I love Stars Hollow. I'd live there (even though it doesn't exist!)
What do you think of it?
Have you ever seen a town that reminded you of it?
What do you think makes it so charming?

I love Stars Hollow. I would totally live there.
The closest I've seen to it are the cute small towns I visited in Massachusetts. But I haven't been to Connecticut, so there could be closer matches there.
There's supposed to be a real town that it's modeled after. I'd love to visit it.

Washington Post, CT is what it is supposedly modeled after.

I'm from a fairly small town (or it used to be) but the only thing that resembles Stars Hollow is the cutsey-ness of the downtown. You recognize people, but you don't know everyone like they do on the show.

I think it's an amazing town and I'd totally live there The cool thing about it isn't its size or shops and stuff, you can find that anywhere, but mostly the neighbors. Kirk, Miss Patty and Babbette

I love Stars Hollow!! I think what makes it so charming might actually be all the crazy town stuff Taylor is always putting together - I'd love to participate in a knit-o-thon, dance-o-thon, the hay maze, the Annual Stars Hollow End of Summer Madness Festival, the Festival of Living Art...!!! I *think* I might want to live there, because it looks so fun and cozy, but I'm not quite sure. I come from a small town too and I have to admit that I much prefer living in a bigger city. I don't think I could handle all the nosing around that went on where I grew up, and realizing that the cute boy I just met actually dated my cousin the month before I've never been to a town like Stars Hollow, and I've always been a bit at a loss to tell how big Stars Hollow actually is. It seems really small, almost "village" small, but at the same time it's supposed to be more like a small town. It's like Michelle said, in small towns you might recognize a lot of people but you sure don't know everybody...

I would really enjoy living in a place like Stars Hollow. Not only do you get the whole small town thing going on but you can go to larger places like Hartford and New York isn't all that far away.

I love small towns like Stars Hollow. I lived in the city for the past 3 years, and it has been awful! I hate living with the cars and the parties and the crowds. We are actually in the process of moving right now, to a cute little town in PA just like Stars Hollow, I think I will like it (Fingers Crossed!)

I've often thought about how great it would be to live in a place like Stars Hollow with all the quirky town events and characters. It really does seem like a great place on the show. I wish it were real!

I wish it were real too! I'd love to live in a place like that! I live in a small town but there are no quirky town events and people aren't as great as in Stars Hollow...most of the people I've met here are really terrible, especially the ones of my same age.

I like Stars Hollow. As you know I live in Hawaii. The town I live in is called Waikiki and its nice because you can walk everywhere and alot of people come and visit especially this time of year. Some people know you by name. I love living there because everything is so close. The people are really friendly. The way I get around town is by driving a moped. It's a lot better than a car and it does not take much gas. Plus it is beautiful there. There's also a lot of fun stuff to do. It seems like we have a event going on every other weekend or a parade going on every other month. I can't imagine living somewhere else even though it is expenive. The weather never changes. It is always hot and the temperature stays the same. Although it sometimes cools down in the winter. That is the time we have big waves on the North Shore.

I'd love to visit Hawaii!! But I'm not sure I could live there, I'd miss my Canadian winters too much

I live in a small town in new Hampshire that is very similar to stars hollow, there's a little cafe, and everyone knows each other. for example, now i am at the library listening to the local maritime chorus. its very corny and stars hollow esque

That's sounds so awesome Gilmoregirl! I'd love to live in SH or somewhere like it. I live in a tiny village myself (less than 1000 people), but it's nothing like SH: Maybe my village is too small...but I love it here nevertheless;)
