Beloved fictional locations-- TV, movies, books, stories, etc

The Doctor’s TARDIS. Not so much for the looks or comfort, but for what it can do.

Although the dark wood paneling from the late Sarah Jane/early Leela era did look elegant.

Hanging Gardens of Babylon with a side trip to sixteenth century Venice? Sounds like fun! Let’s do it!

Also Fawlty Towers for the rat, and the majestic wildebeest.

With Callahan’s you beat me to it, but I was also thinking of the main parlor in Lady Sally’s place.

I know it’s a cartoon, but I want to live in BoJack Horseman’s house.

Cartoon locations welcome. Any location from fiction, film, TV, poetry, a painting qualifies. I’d like to hang out in the house where The Family Circus lives.

^ Not me.

:innocent: :wink:

Rivendell, Lothlorien, and Hobbiton from Middle-Earth. I know that Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings movies aren’t universally beloved among Tolkien’s fans, but to me, he got the looks of all three of those places just right.

The titular radio station from WKRP in Cincinnati.

The town of Cicely, Alaska, from Northern Exposure. The Brick bar and grill, KBHR radio, Ruth-Ann’s store…I loved all of it.

Oh yeah. Both of these.

Oh! The Gertrude Hawke Inn from the Ilona Andrews’ Innkeeper series.

Well, you can head southeast out of Seattle, visit the Twin Peaks locations (we had a wonderful brunch at the lodge where Agent Cooper stayed), then end up in Cicely, AK…

Although it’ll really be Roslyn, WA. Remember that café with the camel on the side? It was Roslyn’s… well, they just pasted that 'pstrophe S on there. It’s the Roslyn Café:

And there’s The Brick, and Ruth Ann’s store next to a quaint hardware/general store, and a storefront with Dr. Joel Fleischmann painted on the window… fun trip.

And one of the few places in this thread that you can actually visit.

I’ve heard that one can see the locations there. Once we get past this dumb virus, I’ll have to make the trek someday. :slight_smile:

I’d be afraid of the Phantom Zone grandparents hovering around during “my time”.

I’d like to visit the Rainbow Bridge, and see all my little lost kitties.

As far as I’m concerned, that’s not a fictional location! I plan to go there someday where I will be mobbed by cats and dogs (a couple of parakeets) and surrounded by yelps, meows, wagging tails, licks, slobber, nose boops, barks, and more joy than I can possibly contain. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: The most important thing is that I will never have to say goodbye to any of them ever again.

That’ll be me, too. Then, after a few years of that I’ll say “Oh, yeah, I forgot there are people here, too. I should probably say hi to my folks…”

The Psyche! office, Jim Rockford’s trailer, Green Acres, the original NCC-1701, and the TARDIS.

As for fictional locations I’ve actually been to, I’ve been to the Whistle Stop Cafe in Julliette GA. They filmed the movie Fried Green Tomatoes there. Yes, the food is very good.

If I’m in the mood for a real regression, it would have to be the Hundred Acre Wood with Pooh and Piglet. Though I tend more to be either Eeyore or Owl.

Or perhaps Scatterbrook Farm with Worzel Gummidge.

But definitely not Cold Comfort Farm (much as I enjoy re-reading it).

Have you seen the movie? It’s quite good.
