Additional Comments: I really do like the outdoor shots, the Snyder Pond is now a bona-fide "real" body of water and the car scenes with Holden and Carly are real as well. Much better than a fake car driving scene.

I like them too. Did you notice the Illinois plate on the car the other day? Nice touch since they are filming in NY.

Actually, Kitty, I believe they are filming their outdoor scenes these days in Cresskill, NJ, which is in the northeastern top corner of NJ--kinda across the Hudson River from Yonkers, NY--which, surprisingly, isn't all that close to the ATWT studios in Brooklyn. Several weeks back when Carly was driving Jack to the OPD station, they passed a mini-bus in the parking lot that was labeled ''Cresskill.'' As well, during a Carly/Holden scene at nu-Snyder Pond two weeks ago, it ended with a long shot of Carly and Holden walking away from the shoreline while a motorboat was in the foreground of the shot...labeled with a license/ID number on the bow starting with ''NJ''---OOPS! Someone goofed! LOL I'm hoping they continue with the exterior shots where the seem natural (in cars, walking in a park or city street, walking up to/exiting the exterior of a well-chosen house, etc.). I just think that, for now, they should stick with their existing interior sets (though I'd dump Old Towne in a heartbeat for appropriate real-life exteriors!). - DanMan869/eom

I like the great outdoor scenes. Gee, they could even show Holdens horse and get the kids a pony.
