For this Vacant Peaks article, I’m taking a look at the FBI Office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as seen in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This scene, which marked the return of the long lost Phillip Jeffries, had a few glimpses without people. The “field office” was shot at the now demolished Cabrini Hospital once located…
In Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, there are two scenes that take place at the FBI field office located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

This final article in that series takes a closer look at the arrival of the Frogmoth at the girl’s bedroom. The interior and exterior scenes were shot in the same location as the “Goodnight…
In a previous article, I discussed the film location in Twin Peaks Part 8 on Showtime where a boy (played by Xolo Maridueña) and a girl (played by Tikaeni Faircrest) find a lucky penny near a gas station in New Mexico. The scene set in 1956 continues with the couple walking along a dirt path…
