Ever wonder what it would be like if your favorite shows were filmed right here in Southern Maryland?
LOCALS - do you agree with these? What towns would you add?
These may be a fun stretch 🤣 but here’s how I’d cast the neighborhoods:
North Beach → Gilmore Girls
Because of local businesses, familiar faces, walkable streets, community events, and that cozy small town feeling - North Beach would be the perfect set of a lighthearted show.
Lyons Creek Overlook → Bridgerton
I don’t know about you - but whenever I enter this neighborhood, I feel the need to promenade with Lady Danbury. This neighborhood gives me the regency-era meets Northern Calvert luxury.
Grand homes, dramatic foyers, and beautiful landscaping. Perfect for a royal ball
Downtown Annapolis → Friends
Because Southern Maryland doesn’t have much of an urban settling, I’m adding in Annapolis. Oh what I’d give to still own my first condo here still. Between the happy hours, amazing restaurants, and walkable streets - Annapolis is a perfect location for a young adult. I think Annapolis needs a Central Perk, though.
Solomon’s Island → Dawson’s Creek
Because of a nostalgic, small town atmosphere that revolves around the water - this area feels like it was made for a waterfront drama. Capeside vibes; Chesapeake Bay living.
Mechanicsville → Yellowstone
Rural properties, working farms, lots of acreage, and winding country roads. I’d say Mechanicsville is the SoMD version of the Dutton Ranch Lifestyle for sure!
Broomes Island → Outer Banks
Small marinas, working waterfronts, tight knit community, boating, crabbing and neighbors who know the Patuxent River as well as they know each other. Broomes Island is the “Pogue” side of the island and I am so trying to identify as a BI Pogue as I lived here for the first quarter of my life 🤣
OG Marley Run → Parenthood
Known for bigger backyards, larger homes and green space; it feels just like the go-to setting to a “feel good” show
Shores of Calvert → Stranger Things
Between waterfront parks, established neighborhood, suburban and tucked away - this neighborhood is giving 1980s pop culture vibes to me
Bayview Manor Estates → Big Little Lies
