The Blue Star Diner. Abandoned since 2010, but forever tied to 1980s film history, David Lynch, and Isabella Rossellini. Parts of the 1988 drama Zelly & Me were filmed right here in my backyard of Newport News, Virginia. I took my grad school graduation photos here years before I knew this, it just always called to me. I have a full story on this diner’s connection to Lynch & myself pinned on my page. #davidlynch #southerngothic #filmhistory #filmlocation #virginia
