Where was this filmed?



I know it was in Canada. But does anyone know where exactly? I've always thought it was a beautiful town.

oops, never mind, It's Nelson BC. That;s actualy not far from here. Think I'll take a drive up and visit the firehall, maybe try to find Snowball's tree and of course the great view.. "Yep it's ugly!"

One of the nicest elements of the film is this charming scenic town where people are mostly (heaven forbid) nice to each other (minus the "hey big nose" guy) and pull together as a community. Seemingly far away from the world's big problems which might seem unrealistic but at least may exist. Cynics need not apply =)

i was from that area and i was in that town when it was being filmed. i was mad because we had to stop walking in the streets until they finished filming the drugstore scene. after that scene steve was escorted back to his trailer by a bodyguard and it was funny seeing steve with the nose on *lol*.The town where it was filmed is a beautiful small town with a very low crime rate, no graffiti like there is in LA. it's a nice place to raise a family but like small towns jobs are hard to come by

Nelson is also about 45 minutes away from a beautiful little town called Trail. That's where my family is from. I was born in Santa Barbara, CA. I always looked forward to visiting everyone up there because it's very quiet, I love the hockey team the Trail Smoke Eaters, and they have a great ski mountain called Red Mountain.

I was born and raised in Trail but i live here in southern cali now...it's been over 4 years since i've been back there

I just had to look on this board for the location. It is so charming.

reply

WDJT, you're from Trail, B.C.? Do you know of Jason Bay?

reply

i know of him but i don't know him personally

Jason Bay is a close cousin of mine, that of course includes his sister who played softball for Canada in the 2004 and 2008 Olympic games.

I came here to find out the same thing. I thought with all those mountains it was filmed in North Carolina. Still beautiful, nonetheless!

I used to live in Nelson. It's the most beautiful and charming small town I've ever seen. There truly is no other town that has the personality that Nelson has. I moved away thinking I would be back, but life has a way of moving a person in directions far from where they truly thought they would be. My plan is to move back in my retirement and purchase some lakeshore property and live out the rest of my days in heaven on earth.

You mean they could still be living in a primitive state of neurotic irresponsibility?
