Sunnydale is a fictitious town in SoCal. Has to be between San Diego
and L.A. In one episode, Buffy talked of her dad coming "down from
L.A."

But yet, Sunnydale HS is also the old Beverly Hills HS from "90210"...

Sunnydale would be located in the Santa Barbara area. This is from
Joss directly.
Buffy has stated that Sunnydale is 2 hours away from the nearest Neiman
Marcus (sp?). This would eliminate the stretch between LA and San
Diego.
Her reference to "down from LA" was debated after TH. This is only an
expression, not a geographical reference.

I work for a congressional campaign and I remember receiving an envelope
from Sunnydale. I don't recall if it was in California though... =-)

It's either that or Sunnyvale, I'm not positive.

Fictional town. I guess it could be summed up by saying Sunnydale is
a reel town.

On the other hand, there *is* a Sunny*v*ale sorta where Sunnydale
ought to be... Very amusing to watch Buffy in Sunnyvale, particularly
if there are people not that familar with the show who start hearing
what sounds like people on tv talking about vampire attacks in sunnyvale...

I live right next door to Sunnyvale, CA. It's about 45 min south
of San Francisco (depending on traffic). It's also the home of
the world-famous haunted "Toys-R-Us" store that has been featured
on a number of "unexplained mysteries" type programs.
I was actually shopping at a record store in Sunnyvale when I heard
my first radio ad for the Buffy series (the historical one about the
woman blacksmith, unsolved murders, etc...) way back in Feb '97.
I misheard them to say "Sunnyvale" (instead of Sunnydale) in the ad,
so I was extra keen to watch (along w/ liking the movie). Glad I did.
And the rest is silence....

Whoa, what haunted "Toys-R-Us"? Is this the one on El Camino Real?
What happened there, and when?
Inquiring minds want to know (well at least *one* inquring mind wants to know)

Okay, you post to this newsgroup, and *you* knew it! Why would you
assume that no one else would know it was from _Moby_Dick_? Granted,
I've never managed to get past page 1 of that book--yet I've heard the
quote enough times to recognize it.

According to other posts, and an interview with Joss Whedon, Sunnydale
stands in for Santa Barbara. Buffy said in "Welcome to the Hellmouth,"
that Sunnydale was two hours from LA's _Nieman Marcus_.
There is in Sunnyvale, that's with a v, near San Jose, CA. AFAIK it
doesn't have a hellmouth, just software companies.
Make of that what you will.

Actually, so do I... I'm in the Sunnyvale area often enough, and am
pretty sure I've been in that Toys R Us.. That and the one in
Redwood Shores... Geez, next you'll be telling me Fry's moved to the new
building because the old one was posessed...

The only imperfection in that mapping is that people seldom make
references to the beach in BtVS, something that would be hard to
imagine in Santa Barbara, where the ocean figures so prominently.
Cordy would be especially beach-oriented, I'd figure.
OTOH, they *were* partying on the beach in "Go Fish" and the
fishboys swam off into what was presumably the Pacific Ocean at
the end. That's the first episode I've seen that would seem
consistent with Santa Barbara in my mind (from a lifestyle
perspective). Well, maybe "Reptile Boy" too, if one argued
that the fraternity's college was UCSB.

No, the college would have to be UC Sunnydale. :)
