So, it’s well known that Silent Hill is a fallen and “haunted” Mid Western resort town. What isn’t know is that most of the locations actually come from where I live, the San Francisco Bay Area in California. The locations I can say for sure are in Silent Hill 2 and 3.

Silent Hill 2:
This one is my favorite location information. The city of Silent Hill was actually directly pulled from a historic strip of town in San Bruno, about 15 minuets from where I was living in Daly City. The area is called The Avenue and its WONDERFUL. I went early in the morning with my best friend and got to check it out. The beautiful thing about the Peninsula is that it is almost always covered in a thick blanket of fog. At the time, visibility was low and all of the shops were still yet to open. I spotted a laundromat that was nearly faithfully reproduced in game. For a fan, it was a very exciting find!

Silent Hill 3:
This one just makes me laugh. When you play SH3, you inevitably end up in a subway. On of the signs the platforms reads as Powell. That earned a giggle. What REALLY won it for me was the actual station. An awesome reproduction of the Powell Street MUNI station. (There is a picture from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powell_Street_Station) In my pictures folder.)

Also, at the end of the game, Heather, which, by the way, is my given name, enters a long hall way into the final destination. There is a strange building, mechanical sound looping in the background. Don’t worry, its just the sound of a BART train building up speed!
