Whoops, no gorram post!
I was wondering if they ever said where Sunnydale was on the show. I know Angel takes place in L.A., and I always got the feeling Sunnydale was in California too.

P.S. Did you see Sealab Sun. night! At the end, Stormy fell into a giant pit with a sign that said "Danger: Hellmouth!"

Yes, they did say that Sunnydale was in California. It's fictional, of course. But, it was made clear that it was in Cali.

In California, up the coast a bit from LA. I got the impression that it was closer to the bay area. In the last season Spike and Andrew head "north" to a mission in Gilroy. Gilroy is below the southern end of San Fransisco bay.

Funny, I live in SunnyVALE California. My folks back east used to ask me about the vampire problem here.

Well, hmmm.. not really sure how to answer this.

You might want to note that almost all my posting to this board are done after dark.

Huh, I always thought it was Santa Carla that had the damned vampire problem.

Not sure about Sunnydale. But Sunnyvale is part of the one great megopolis that winds around the SF bay area. It is between Santa Clara and Mountain View on the western side of the bay.

I always figured that since it's a large town south of L.A., with a good-sized port it was located next to San Diego.

According to one of the Buffy season DVDs (I forget which one) in a commentary by Joss, he said he always envisioned Sunnydale to be Monterey, CA.

Which incidentally is a half hour away from Santa Cruz (where "Lost Boys" was filmed except it was called Santa Carla).

Now where did we place that Hellmouth...

And one of the dorms at the local University in the show is named "Kresge", which is the name of one of the colleges at UC Santa Cruz-- I believe Marti Noxon (sp?) is an alumnus.

Having previously lived in Santa Cruz, I can totally believe that Buffy was set on Monterey Bay-- if there was a Hellmouth beneath Santa Cruz it would explain many things....

Oh, bugger! Now I have to wait for someone to wake up!

Is the Kresge college at UC Santa Cruz named after Sebastian Kresge? Sebastian Kresge founded the Kresge department stores and the Kresge Foundation who's mission is "to promote the well-being of mankind." The Kresge Department store chain became K-Mart. Probably everything that has his name on it is because of his foundation's work.
