Question
Mel,
So speaking of KEG, do you know anything about the street and/or town location for the home the producers used as 'the KEG house?'

Regards,
-Drew

Answer
Hi Drew,

Well, nothing too exact, but I did read a blog from a fellow fan once which chronicled his time taking a road trip to various 90210 locations.  Apparently, the house used for the KEG fraternity is located right next to Occidental College, which provides the campus for the fictional California U. The  street address for that school is 1600 Campus Rd., Los Angeles CA 90041.  It's in Eagle Rock, which is found in the North Eastern part of L.A., between Pasadena and Glendale.  It is, however, possible that the humorous nature of the article has caused me to misinterpret its true location, so this is more like an educated guess.  

I have been to Eagle Rock, though, and the "KEG House" fits in with the general scenery of the neighborhood.  They likely wanted to use a house either on or nearby campus just to save travel time and production costs, since they were already filming there.  And if you go on the college's website, you'll recognize several spots that were featured on the show.

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.
