Ah, to be back in Star's Hollow...

In tiny Brooklin, Maine, just up the road from WoodenBoat Harbor (where the magazine and school of the same name live), there is an inn that will make any faithful Legally Blonde reader have a sad little smile on her face. I bring you: The Dragonflye Inn. Lorelai herself would feel right at home. And Luke would have a place to finally launch his boat. I suppose that Friday night dinners could have been held in Northeast Harbor (near where Martha Stewart's summer home is) so that the senior Gilmores had a tony-enough enclave to call their own. It's not Cape Cod or the Hamptons, but it's darn close. (In this parallel Star's Hollow universe, Richard is already retired, of course.) Maybe Rory would have gone to Bowdoin, which, with a little Hollywood movie magic, could be conveniently relocated to be within a 40 minute drive of both her mother and her grandparents. And while Bowdoin isn't really the same as Yale, Rory certainly could have picked up the likes of Logan (and we do likes Logan, don't we?) there quite easily, secret society and all, I'm guessing. What do you think? Should I send my proposal to Amy Sherman-Palladino and see if she's up for a second go-round, relocated to coastal Maine?
