Hi all! Haven't been on here for a long while. I like to think the GB75 crew operates in a Californian city called Richardsville (after the writer Marc Richards). LOL, welcome back, good suggestion, I love it!  |

We just totally bypassed/forgot the undeniable fact wherever the series is fictionally set, there are ancient castles everywhere around the town, so I would say it's a new place not existing on our parallel Earth located near "their" New York.

I would like to think that the one-and-only castle/mansion (and graveyard as well) was brought over to Richardsville, CA stone by stone from some European country. Wasn't the lady (Carola) in the Canterville Ghost episode the live-in owner of the place? Maybe she was the American descendant of the original owners. Maybe the diamond was famous in the old country and Mr. C saw the opportunity to try and nab it since the castle had been moved to the States (long before 1975). After Mr. C was arrested and Simon de Canterville was spiritually liberated, maybe Carola moved on to a more modern domicile.
I haven't watched the show in a long while. I need to rectify that!

Another good storyline. Cheers! I would place Richardsville near NY. Richardsville is supposed to be a very "Californian-esque" town, despite being placed near the Big Apple. It makes sense in the FGB universe. ;D |

Referring to the new Ghostcommand: The adress I mentioned before (13 Canterbury Street, New York) is documented in the books! Well, not so long ago I took a look at the adress on streetview. That was fascinating. That area looks totally different to that one we know from the cartoon. That was very interesting! I think we can only speculate a lot about parallels to our world, but it stays a different world with their own rules, which is only based on our world. By the way, in my fanfictions the old office of Spenser, Tracy & Kong is located in California. It seems to me more fitting.  |
