United States: Stranger ThingsDowntown Hawkins
The town centre of Jackson in the State of Georgia, USA is where you'll find the remnants of downtown Hawkins. At the corner of 2nd Street and N 42nd Mulberry, you can locate the Radio Shack where Bob works, and also Joyce's workplace - Melvald’s General Store.
The set for Melvald's General Store was installed in the now empty pharmacy on the street corner.
Who could forget the scene when Joyce buys all those Christmas lights in Season 1, Episode 3: Holly Jolly?
The Radio Shack is right next door to Melvald's. Believe it or not, this 80s sign is actually real and not a prop for the show!
Across 2nd Street, in the middle of the square, is the unmistakeable Butts County Courthouse/Probate Court, also known as the Hawkins Library.
The Hawkins Library (aka: Butts County Courthouse).
Continue down 2nd Street until you reach Bradley’s Olde Tavern, location of the Hawkins Movie Theatre which features in Season 1, Episode 6: The Monster.
Pop into the cinema if you're hungry - the tavern serves a Stranger Things burger.
You might remember it was where an angry Steve scrawls these awful words on the cinema marquee.
Outside the cinema Nancy pauses, a look of devastation on her face as she discovers what Steve has written.
Just past the tavern is the alley where Nancy confronts Steve shortly after.
The famed alley...
...where Steve and Jonathan have a fist fight.
