Although it was filmed in Newhall, California for most of the car driving scenes. I just went through there today 🙂 ---

I just went through there today 🙂 The filmed at least the pilot in Georgia (in fact, they actually drive into Atlanta in the pilot) but then moved to California as it was a lot cheaper. ---

And they filmed the first six episodes in Conyers, GA (about 25 miles from Atlanta by Interstate). You can _really_ tell a difference when they moved to California- Georgia doesn’t have any land that looks like most of what they show on the series. ---

You can _really_ tell a difference when they moved to California- Georgia doesn’t have any land that looks like most of what they show on the series. That’s right, I should have remembered it was Conyers where they also shot “In the Heat of the Night”. Conyers is a little to the SE of Atlanta but is too far out to really be a suburb. ---

Since “Dukes” is considered by some to be in the realm of “The Arts,” I’ll move this one to Cafe Society. **samclem**
