Very true, it can be a good idea, but just not in this case.

SityData, shame on you.

Blue, holey cow, I had no idea Amazon was so proud of that book! I have a friend in Canada sent me a copy a couple years ago, paid $10 for it. Let me see if I can find where she got it and I'll get back to you.

from Wikpedia....(oh and btw, you can buy the series on DVD or watch it on NetFlix)

Although the town of Cicely is widely thought to be patterned after the real town of Talkeetna, Alaska,[10][11] the main street of Cicely and the filming location was actually that of Roslyn, Washington. Northern Exposure II (The main production facility) was located in Redmond, Washington in what is now the headquarters of Genie Industries, behind a business park.
Prior to producing Northern Exposure, Joshua Brand and John Falsey created the popular television program St. Elsewhere. Series producer and writer David Chase went on to produce, amongst other things, The Sopranos.
According to The Northern Exposure Book, the moose in the opening titles was named Mort and was provided by Washington State University, where he was part of a captive herd. To film the opening sequence, the crew fenced off Roslyn, set him loose, and lured him around with food.[''

The town was Roslyn, in Washington...

When the show was in production, I went down that way to visit relitives in Washington driving a white 1958 Dodge Power Wagon Panel van that I had restored to orginal condition that I was driving to Ohio and back to Alaska.

Got a lot of weird looks when I stopped there to eat lunch. I didn't know it at the time that is where the TV show was shot and I think it was about the first season.

Had a family come up and ask me if I was in the TV show, had no clue to what they were talking about, had heard of the show, but only seen it once parcially in passing since I didn't have much free time to watch TV then (or now come to think about it)....

Anyway, they stood by it and I took their photo by the front License Plate...

Didn't even look a bit like Talkeetna....
