Decisions, decisions, decisions.

So. 




There have been a few suggestions from the production side about whether or not to fiddle around the location/setting of 
"Little High, Little Low". 


Some of the suggestions were:
+ Boulder, Colorado
+ Las Vegas, Nevada
+ Portland, Maine
+ Albuquerque, New Mexico
+ Daytona Beach, Florida
+ Savannah, Georgia
+ Charlotte, North Carolina.




While all of these were good suggestions, only one was seriously considered: Las Vegas, Nevada.


Las Vegas would be a good way for some of the darker elements in the LHLL story-line to be played out. But, Vegas doesn't really have that "small-town" feel that is in the foundation of the friendship(s) these character's share in "Little High, Little Low". While they all lead very different, distinct lives...they all have a way of revolving around each other.




Los Angeles, CA was even suggested.
It could work. But, it's still missing that "small-town"/"everyone knows each other" vibe that is needed.




The cast and crew have been working a lot together in Southern California, mostly in Corona and just recently in Riverside. 


Orange County, Corona and Riverside truly don't seem like they are apart of California at all. The drive down south looks like you're in a different country altogether. The March 25th re-shoot was in Riverside and the view from the location was breathtaking. 




So...the battle of finding a potential city to replace the location of "Little High, Little Low"  is this -




Should it (the storyline and setting entirely) be kept in New Orleans, Louisiana? 
Or should it be relocated/re-written (just oh-so-slightly) to fit Southern California?




What do you think?






New Orleans, Louisiana...



Or Riverside, California?

  1. New Orleans seems far more charming then Riverside, but there are also many smaller town in CA that could work as well (tho I'm not positive the exact feel you're hoping for). Beach cities can have a great feel to them, places like SLO, Carmel, Monterey... I've been to places like Sisters, OR and it's completely charming and wonderful. Denver is a great place, lots of nature right at your finger tips, we went to several neat mountain-y small towns there. I used to live in VA and there are so many beautiful places we visited there and in NC.
