Mack Blake's trailer 
Santa Barbara

 Home   This page in English  

Shortly after his arrival in Santa Barbara, Mack Blake settles down in a trailer, installed in the middle of others in border of a road (we hear a permanent and intense traffic since the inside).

We enter it by a metallic semi-glazed door, which gives access to the main room constituted by the kitchen on the left and by the lounge onto the right. A sofa bed thrones there, which will serve as accommodation for the temporary and more regular guests : indeed, in March, 1990, Mack welcomes without choice his mother Phyllis, his sister Gina and his nephew Brandon, all without a home after the fire of the Lockridge villa where they lived.

The inside of the trailer is rather modest. The decoration is very simple and without too much taste, to strengthen the male side of the place and the representation of the state of poverty in which Gina and Phyllis are then.

The kitchen side opens on an impressive fridge of yellow color, which precedes the kitchen sink and the embedded oven. All this frames a small square table, on which the Blakes eat and spend most of their time.

We shall see in a very punctual way two other rooms of the trailer : Mack's bedroom and the bathroom.

At Mack's departure, Gina will continue to live in her brother's trailer with Brandon. While it seemed inert in its trailer park, it will be used by Gina to go to Mexico in search of Keith Timmons. Gina will give up the trailer as soon as she will have found her ex-husband.
