I can’t get enough of vintage Snoqualmie Falls postcards, especially when I learn about a long-forgotten company in the Pacific Northwest. This Plastichrome postcard Smith-Western Co., Inc. of the 268-foot waterfall in Snoqualmie Valley, Washington was taken by Western Ways, an aerial photography company once located in Corvallis, OR-E-GON.
The year 1990 was a banner year for director and artist David Lynch. In April, his show with Mark Frost, Twin Peaks, debuted on the ABC Television Network. In May, his film Wild at Heart won the Palme d’Or at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival. On Oct. 1, Lynch graced the cover of Time Magazine. Here is a…
Following the news that Charlotte Stewart will be joining the Twin Peaks Conversation with the Stars on Friday, Oct. 17, 2025 at the Uptown Theatre in Napa, California, I revisited her memorable scene as Betty Briggs in Part 9 from Twin Peaks: The Return.

One of the more iconic images from Twin Peaks: The Return is seen behind Gordon Cole’s desk at FBI Headquarters in Philadelphia, PA. The massive framed photo of a nuclear explosion recently sold for $45,500 at an auction of David Lynch’s personal items presented by Julien’s Auctions and Turner Classic Movies. While it was way out…
This year, Fright Rags, the leader in officially licensed horror apparel and accessories, re-released popular designs inspired by Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks for the show’s 35th anniversary.

As a follow-up to the deep dive into the Twin Peaks Morgue scene written by Harley Peyton for Twin Peaks episode 1.003, I’m looking at another publicity photo from my collection. This image of Albert Rosenfield (Miguel Ferrer) and Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) is unique in several ways. We never see this exact exchange in…
The music of Twin Peaks was my gateway to the town I’ve loved for more than three decades. Years later, I discovered the magicians who transformed Angelo Badalamenti’s works into the sounds I adore. One magic maker is Lori Eschler who worked as a Music Editor for the first two seasons of the show and on…
An iconic landmark of Snoqualmie Valley, the 268-foot Snoqualmie Falls in Washington state has been the subject of countless postcards for more than 125 years.

As a child, I loved going to the local Drive-In Movie Theater in Columbus, Ohio. I saw so many films from the comfortable of my parent’s vehicle while hearing the film’s audio broadcast from a bulky metal speaker attached to the car’s window.
