Rennerdale...East of Hollywood but West of Pittsburgh...

Rennerdale is a tiny town just outside of Carnegie, PA, which is just outside of Pittsburgh. It's one of those "blink and you'll miss it" kind of places. I'd only gotten to know it at all when I moved out to the country a few years back and found it a handy detour around construction on the Parkway West.

If Pittsburgh has (slightly) become "Hollywood East" over the last two years, Rennerdale has become a common small-town location for filming in Western Pennsylvania.

A year ago last spring, some scenes for Shelter were shot on the Rennerdale section of the Panhandle Trail.

This spring, a wedding scene for the CBS pilot Three Rivers was shot at the Presbyterian Church.

Today, I took the back way to Pittsburgh and saw signs indicating Warrior was shooting in the area.
