I recently went to Atlanta, Georgia for “Walker Stalker Con Atlanta” and it was a great experience! I also went to several places from the show "The Walking Dead" as well and it was an incredible experience too. Here’s my top 5 favorite locations!
1. Where it all started
This was the alley way that Glenn was hiding down in Season 1, Episode 2 “Guts." Rick would run up the street to this spot and run down the alley and then climb up a ladder with Glenn to escape a herd of walkers.
2. Woodbury
Woodbury (Senoia was used as the location) played a major part in Season 3 of the show, as it was where the Governor, Phillip Blake, was the leader of a community of survivors that would rage war with Rick and the group! Also check out “Nic and Norman’s” if you are ever down in the area. It’s really good!
3. Alexandria Safe Zone
This was quite possibly the most surreal place to stand. We were standing right outside the walls where so much of the story has taken place. This was an amazing experience and I really wish I could have taken pictures inside, but security ended up telling me to go away. Regardless, this was very fun to see in person. It is also right outside of Senoia, which is also known as Woodbury.
4. The Hospital Rick woke up in
The hospital from the series premiere “Days Gone Bye." This was the location where Rick woke up from his coma and was introduced into the Walker infested world that we know and love from the series. In reality, it’s actually an abandoned shelter of some kind.
5. Esco Feed Mill
This feed mill played a key role in negotiations between Woodbury and the Prison group in Season 3. This was mainly “Arrow on the Doorpost” where Rick has a sit down with The Governor to discuss peace options. It is also featured in the opening credits for Seasons 3-5.
Bonus: Terminus
Terminus was the home to a group of Cannibals who lured people in by pretending to be a welcoming community. They were at one point until a group of bandits made them change their ways. This location was used in Season 4 Episode 16: “A” and Season 5 Episode 1 “No Sanctuary."
