Henley finally arrives at the boarding
house where she's staying.
It's here that she meets the widows and Mr. Grieves, and is warned not
to go upstairs.
This is actually Terralta
Cottage, at 160 Dorset Street West,
in Port Hope, Ontario.
Here is a Google StreetView
panorama of the cottage:
A lot of the action takes place at the
police station.
This is actually Port
Hope's Town Hall (built
in 1851) at 56 Queen Street.
Here is a Google StreetView
panorama of the town hall:
A few of the businesses on Haplin's main
street are featured in the pilot.
One is Big
Dave's Pizza Barn, where the owner imports New York tap water
for his pizzas.
This is actually an empty storefront
at 49 Walton Street, in Port Hope.
(It's between the real Dimitri's Restaurant and Mad Money Clothing.)
Here is a Google StreetView
panorama of that storefront:
Another of the Haplin businesses
is the movie memorabilia store run
by
the mysterious Merritt Grieves (Sam Neill).
This storefront is at 59
Walton Street, in Port Hope.
Over the years, it has housed
a number of businesses, most recently an antique store.
Here is a Google StreetView
panorama of that storefront:
A minor crisis erupts, just
as the "Thaw Fest" is about to begin, when a citizen puts up
a banner reminding the town of the missing victims of "The Magic Man".
This banner scene was filmed
on Queen Street, looking north to
Walton St., in Port Hope.
(The peaked building at the end of the street is 28 Walton St.)
Here is a Google StreetView
panorama of Queen Street:
(Some of the later Thaw Fest scenes were filmed at Montebello Park in St. Catharine's, Ontario).
And lest you think I forgot
about the opening murder scene, where Jerry Friddle is killed
in an ice fishing shack on the frozen "Mac's Pond"...
We have to go outside of Port
Hope for this one. But not too far.
They filmed this frozen lake
at Discovery Harbour - an historic
tourist spot,
at 93 Jury Drive, on the shore of Penetanguishene
Bay, Ontario.
(That's about 150 miles northwest
of Port Hope.)
Here is a Google StreetView panorama of
the same area when it isn't frozen over:
(at least as close as Google's camera came to it)
