Blondie Street (Warner Bros Ranch)

The place

Blondie Street was a residential street set of the Warner Bros Ranch (formerly Columbia Ranch), located at 411 North Hollywood Way in Burbank, California, about a mile and a half north of the main Warner studio. Developed by Columbia Pictures, it takes its name from the "Blondie" film series, adapted from Chic Young's comic strip, whose suburban house was reconstructed on the ranch to facilitate filming. The set consisted of a curved path lined with about a dozen pavilions of various styles surrounding a large central park, complemented by a small brick church with a steeple. For decades, these façades served as the backdrop for countless suburban neighborhood scenes in American cinema and television, including iconic houses such as that of "Bewitched" or "Dennis the Menace." Following the announcement of the ranch's sale in 2019 (for the benefit of real estate developers), the street was demolished in October 2023 to make way for new filming stages.
