1999 was Dugpa.com. A…
Lately I’ve been spending time identifying a variety of props found in Twin Peaks. I love the thrill of the hunt and the endorphin rush when I finally find a match. This effort to identify all of the props has turned into a team sport which is fantastic! After I published an article about a Con-way…

On a whim, I searched “CCM Jersey 1990s” since the CCM logo is clearly visible. I instantly found two matches, with one…
After visiting Frame of Mind Pictures in Glendale, California to see the David Lynch-themed art exhibit, I quickly stopped by the film location that served as the Buckhorn Police Department exterior in Twin Peaks. This historic building is now home to the Los Angeles Police Museum and it appears a few times throughout Season 3.
Now for a deep cut from the Johnson house. You may remember I previously identified the sunflower napkin holder in their kitchen. I return to this spot with details about a prop placed on top of their cupboard.
During a much needed, week-long vacation in Southern California, I dropped by Frame of Mind Pictures in Glendale to check out a new art exhibit celebrating milestone anniversaries for David Lynch’s The Elephant Man, Wild at Heart and Twin Peaks. Curated by Master Framer Tommy Ardolino, this free exhibit is on display through June 12, 2021. I spent…
I love finding new things to share. This one happened by accident as I was desperately searching for something completely unrelated when I stumbled upon three Currier and Ives prints found at the Double R Diner in Seasons 1 and 2. These three pieces join other previously identified artwork including Norman Yeckley’s “Spring Formal” and…
While recently searching for the Con-way Central Express (CCX) mug prop in various scenes taking place at the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Station, something caught my eye in Sheriff Truman’s office. We all know Truman’s name is reminiscent of the 33rd President of the United States, Harry S. Truman. It appears that his love of presidents…
