Love “Legacies”? Come Visit the Filming Locations!

Aug 30, 2022 | 0 comments

The “Originals” spin-off “Legacies” came to a bittersweet end this summer, and we can’t deny that we’ll miss watching the show and mingling with the cast and crew around town. But while we can’t change the decision to re-air the show, we can still enjoy a little piece of “Legacies” that lives on here in Conyers!

If you didn’t know, “Legacies” did a lot of filming between Conyers and Covington because their studio was in town! So if you aren’t ready to let go of “Legacies” yet, here are a few places you can visit to relive the magic.

909 Commercial St NE. Conyers, GA 30012.

The Awake Coffee Shop on Commercial Street doubled as Seylah’s Corner Coffee in Season 1, Episode 8.

Carter’s Aly

Carter’s Aly is a side street in Conyers used in both “Originals” and “Legacies.” On more than one occasion, crews decked out Carter’s Aly with fake arches to resemble Mystic Falls during “Legacies.”

Railroad Street and Center Street

The street next to our Welcome Center and Olde Towne’s main thoroughfare were frequently featured in outdoor scenes–after being doctored up with sets, of course! Center Street is especially recognizable, even without the facades, because it appeared many times in “Originals” as the New Orleans hub.

The Sandwich Shop

1795 Parker Rd SE 150, Conyers, GA 30094

Another “Originals” throwback, The Sandwich Shop, was used as the façade of Rousseau’s in the episode when Lizzie’s genie wish sends Hope back to New Orleans. (Season 1, Episode 10)
