They would definitely need extra insurance if they were in East New York... those folks don't have the patience for the "Hollywood" types. Or, they could live in Queens and drag their clothing to the laundromat in the granny-cart and order their Chinese food through bullet-proof glass. That, after all, was <i>my</i> "real world" when I was 22 years old! --Shane-- It has become quite a pop culture phenomenon with kids. I am also surprised that the show has been on for 21 seasons. I remember religiously watching the first season in New York. That was when Soho was a "gritty, fringe" neighborhood. Wow, how times have changed! –Chandra– Too funny!

I do recall having to sit through many episodes with my step-daughter when it was set in in Hawaii though....and when she came to visit we had to go to all the spots where they went. Oh, what fun!

Bump hip Williamsburg. Buy lots of insurance and set 'em up in East New York -- that'll keep those kids, er, young adults in line, and I bet they'd like that location more in the long run, too. Keepin' it real and all, ya know? :-D (And, yes, I spent the better part of my youth in East New York, which is why I'm the strong person I am today. Wouldn't change it for the world.) Get out of here, Heather! Brooklyn?!
