Yeah Stars Hollow is a quaint but quirky town in CT  there's a gazebo in the town square, a main street with little shops and nice houses.  The people are really quirky tho but that's what lends it charm to the show.... of course the whole thing was shot on the WB lot but looking at your pictures it proves the studio got the look right.

I've had this feeling that you were a bit mad, young Karen!  ;)

For those who are still awake, that big brown monstrosity on the left is the old signal box (disused, as all the signals work electrically...when they feel like it!), but the building can't be demolished as it has 'listed' status...

So, in this derelict state, it proved a wonderful home for pigeons...which eventually became a problem, what with the mess, so all the pigeons were turfed out and the windows boarded up...

The only original fixture is the lattice bridge in the middle distance...it dates back to 1895 and makes some scary creaking noises as you walk over it!  :D

The sharp-eyed among you will notice there are no trains...yep, that's normal!  ::)

People always seem to want to get rid of old buildings and replace them with new ones, but I think the old ones add more character!  :)

Now allow me to exhibit a picture so tediously dull, it could peel paint from your walls...

That's right! I remember you mentioning that before. Yes, Pacheco is not far from W.C. at all! It mainly neighbors Martinez (they actually have the same zip code) and Pleasant Hill.

It depends on what you mean by sub-zero: It rarely gets Zero Fahrenheit here but it does every now and again. Zero Celsius (32 F), is really not too bad if you are dressed for it. 

Our house is about 100 years old (give or take) and is still fairly sound (needs tweaking-but what house doesn't).

I love Americana. It's a gorgeous town Catwoman - big tree lined roads etc. Also love the wood clad houses.

Luke your town lanes look great! All cosy and Christmassy.

I just moved a lot of my photos on photobucket into albums...

Here are my pics of Santa Barbara. I must confess I did not take the photos of the butterfly or the ones in the snow but I took all the rest.  I just love this city.

I would love to go and visit you but I really hate California. No offense. You should come here-we don't have snow at least one month out of the year.  :D ;D ;D  Ok, ok, We USUALLY don't have snow from April-Nov. And if you come for Memorial Day weekend, you can enjoy our Spring Fling or if you come AFTER, we MAY have the Big Dog in the water.

Yay! I know you know the area Davester. this was taken on my way to work last month. I pulled over, got out and took a quick one. It was nice & sunny that morning

  I never understood El Sobrante.  Never seemed like a town but rather like an unincorporated area between Pinole and San Pablo with a few houses and small businesses...

  Who covers the policing there?  CoCo Sheriff?  Pinole cops are treacherous...

most of it seems to be unincorporated & zig zags between Richmond too.

yup, it's the Sheriffs jurisdiction except where I live in Carriage Hills. we got Richmond PD & all Richmond services, it's 94803 El Sob zip and in the hills by Kennedy Grove but the city of Richmond claims it, is that a trip or what?

  It's crazy.  Increased funding for increased turf, I suppose...

  It's like when I lived in American Canyon - they didn't have their own police so the city government rented cops from Napa PD and, I think, Vallejo PD.  I'd get to see all the purdy designs on the different cop cars...

  Crockett has two resident deputy sheriffs (or is that "deputies sheriff"?) and I'm always seeing CHP cruising through here.  Rodeo was pissed that Crockett had two deputies and they had to beg for only one.  Well, I say they can have ours and I'll call them when I need one.  Hell all they do around here is enforce vehicle code violations.  It's not like it's really that important...

the borders are the wackiest.  but one of my pals is a Richmond cop and he said he'd cruise thru at night when he was on duty, but it's pretty safe here, not much crime. Rodeo only has 1 cop? and Crockett has 2, man...that's like Andy & Barney.

  Ha! Yeah, we need two cops, what with all the urban sprawl and it's 3,000 souls...

  We used to have alot of ex cons living here but registered sex offenders need not apply.  With the 2,000 foot rule thay can't live pretty much anywhere in town...

  It's funny I'll be at work and someone will come through shouting, "THEY'RE CHALKING TIRES!" and I'll see a quarter of the plant running outside to move their cars off the street.  It's comical...

;D that's funny.  well, we don't need no stinking badges to protect our families & property. we do have the right to bear arms or most anything else that kills  ;D    I think El Sobrante, Crockett, Rodeo are like metropolitan areas compared to Port Costa which is in your neighborhood.
