Fall is finally here, so we're taking a little trip to Stars Hollow, CT, to talk about the inns that provide a backdrop, back story, and realized dream for Lorelai Gilmore; her daughter, Rory; and her best friend, Sookie St. James – the Independence and Dragonfly Inns. We'll also give a little history on the Mayflower Inn in Washington, CT, which helped inspire the show’s creator. We may get sidetracked by the many psychological (and financial) issues facing the characters of this beloved show, so bear with us.
