Since launching Twin Peaks Blog in February 2018, I’ve enjoyed offering a place for like-minded Bookhouse Boys and Gals to share their discoveries.

One of my favorite Real Twin Peaks film locations in Washington state is Jack Rabbit’s Palace from Part 14 in season three.

The Rancho Rosa Estates film location tour wraps up with a scene from Twin Peaks Part 5. A group of five thieves (or punks if you’d prefer) attempt to steal Dougie Jones’ vehicle and get a rather enlightening surprise. Thanks to the Behind the Curtain footage from the Twin Peaks – From Z to A Collection, we…
