I saw a picture of the house on another message board, and always thought it wasnt a real house, but a friend of mine said her brother has seen the real house and somebody really lives there..is that true? Where is it located in North Jersey exactly.

Unless I am mistaken, it is a real house, and there are people who live there. Apparently they are well compensated by HBO for the use of their property.

The house is in North Caldwell, NJ. The inside of the house has not been used since early in Season 1. They now use a set in Queens, NY, which is setup like the interior of the original house.

I should hope so, it's not great having people filming in your house every single day. Well, I guess if it's Tony Soprano, what choice do you have, right?

Imagine lending your house out for filming purposes. Can you imagine how "handsomely" this family was paid??? Had to have been a bundle for that kind of inconvenience.

I wonder if anyone has noticed any continuity errors before and after they switched from the real house to the set look-a-like?

I can't say I've detetected any inconsistencies with the "set" house and the real house. I'll say one thing tho... It is a beautiful house. I wouldn't complain if I lived in a home like that.


TIS

Where would you park your shopping cart?

It IS a beautiful house!



BTW - The house is located on Aspen Drive in North Caldwell, NJ.

SC,

Well, if they don't allow shopping carts, then forget it. I'm not buying it!! :p


TIS

lol...

"Pets & kids OK. Shopping carts not welcome."

Yes, indeed. The kitchen in the pilot episode is different slightly.

TIS & SC, didn't they drive you by the house on your Sopranos tour? I would think that would be a highlight.

Hi PLaw!

It sure would have been a highlight. However, they said they were not allowed to tour by the house. I imagine it would be quite annoying for the neighborhood, although pretty cool for us.

If I am not mistaken, the house was in a totally different part of NJ then the other sites we saw.


TIS

You guys it is in North Caldwell, I thought it was right by everything, like Satriales and what not.

I thought Livia (RIP) was the most annoying. I would love for someone to post a picture of Gloria Truillo or Valentina La Paz ( two of Tny's gumars) they are pretty and I wouldnt mind using one of their pictures for my avatar image

lol, I think your in the wrong thread sweetie...


But if you want an avatar, I can make you one, just find the image and I'll hook ya up.

Hey DJ,

Will you make me an avator??? Only I wouldn't know how to add it.


TIS

Check your PM, TIS.

The (already long) tour was only able to cover the areas of Newark, Jersey City, Lodi, Harrison and surrounding areas. Hitting Caldwell would've added well over an hour -- or two -- to the tour. It's unfortunate, because that area has many spots as well.

Ahh, well, I've already seen The House. SC, isn't that the pic I took? Maybe not, but I did post a couple shots of it on this board a while back.

Guess what? They're gonna be shooting in North Caldwell on Dec 5th directly across the street from my friend's house -- at his neighbor's house (I've seen the place). A keg party scene. Wonder if I can crash it for the free beer?

It may be, Geoff. I had saved that photo some time back, and I can't remember from where I got it.

I hafta work that Friday (Dec. 5th), otherwise I'd join ya at the keg blast. (That scene probably won't air until Season 6...I think Season 5 is in the can already).

A house near mine was recently used for filimh a soap opera. We never got to see it though cuz it was aired in America only. apparently the guy got pai 1000 dollars a fday.

It's Season 5 -- I've seen the letter. They're always shooting the last few episodes a month or two before the season starts; they've got plenty to air first, as they're in post w/ the later ones.
