No, the entire town of Stars Hollow is the Warner Bros Studios backlot set called "Midwest Street" built in 1946 for the film _Saratoga Trunk (1946)_ (a small section usually unseen on the show - behind the church - was added in the early 1990's for no particular television or film project).\n\nI did notice that in one episode, Rory is driving in her mom's jeep, and it passes the Good Speed Opera house in East Haddam,CT. Other than that, I haven't seen any signs, or familiar houses, buildings, etc. that are from CT ( I live there)

If this is really going to work wouldn't it be impossible to get to the event. I mean, you would have us believe the world is going to stop. Doesn't that include the trains and cabs in NY?

It's fairly self explanatory within the poem.  Longfellow wrote it to create a sense of nationalism and used Paul Revere's ride as the vehicle to create that nationalism. Longfellow wanted to create a national legend, as many English poets had done centuries before. He was trying to create an epic poem, in my opinion.  However, Paul Revere didn't actually make that grand of a ride, it was Isreal Bissel who had the longest trek.  Revere only rode a couple of miles, but that's neither here nor there.  \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Midnight_Ride_of_Paul_Revere\n\nSee if that gives you a jump start.

It was a movie called "Travel On" made in 1950. It was about a young man's search for his missing dog. It featured scenic tourists sites around the country like Mount Rushmore and the Grand Canyon. Filmed entirely in 3-D. My favorite part of the movie was when the bats flew out of the old barn. It seemed like they were flying straight at me! Fun movie.

Magnetic levitation transport, or maglev, is a form of transportation that suspends, guides and propels vehicles via electromagnetic force. This method can be faster and more comfortable than wheeled mass transit systems. Maglevs could potentially reach velocities comparable to turboprop and jet aircraft (500 to 580 km/h). Since much of a Maglev's propulsion system is in the track rather than the vehicle, Maglev trains are lighter and can ascend steeper slopes than conventional trains. They can be supported on lightweight elevated tracks. Maglevs have operated commercially since 1984. However, scientific and economic limitations have hindered the proliferation of the technology.\n\nMaglev technology has minimal overlap with wheeled train technology and is not compatible with conventional railroad tracks. Because they cannot share existing infrastructure, maglevs must be designed as complete transportation systems. The term "maglev" refers not only to the vehicles, but to the vehicle/guideway interaction; each being a unique design element specifically tailored to the other to create and precisely control magnetic levitation and propulsion.\n\nThe world's first commercial application of a high-speed maglev line is the IOS (initial operating segment) demonstration line in Shanghai that transports people 30 km (18.6 miles) to the airport in just 7 minutes 20 seconds (top speed of 431 km/h or 268 mph, average speed 250 km/h or 150 mph). Other maglev projects worldwide are being studied for feasibility.

I recommend reading "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"...a classic book about a girl being in New York in the 1920's in between wars. It's really very excellent.

there is a great book to read about this:\n\nthe city at the center of the world\n\nessentially, the duke of york, the king of england's  brother, thought that controlling the port of new amsterdam would be advantageous to english colonial aspirations and business.  he sailed a navy and army there and the dutch settlers refused to help governor peter stuyvesant fight the english because stuyvesant had been such a tyrant.\n\nthe english took over and changed the name to new york, after the duke of york.  hopefully someone will come along and provide you with more details.

I think that the French Connection is the best.  There was a great chase scene involving the West End elevated train through Borough Park.
