The Walking Dead; Woodbury; Alexandria

When Chuck told me he wanted to take a vacation to

Tennessee I thought it would be fun to stop where they're

filming "The Walking Dead" tv series.  They film in 

Senoia GA, which is on the way to TN.  So we made this

our first stop on our vacation.  

 I should have done more research to see what angles

they shot scenes from.  This is Woodbury where the

governor lived.  They actually used the town of Senoia

as Woodbury.  I should have shot this from the other end of

the street from some of the scenes I saw online.

This is "The Walking Dead" store where they

sell souvenirs from the show.  I saw the same

posters at Michaels for 1/2 the price.

You can see the coffee cup sign.  That's "The Walking Dead"

cafe.  It's basically a Starbucks.  You go downstairs

to visit the cafe and other shops. They also have an area set up

like the prison in the show and a motorcycle that

belonged to Daryl.  Actors from the show had autographed

the walls in the prison set.

What was interesting in the cafe was the chalkboard

that listed the casts favorite coffee or other drinks and

they signed their names on this also.

Daryl was visiting the store.

 I took a photo of his autograph for Corey.

 Senoia is a pretty little town.

 They used the town of Senoia for Woodbury.  They 

built the church they found the wimpy pastor at and

the entire town of Alexandria and really put a wall up

around it.  We were walking down the street looking at

the set when Chuck stepped on the curb.  A security guard immediately

said, "Sir, step off the curb, step back!"  He took his 

job really serious.  Scared us both.

They weren't filming at the time.

We found out filming was going to start 2 weeks
later but there was a ton of work going on
getting ready for the upcoming season.  

We met other fans of the show.  One woman could tell

us where different scenes were filmed.  Like the 3rd house

in was where Michone had a dream sequence.  I really

didn't remember it.  She also told us where the house was

that Carl sat on the roof eating the giant can of pudding.

The house where Carl sat on the roof eating pudding.
It's an actual house in the town not part of the set.

They made the church where they found the wimpy pastor 

look like it's in the middle of nowhere in the tv show but it's 

right next to the set of Alexandria they built.  Amazing what 

they can do with CG.

 Some of the railroad scenes were shot somewhere 

around here.

 

This looked like one of the many roads you see them walking or

driving on in the show.

It was fun visiting where they film the show.

We met some interesting people and some self

proclaimed stalkers.  I wonder how the actors and 

actresses feel about that?
