Once Upon a Time in Storybrooke, Maine...

My name is James, and I am a fan of Once Upon a Time, the ABC series essentially based on the Disney Princesses...

There, I've said it. Yup, I'm a fan. Grumpy is my favorite character, I should note, followed by the non-wussified version of Charming. Second season has been a bit rocky for me, but that's the way they go...

"Snow White, Cinderella, and Red Riding Hood walk into a bar..." gotta figure out the joke to that one...

Anyhoo, finally got a little job off my list concerning the series. I know the actual town they use for filming is in Canada, on the other side of the continent from Maine, but I knew i the back of my head there was a way to find out where Storybrooke was supposed to be in Maine. It had been whispering into my brain for a while now, and I finally put it all together.

The secret is in the map in the Sheriff's office in the First Season episode, "Skin Deep" (Rumbelle fans, you can view this after you stop screaming in glee at the mention of that episode):

Check that map out versus a map of Maine:

Now, most Sheriffs are going to have a map centered on their own HQ location, more or less. So I have put a red dot in each about where I figure Storybrooke is supposed to be; on the end of that peninsula.

So anyway, there's my bit of fandom geekery completed for the day... one more check off the list...

Now to figure out why the characters in the series think Boston is the capital of Maine... That's the odd one...
