My inner Dawson's Creek geek was mostly satisfied today by our Hollywood Location Walk. It would have been more so only if the entire tour were about that show! We saw several locations used in that series, as well as One Tree Hill which is currently still filming in Wilmington and several movies which very few us seemed to have seen..... Apparently the very same tour two weeks prior stumbled upon Chad Michael Murray filming One Tree Hill next the the haunted Bulluck Hospital (more on that when I post about the ghost tour....)
The first photo above is the Realto Theatre where Dawson, Jen, Pacey and Joey all went to watch a movie Jen's first night in town. This was the exterior they used and there used to be the facade of a ticket booth and entrance. The interior was somewhere else.
The second photo is the building owned by the producers of both One Tree Hill and Dawson's Creek. The top floor is set up as offices and was the set for Pacey's job in the financial world. The bottom floor used to house Karen's Cafe from One Tree Hill but now house's Brooke's Clothes Over Bro's clothing store set.
Photo #3 is the exterior of the federal courthouse in Wilmington and was the setting for Matlock. It was also used in One Tree Hill and was the exterior setting for Jack and Joey's date to the museum on Dawson's Creek.
Photos #4 and #5 are of the exterior and still unchanged location for Hell's Kitchen where Joey worked in the final season of Dawson's Creek. The place was sold once the show wrapped and the owners have not changed a thing. Joey's row boat is even said to be displayed inside.
The sixth photo above is the exterior for Leery's Fresh Fish, Dawson's family's restaurant.
Photo number 7 is the starting point on the Cape Fear River for the yacht race between Dawson and Pacey from season 3. The rest of the race was filmed at Wrightsville Beach.
Photo #8 is the Ice House that Pacey purchased and ran in the series finale. The original Ice House run by the Potters and burned down by Joey's Dad was leveled and is now just an empty lot.
Photo #9 is Joey's wall!!! The wall Pacey rented for Joey to paint her mural on after the one she painted at school was defaced by Drew Valentine.
Photo #10 is the warehouse Mitch Leery purchased from teacher Tamara Jacob's during his split from Dawson's mom Gail.
