Around the dinner table, the conversation was lively. Thank you but for now, the forum has been archived.
Although the store category "convenience store" might not have been around in the '50s and '60s, there were certainly individual stores that used descriptions of themselves as such. For example, here is an ad for a department store in Allentown, PA in 1920.
Snoqualmie is in Washington State, outside of Seattle. There is a beautiful waterfall there.
I think everyone here may already know that. It's the one used in the opening credits.
Well I didn't know it. Thank you Megan. And Sam can't you let people share things without making sure they know you already know everything?
Sheeezzz.
Please tell me where you read any kind of put down in what I wrote, or where it was stated or implied I know everything.
It's a safe assumption that most people know where the show is made, the locations used and so on.
I should not have to - and will not - put a smiley on the end of every single post, just in case someone thinks I'm being harsh. That said, you can take it as read there wouldn't be one here anyhow.

Sorry. I was rather unfair. I guess i was reacting not so much to your post, as to the overwhelming amount of material here and the difficulty some newer arrivals might have in absorbing it all. It is virtually impossible to catch up here if you haven't been here very long, yet some will still tell people that their topic was already discussed, etc. I spend an awful lot of time here but cannot keep up. There is bound to be some repetition and some people won't know things that more seasoned posters and film-smart people take for granted.
But again, my humble apologies and no you are not mean.
This 'burning' resonates with the insurance fires, where people start a business, and then burn the business down in order to collect the insurance money; so that instead of making money over time through the business, the money comes in right away and quick, like buying something conveniently, quickly, instead of going shopping at the grocery. When Dougie was marking the insurance forms, exposing the arson frauds, he marked the forms with stairs going up from one name, leading all the way down to the bottom of the page where another name was. This is a representation of what Mr. C was doing at the convenience store: first he goes above the convenience store, as if vanishing, that the search for convenience or the running of a convenience store as the place to meet made him change; and then Mr. C finds himself as the bottom led by more woodsmen(something like going from one name on the form to another, with paid cops helping to lead you out of the bottom/trouble), in some kind of basement or cargo hold where he has to climb back up again, then arriving at the motel and a new bosom woman to let him in. So 'who built this heart'? Like Big Ed's changing reflection, Cooper in that situation after his dreams about Twin Peaks, Laura, and Annie were shattered, became a joke so that he would laugh "Annie, Annie, Annie, hahhaha", how stupid was he, now he knows its all about convenience(like he will teach Richard now), then become Mr. C, then would have to climb back up from the bottom and where would he be then, at that motel looking for convenience. Also, at the bottom, Mr. C is being led through a deep forrest, you can see it on the sides, same deep forest Steven was caught in, and he also wanted to go 'up', but used a bullet(or at least seemed to) instead of the stairs. Finally the position of the bosom womans house reminds of the 119 womans house across from Jade's 'place of work', something like Dougie's alternate 'bosom'/family if he live the 'viva las vegas' life of convenience and cheap amusement and gave up with Janey E....., 119 and the kid were always watching for his car and waiting for him to come back, then they heard tragic music after it exploded and he was gone for good....
I want to add something to this about the 'up and down' on the insurance form with the stairs, like up to the convenience store leads you down to the basement/deep in the woods. Mr. C does not need anything from the world, he is above it, treating it as something to use and destroy at his convenience; and thus Mr. C goes above the convenience store and is not forced to go into Big Ed's Gas Farm and 'bear with me', bear with the world, see how things work rationally, what is right, etc., he just takes and destroys right away for his own 'wants'/profits/enjoyments, etc. to which the entire world is held under with direct force, turned into a convenience store by force. It is when Mr. C makes this move 'all the way up' that the world turns into a 'deep forest', a basement, Jacobi's 'mud', etc., since the authority enforces the world to tyranny, to lose freedom and be a slave to his convenience/profits/wants/enjoyments. This 'going all the way up above the world' turns the world into a convenience store, ruins the world directly with tyranny. Thus when Mr. C emerges again he is in that motel with a 'new bosom woman' and the 'man behind the machine', the man directly controlling thought/brains for his own wants, his wild quest, his selfish irrational pain/enjoyment, etc., behind the teapot machine of the digital network, is the control room of Phillip Jeffries.
Mr. C is on a wild quest to possess the void(that 'mother'/owl symbol), thinking it is some positive thing or 'wizard' pulling the strings behind it all that he will be able to control or posses, but all he finds is an ordinary guy, no 'wizard'. Here we find just Jeffries who went the same path as Mr. C but just ended up turning the world into that 'convenience motel'(his 'wizards control room') with no idea what is Mr. C is talking about and does not even care about Judy anymore.
