Is that a real house or something on a backlot?

Totally real. It's in Jim Thorpe, PA next to the Asa Packer Mansion. I think the house had a special name but it escapes me.

There's a place called Jim Thorpe?

Usually when places are named after people they just use the last name.

theWatusi · #**758** Posted **Jun 19, 2009, 11:52 PM**

It used to be called Mauch Chunk, but it was renamed in the 50's after the famous Olympic Medalist Thorpe. It's actually a really neat little town.

Pretty sharp, isn't it? Hard to believe it's a frat house but the frat boys seem to keep the old girl in good repair.
I pass that house every day on my way to and from work.

Jim Thorpe played football here for a season or two in the early 1920's for the Rock Island Independants (early NFL). He really got around.

Ummmm, yeah, I guess this was thier logo.
