Yessss my lovely they do, and I have never watched it that much but my boys all love it, and I wear my Walking Dead tee shirt! Ah how I wish that you could watch it! I would watch it for you if I could. :rugby: What I have seen, Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) is a cutie! Well at least they are putting our little town on the map and road trips from the stalkers of the Walking Dead travel far, once upon a time they were filming right on my street so that was pretty sweet! :tickled_pink:
You have seen Norman Reedus??? Oh, expect company soon. In addition to your town being quite fetching, it has other attractions!

Old town, Stockholm. Founded ca 1252. The houses now standing are from the 19,th century mostly. The churches are older of course.

Built on a lot of small and big islands. In the background the Royal Palace.
Engelbrektskyrkan.jpg

The Engelbrekt Church. I used to play there a lot as a kid. Not in the church but in the greeneries that surround it. Engelbrekt was a hero that led a rebellion against the danes in the 15,th century.
katarina-kyrka.jpg

Katarina church. It is named after the princess Katarina, King Karl X Gustavs mother. Lies in the southern part of central Stockholm. Built around 1660.

The Hagapark. It is big enough that you can get lost in it. The Crown Princess and her family lives in it. My fave playing ground as a child.
....hi Kurben!!! This takes the cake. I'm sure that if I lived there I would simply walk around drooling all day.

What a beautiful place. I thought Idaho was all flat with fields of spuds. Sorry for being so ignorant.
LOL. That's okay. I have found over the years that there are many who have some strange ideas about Idaho. A photo of the Sawtooth Mountain range in central Idaho. You've probably heard it referred to as "Sun Valley" which is just a ski resort in the area.

I know what you mean my dear. Some folks think that Canada only has three weeks of summer.:lol: Actually, Alberta can have very long, hot, dry summers. We had scary tornado weather, too. :bashful:

Its become one of the attraction cities for Walker stalkers who are following the Walking Dead.


Heres a link to about 50 photographs of scenes that were all filmed in my hometown in the city and on the outskirts. :lemo:

Griffin Archives | The Walking Dead Locations

You must live near another on-line friend of mine. She says every year when filming starts there are people that call 9-1-1 over dead people walking around. The actors when not filming are sometimes in costume and make-up.

(Please tell me she's not pulling my leg. I absolutely love this story.)

View attachment 18997 The PATH is more than 30 kilometres underground. People live and work there and supposedly some have not come out for years. I got lost under there once. Left work and went to buy something. Got all confused, finally found an exit and I was almost a mile from work.
Oh what would I give to be able to have access to this underground. I love the idea of being underground like this....always did. To be able to walk and walk whatever is going on outside.

Was so happy to be able to visit Toronto in 2012. If I'd known about the castle, I would've gone because it was mid-October. I was in town to see a local band ;)

Want to go back when I'm not sick and can actually explore more. I did manage to make it to the museum the day before I left. Amazing!

"the museum"? You'll need to be a bit more specific.

ROM - Royal Ontario Museum
AGO - Art Gallery of Ontario
Science Centre
BATA Shoe Museum
Aga Khan Museum (probably not...I don't think it's been open that long)

These are the big ones....there are a lot more.

This would be the year to return. Canada is celebrating our 150th birthday.
