Dream Destinations (part IV)

 In this final installment of Dream Destinations( read part I, part II, and part III) we'll mainly be in the New England area, but will head South for one of my all-time favorite movies.

 First, Eastport, Massachusetts

the location of the movie, Mermaids.

 

 {I love this movie for the pretty trees, 

the witty humor of Winona Ryder's character,

 and because it marks the big-screen debut of Christina Ricci.} 

Staying in Massachusetts, we're heading to Salem,

home of the 1692 witch trials.

 {Salem is also home to the Sanderson sisters of Hocus Pocus}

 Next, to the fictional town of 

Thayer, Connecticut.

 {Thayer is where the movie The Family Stone takes place, 

note: one of the sons is named after his fictitious hometown}

  

Ending on a high note, is (drumbroll please)

Smithville, Texas,

where Birdie was Queen of Corn.

 

{the actual welcome sign}

 

{one of my most favorite movies ever.}

There you have it; the places I'd most like to visit.

Whether they're real or fake, they house some of the best moments in silver screen geography.
