“I heard this place is beautiful”

RORY: I heard this place is beautiful though – old and historic.

The scenes at the school dance were filmed at the Wilshire Ebell Women’s Club in Los Angeles. There is a beautiful and historic private women’s club in Hartford too – the Town and County Club, which is in a 19^th century mansion. A number of its rooms can be hired out for functions, including the ballroom. It has the gracious staircase which Sookie believes is necessary for Rory.
