Behind the scenes

Fan made map of Maple Court.

  • The street's name was shown in the Magic Box's yellow pages ad. in episode "Shadow".
  • In the DVD commentaries, the producers admit that it's a fairly small street (about the length of the football field) and they've got to use a variety of camera tricks to make it appear longer when necessary.
  • Production designer Carey Meyer has described the development of the street: "The only thing here before I started was a palm tree. Joss [Whedon] had always talked about having a little backyard or a Sunnydale main street [so] I keyed off the Edward Hopper painting of the diner [Nighthawks] and did an illustration of [the Espresso Pump] that looked very much like the Edward Hopper painting. We created this as a little set that had some views out and created little pieces of backings so that we could shoot inside here, looking out at what would one day become our back lot. Then from there through season three, we just kept adding little facades and plugging up little spaces until we [ended up with] this whole little street back here. But it took a full season for that to take place."[41]
