Untrue! I think it was our Rainiest Spot in Western Washington! That's a claim! I mean... it's Forks.
I think that's exactly why she wound up choosing the location. She Googled for the rainiest spots in the U.S.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Remember when The Blair Witch Project came out? Many fans of the film (who didn't quite understand that the whole thing was made up) descended on the town in Maryland where the movie was set and filmed in and bemused most of the townspeople.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I think Roslyn (the NE town) did, too.
They did, and we still had people coming up and demanding to go to Cicely.

I own a T-Shirt from the Brick. But going to a location is different than going to a place because it was named in a book, because real folks (the actors) were really there.
Although I know there is a HUGE fandom which goes to Prince Edward Island on "Anne of Green Gables" tours. Many of them from Japan, I hear.

Tourism is a major industry for the Island, so they totally milk Anne for all it's worth.

That in itself sounds like a Maurice project...remember the one with the Japanese couples and the N. Lights?

I also think there is a difference between going into a coffee shop and ordering their cherry pie, and asking to buy the clothes off the back of a stranger. (The stranger being a teenage girl adds to the Craxy, but pretty insane even if the person approached was an adult.)
