re: SPN Hellhouse

Jensen must have been dying as they filmed this. Being that he's from Richardson, and the "Richardson" of the episode is nothing like that.

I-35? Never smaller than 2 lanes in each direction. Rarely smaller than 3.

Richardson is like total suburbia. Except for like 3 horse-pastures it's all residential neighborhoods from the early 70's and corporate offices and warehouses.

"Where kids hang out in a town like this--" Hmm. That would be the hooka bar or the Yes Cafe, drinking Chinese bubble-tea.

And I love it in the episode when the waiter calls him Jensen instead of sir or Dean or whatever his line was supposed to be.

I loved Hellhouse! One of the most fun episodes :-)

[ladyjanelly.livejournal.com]

It really was. Just labeling the town Richardson must have been an in-joke. I can imagine Jensen saying to whoever did that, "you think you're funny, don't you?"

If I ever write Jensen and Jared coming home for the holidays or something, I'm totally working this all into the fic.

I love living here. It's like one of the most culturally diverse places I've lived. Black, Hispanic, a huge Muslim community and a Chinese one that's a little larger. God we've got the best food. A little more Thai and it'd be perfect. :)

Which reminds me I need to go to the Chinese supermarket and get a can of pickle.

Mmmm. Pickle.

Exactly! Also, if they were in East Texas a few hours from their destination, they would be either : A. NOT on I35... or in OK if so, B. In LA close to Shreveport, but not on I35. And WHY didn't someone fix that glitch??? Don't they know the fans can and will pick that crap out?
LOL

I-35 runs within a 20 minute drive of Richardson, but I dunno if I'd call anything on the west side of Dallas "East Texas," y'know?

Canton is in East Tx - Tyler is East Texas. Not any part of Dallas.

I worked in Carrollton for 3 years and different parts of Dallas for longer. As exciting as it was to see them use Texas, I thought they could have done better research. When I was in HS, there was a house in Marshall Creek called Crazy Man's that would have made a better fit. Rural area, close to 114, and much more believably faked in Canada than Richardson. But then the writers didn't ask Jensen, did they?
