Beverly Hills 90210/Location of the Peach Pit/After Dark?

Question
I'm sure it's been changed by now but is there an actual building that held the
Peach Pit/After Dark? (Also, where can I find the clinic that Kelly worked in
during season 8, if it exists.)

Answer
Hi Kay Kay,

The interior of the Peach Pit was filmed on set at a studio in Van Nuys.  There were a few different exteriors, pre-"Nat's" renovation and post.  For the outside of the Pit in S1, go to The Apple Pan Restaurant, located at 10801 West Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles.  The more classic exterior, used for S2-S10, is at 45 South Fair Oaks Avenue in Pasadena, CA.  It used to be Ruby's Diner before that closed in 2005.  Shortly after, the building was painted yellow and the only way you could really tell that it was the exterior to the Peach Pit was because the double doors remained, along with the shape above where the "Peach Pit" name and clock used to be.  

The AfterDark interiors were on set too, and the supposed "outside" of it consists of one brick wall at this very location.  The studio lot used for 90210 is at 15001 Calvert Street in Van Nuys, CA.  No word on the Wyatt Clinic of S8/S9.  

Thanks for the question!

All the best,

Mel

Can Dylan solve quadratic equations? What makes up a "mega-burger"? If an answer exists, I probably know it. Whether your question is general, begging the context of all 10 seasons, or completely inane, feel free to drop me a line either way. I will provide episode reference numbers for each response and plan to have some fun with this. Trivia quizzes often need correction, and publications will get their plotlines/characters/relationships mixed up too. I accept dialogue/scene requests, but please limit your inquiry to 1-2 per question. I only know music from the original broadcasts/reruns, not the DVDs. Been a fan since 1990 and didn't miss a beat.

Experience

Well, I began watching "Beverly Hills, 90210" at the tender age of 9 and a half, during its original run. By 11, I was a huge fan; 13, obsessed; 14, growing bitter. I don't like S6 - S10 as much as Seasons 1 - 5. But, technically, I still watch all of them in some way. Do this for 20 years and you'll remember the darndest things.

Education/Credentials
I'd like to say I've earned a "degree" on the life and times of the original eight, with specific concentration on Seasons 1 thru 5, any Jack McKay drama, Dylan/Kelly together or apart, and the guest stars of 1992-1994. Season 4, I think, was the best and strikingly different from any other. My only weakness might be later-season 'stand-in' characters like Matt and Noah, and the ever-changing ownerships of The AfterDark.
