Question
Do you know any locations any of the cast go to in California? is there ever anything special going on when you can meet them? also where is the peach pit and what is the walsh house address do you know?

Answer
Hi, Matt:

Well, I don't live in California or track their personal lives well enough to know just where they hang out, but I do know that some members of the cast still keep in touch.  For instance, Luke and Jason, Jennie and Tori/Tiffani, and Ian with Luke, Jason, Jennie, and Brian.  This is at the very least.

Currently, Ian is on "Dancing with the Stars".  I'm sure a few cast members will be in the audience to show their support.  Also, there may be another DVD release party around when Season 2 of "Beverly Hills" is released, May 1st.  Jennie Garth is married to ex-"Six Feet Under" actor, Peter Facinelli, so you can check industry celebrations for that show as well.  Back in the 90's, there were several self-promotional and charity events where you could meet the actors. You just need to keep abreast of their latest projects and interests.  To that end, Luke has had some theater productions, Jennie's into animal rights activism, Jason ... ice hockey and race cars.  Ian just started his own website, and then some (easily searchable).  Many are parents now, yet most are still working in film or television, even if their latest series was canceled (check the internet movie database for continual updates).  

Here are all the shot location addresses I've found for "90210".

The early Van Nuys studio address:

90210 Productions, Inc.
15001 Calvert Street
Van Nuys, CA 91411
(From an actual script copy, circa 1993)

And ...

Samuel Goldwyn/Warner Hollywood Studios
1041 N. Formosa Ave., Hollywood, Los Angeles, California

The Walsh House (exterior):

1675 E. Altadena Drive
Altadena, CA 91001
(North of Pasadena, 7 blocks east of Lake Ave, and just before Tanople Drive)

-Dylan's place is apparently only 5 houses away(!)

West Beverly High:

Torrance High School
2200 W. Carson St
Torrance, CA 90501

California Univeristy:

Occidental College
1600 Campus Road
Los Angeles, CA 90041
(Between Pasadena & Glendale, in the L.A. suburb of Eagle Rock)

The Beach Apartment:

3500 The Strand
Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
(Near the Manhattan Beach border, at the end of 35th St, facing the beach)

'Now Wear This' boutique:
7250 Melrose Ave., Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA

The Bel Age Hotel:
1020 North San Vicente Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069

And you can try Fair Oaks Drive, south of Colorado Blvd., in Pasadena, to see if there's an exterior building of the Peach Pit.  I did a quick search earlier and found a guy on Yahoo Answers who seems to think that's the location of "the high school cafe".  Though I wouldn't be surprised if the inside, at least, is just a set that's since been taken down. Do a google search for '90210 PPRest' and you'll find the next best thing to actually being there.

Good luck on your set tour!

All the best,

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.
