Did you know the Mitchum Brothers have a connection to Frank Sinatra? Their home seen in Twin Peaks Parts 10, 11 and 16 on Showtime was once the home to “ol’ blue eyes” through most of the 1950s. Here’s a closer look at this multi-million dollar estate known as “Farralone.”
Wagon-Wheel Do-Nuts, a local doughnut shop in Twin Peaks, is described in the first draft of episode 1.001 (see this article on WelcomeToTwinPeaks.com for more on this location). The location was briefly seen in a deleted scene from season one where Deputy Andy Brennan and Lucy Moran pick up an order of doughnuts. I first visited…
I recently shared a comprehensive look at all of the exterior shots of the Palmer House in Twin Peaks. Two homes in Washington State were used in the series – one located in Monroe and one in Everett. I had the opportunity to visit the latter home following the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Fest.
The Palmer residence is one of the most iconic homes in Twin Peaks. For this Setting the Stage article, I’m taking a closer look at the exterior scenes from Seasons 1 and 2.
In Twin Peaks Part 7 on Showtime, there is an aerial establishing shot of Yankton Federal Prison in Sioux City, South Dakota. But like many things in Twin Peaks, looks can be deceiving. The real location used for this establishing shot is located approximately 1,388 miles to the east of the actual   minimum security federal prison…
In Twin Peaks Part 5 on Showtime, there is an establishing shot of the Pentagon at night in Arlington, Virginia. Similar to footage of Buenos Aires and Diane Evans’ apartment, this short clip is stock footage from Getty Images.
For the first time, the Festival of Disruption was being held in New York City on May 19-20, 2018. Since I missed attending the two previous events held in Los Angeles, California, I vowed not to make that mistake again. With tickets, hotel and airfare booked, I set off for Brooklyn, New York. Here is…
While attending the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Fest in Washington state, I visited several of the film locations from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The former Fall City Grill, located at 4050 Fall City-Carnation Road Southeast in Fall City, was the location of Hap’s Diner (see this article for more details about the location). This is…
In a Setting the Stage article, I shared a look at the exterior locations used for Big Ed’s Gas Farm. There are actually three different locations that were used in the series. This article focuses on the first location, which was featured in the Pilot Episode, Episode 1002 and Episode 2017.
Big Ed’s Gas Farm in Twin Peaks was a service station run by Big Ed Hurley. I’m taking a closer look at the exteriors of this location as seen in Seasons 1-3 of Twin Peaks. Interestingly, the location “moved” three times during the run of the show.
