“We should all move here and start the revolution,” Hannah Horvath declares of... Iowa. The 4th season of Girls premieres on January 11th, and a lengthy trailer was just released, bringing Lena Dunham's character to the midwest for a writing program. Except since they weren't allowed to film at the University of Iowa; Brooklyn’s Ditmas Park is filling in.
An Iowa blog had compared Google street views, and approved: "Ditmas Park is lined with Victorian-style homes dating back to the early 20th century and, in many ways, resembles Iowa City quite closely.” Can you tell them apart?:
Anyway, here's Hannah, "taking the next step, in a series of random steps."
