Where are you?

G-J

Would that be Jersey Shore PA?

I am in Calgary Alberta Canada Home of the Calgary Stampede. But cow boys and horses give me a rash .. Ha Ha

The Jersey Shore

Phoenix, Arizona.

I am surprised to hear the new show used the Iolani Palace.

I somehow never watched the new series.

The original series used the palace as the setting exterior but , IIRC, filmed the series inside sets constructed in warehouses.

I think my favorite episode was with Hume Cronyn

Over Fifty? Steal !

My favorite H-5-O prop was a Yellow Dodge panel truck hot rod from the episode

I live in Honolulu, Hawaii.  I am surrounded by ocean, but haven't been to the beach in 15 years or so.  (Anyone remember that funny photo of how to spot a modeler based on their tan lines?)

BTW, after chatting with an older gent while on vacation in England, I would like to quell the rumor that Hawaii is overrun by drug money and machine guns.  I think he confused reality with the TV show "Hawaii 5-O".  Oh, and we refer to flip-flops as"rubbah slippahs" here.  And the local dialect is not "the bird", it's pidgin.  No one EVER said they "speak da bird".  And dat, braddahs, is your Hawaiian lesson fo today!

Book him, Danno !

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I'm just one of those Howlie fans of the original series.

Hee hee!

I used to watch the original series too when I was a kid.  The only story I remember was the one where a guy gets a cone shell for a present, and gets stung by it and dies.  It stuck in my mind because I had a shell collection that had one of those cone shells.  When I looked it up at the library (see how long ago that was) I was surprised to find out that the snail's sting was indeed deadly.  And I have seen live specimens when I used to go scuba diving.

Oh, and the main police station did not look like the one depicted in the show.  I think they used a mainland locale (LA?).  The new show uses Iolani Palace, not the actual less photogenic station which is only a couple of blocks away.

I kinda presume tv shows do not necessarily reflect reality.

I keep intending to visit the islands but never seem to have both time and money simultaneously.

I live in Indian Trail, North Carolina, which is about 15 miles south-east of downtown Charlotte, just off Highway 74 (Independence Boulevard), in Union County. We're about 7 miles west of Monroe, NC. Beautiful little town that has grown way too fast for it's roads. All 2-lane roads feeding a community that was around 2500 population 10 years ago, and has swelled to over 37,000 now, thanks to the major banks moving their headquarters to Charlotte. Needless to say, traffic congestion is a major headache.... Other than that, a great place to live.

Elizabethtown, Kentucky, about 15 minutes south of the former Armor School at Fort Knox and about a half hour south of Louisville, Kentucky.

Elizabethtown is a pretty city. I used to go there quite a bit when I lived in Indy. The main hospital had one of the cancer treatment units that I work on. There was a very nice hobby shop there (the only one, I think) that I can't remember the name of. Is it still there?

A small village a few miles from Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, UK.

Bish, do you know where Crawley is? The company I work for is based there - Elekta, Inc. I've been there a few times in the past few years. Gatwick Airport is on the outskirts of Crawley, along with Virgin's world-wide headquarters.

Here in beach town--Corpus Christi, TX.

  Olathe, Ks.,  20-30 miles south of Kansas City.   From the jungles of N.G. to the plains of Kansas all for the love of an amazing and beautiful redhead.

I live in Laconia, NH which is in the central part of the state. The nearest hobby shop is 30 miles away and has a very limited supply. Its main business is radio controlled cars. This is why I have to buy most of my kits and supplies via on line shopping.

Hey Hogfants, I was born in Norwood and grew up in Goshen! Used to work at Kings Island while in high school. Small world. Currently in RGV of south Texas

Woody, I've only lived in Mason for a couple years. But, I really like the area. I have no plans in moving anytime soon. I'm originally from Sterling Heights, Michigan. When the Automotive industry dried up, I ended up in Dubuque, Iowa for a year, then Port St. Lucie, Florida for another two years. 

I'm so close to Kings Island, I get to see the fireworks every night during the summer! 

I'm in the San Franciso Bay area. Born here 53 years ago and have lived here all my life.

I'm located a bit northeast of Louisville, KY.   Been here for 12 years.  Prior to that, lived in a suburb southwest of Philadelphia, PA.  Also have family that live very close to Kings Island in Cincinnati, so a quick salute to FSM members in each of those regions.
