Hey, Teen Wolf fandom. If you like to stalk the show’s sets or know someone who does, please let them know to be very, very careful when parking around the school it’s filmed at (Palisades Charter High School). I don’t actually know if there is still any school set filming left to be done, but if there is, be careful!

The street bordering the school has free and ‘unlimited’ (neither timed nor zoned) parking, but people avoid parking there because cars get broken into all the time, there. (I had a $1500 part stolen from my car when I was parked there several years ago.)

Normally, people like to get around it by parking in the local residential neighborhoods and business districts. However, due to a combination of reduced parking space (from all the infrastructure damage resulting from the recent rainstorms) to just straight up gentrification/increasing numbers of retired yuppies, there have been a lot of severe parking crack-downs in the local areas.

Much of this is very recent, happening in the last few months, so even if you have a place where you used to park when set-stalking for seasons prior, it may not be safe to park there, now. I got my car towed because the nose of my car - not even the front half, just the nose of it - was in a no-parking zone, and this was in less than two hours from when I parked there! A lot of employees in the local businesses have also had increasing parking problems, and the property managers have been cracking down on their “customers only” rules - some of them literally hire people to watch the parking lot and make sure that only actual customers are parking there.

I love Teen Wolf, too, but it’s not worth the several hundred dollars and weeks’ worth of stress that comes with even the tiniest parking infractions.

Also, just be careful when driving around the area in general. The school itself has been having some water and sewage problems due to a broken water main, not to mention power outages. (My little brother has been home quite a bit, lately, and this is a school that kept me and my classmates in class even after the power went out and there were wildfires less than two miles from campus, so this is really saying something!) There has been a LOT of infrastructure damage in the area due to all the rainstorms, which is not only compounding the aforementioned parking problems, but has made some of the surrounding roads difficult to drive (I’ve hydroplaned twice in the last week).
