For those of you who have been to Southfork or Dallas

Something hit me the other day, and it made me think of all of you:

There are certain aspects at Southfork Ranch, and certain filming locations around Dallas that made me say,

"WOW! This is it! This is where it happened."

Are there any places you've been that make you say, "This is where it really happened!"

I visited Los Angeles in my early 20s when I was even more crazily obsessed with Knots Landing, as it had only recently gone off air in the UK.
We paid a lovely visit to the Palos Verdes estates, south of Redondo Beach, and drove round the area they used for that famous opening helicopter shot. I think this is the same beach where Gary and Val take Lucy to the sea when she came to visit.
It had a lovely feel about it, with lovely views over the Pacific Ocean, and I even drove past the spot where I thought Sid's car went over the cliff.... I remember because there were a group of people starting out to sea who were whale-watching and took great pleasure in telling us this was the best spot to see migrating whales.


I just kept looking down at the drop and wondering how Sid could have survived that fall...

It had a lovely feel about it, . .

Yes! I know what you are talking about. The feel of a certain place.
For me, it's the Fort Worth Stockyards.



Whenever I'm there, I think:
"This is where Ray and Jock sat."
"This is where they set up the cameras."
"This is where the film crew ate lunch"

You are right that some of these places have a good feel to them.

I must say I had that feeling in the spot where Pam and Bobby break up in Thanksgiving Square in Dallas. It is one of my favourite scenes and the place looked pretty much the same in 2014 as it did in 1983.

There is a Lego version of Thanksgiving Square!
