Don't think the gold mine episode was filmed in Truckee - just didn't look right to me. Remember the show Everwood with Treat Williams? It was filmed here in Utah - and it was so fun to try and identify the locations they used for each scene - got to be quite a local pastime! (BTW - Treat Williams is married to a gal who I was best friends with when we were both growing up in Truckee!)Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04466709417592027635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-83410202080371289852011-02-18T18:47:26.219-08:002011-02-18T18:47:26.219-08:00I live on the east coast, and I have to agree with...I live on the east coast, and I have to agree with Annonymous.

My big pet peeve right now? I was raised in Venice...NOT VENICE BEACH! The city is NOT named "Venice Beach" and never was, there is no such thing! Yes, there's a beach IN Venice, so I suppose if you're actually laying ON the beach in Venice, you could say you're at "Venice Beach", but now I'm actually seeing people calling it "Venice Beach, California". No, no, no! haha! Thank you for letting me vent! I grew up just a mere 7 miles from Beverly Hills, near Santa Monica. I think people outside of CA think EVERYONE is like the people in Bev.Hills (snobby,rich,famous)..nope! Its an area surrounded by ordinary tract homes in ordinary neighborhoods.I lived in a "Leave it to Beaver" area. OH my there are such stereotypes..never thought that much about it before! And Bonanza? Alot of it was filmed right over the hill and down the road from me, in Thousand Oaks, just 50 miles from L.A. Same with Little House on the Prairie,Gunsmoke,etc. <br />CarolCarolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-15393260768161100472011-02-18T14:47:47.954-08:002011-02-18T14:47:47.954-08:00Thanks for the info...

Mountains?? The only thing around here that might resemble a hill or mountain would be a freeway overpass or fly over!! <br />By the way I agree about that nut job Phillip! He needs to go!

I used to live in Reno and the notion of getting down from the Ponderosa and up to Virginia City over those grades by horse---no way.

I hate these shows that make people think that everyone that lives in Orange County is rich and beautiful. One only needs to drive around the housing tracts near Disneyland to know that that is a work of fiction! I now live in the high desert and hate going to the OC because of all the snobby people who try to live up to the image.

I live near Norfolk and on a good day with NO, NONE, traffic or accidents or weather it takes no less than 3 hours for me to make it to the outskirts of DC. <br />Maybe there are not enough interesting stories in a area that is realistic?<br />Bo in Suffolk.vaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-26300331048174656672011-02-18T09:12:38.111-08:002011-02-18T09:12:38.111-08:00It's funny, I feel the same way about Hawaii 5...It's funny, I feel the same way about Hawaii 5-0 as I live in Honolulu. I've decided that the show not only ignores the accuracy of the place, but they make the "mistakes" on purpose--almost making a joke of it. For instance, this week's show featured a bunch of bad guys in black ski masks. Where in Hawaii could you buy them, at least without raising a warning flag? And they, too, can instantly cross the island w/o it taking any time, but then, I see enough of traffic, if I had to watch it on tv, I'd probably change the channel. And yes, not everyone surfs here either!JoAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16725295327088235909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-53143625894900314762011-02-18T09:11:54.588-08:002011-02-18T09:11:54.588-08:00I was wondering the same thing about the distances...I was wondering the same thing about the distances.
