In the 6/7/91 _Wall_Street_Journal_, there's an article about various
businesses in Washington state that have made money off "Twin Peaks" and
are sorry to see it off the air--the Mar-T "Double R Diner" Cafe in
North Bend, for example, and the Alpine Blossom & Gift Shoppe in
Snoqualmie (who peddle logs for $3.95 to $5.95 a pop).  But not every
establishment in the "real Twin Peaks" is sad to see the show leave,
apparently: "The posh Salish Lodge, which appears as the show's Great
Northern Hotel, shied away from selling lowbrow bric-a-bric.  'You just
never know if a TV show will remain popular,' sniffs manager Loy Helmly.
'We're here for the long run.'"

(Do you suppose Loy Helmly is related to Leona Helmsley?)

"Lowbrow bric-a-brac," oh?  My official Twin Peaks Sheriff's Dept.
coffee mug is most offended.
