In the first episode, "Crossings", Tom attends a local career fair filmed at Neumann University in Aston.
The scene takes place in a multi-purpose facility called the Mirenda Center for Sport, Spirituality, and Character Development.

There have already been accidents. In 2019, a man died after jumping off a cliff into the quarry.

Does anyone know where Cliff's house is? They referred to 122 Mason Avenue, and the only one I know is Drexel Hill. The house they raided is definitely not on that street.

"Locust Lake" is Marsh Creek Lake. "Rt 100" is a combination of Rt 30 around Exton and Downingtown with a few shots of the PA Turnpike thrown in. Ironically, the scene where Robbie exits off of Rt 100 onto a side road, they're actually exiting onto the real Rt 100.

That quarry is at Sixpenny Creek near French Creek State Park. It’s called Dyer’s Quarry. I’ve been there myself, way before this show was filmed, and have photos that match some of the shots from the top of the quarry looking down to the bottom.
