It's called Zero Avenue. The basic premise is about the lives of several families who live along a street block, but it's not any ordinary block. Zero Avenue is the border between the United States (Washington) and Canada (British Columbia). It's common in the show for people on one side of the border to talk to or throw something to someone on the other side, but it's illegal to cross the street without going through a border checkpoint. This is a common theme of drama in the show.

Basically the show is a normal sitcom/drama with the typical plots you find in those kind of shows, but a unique thing about it is this street that's forbidden to cross and also how the families live literally right next to each other but have many different viewpoints because on one side they're Americans and on the other they're Canadians. The show would also have a mixed American/Canadian cast of actors. It would essentially highlight the similarities and differences between the people of both sides of the Pacific Northwes

I really like this idea...
Do you live in the NW?.. is why you have this particular idea setting? I'm a writer, trying to work with just other aspies, and trying to make videos/film, and I'm moving to Seattle in a couple of weeks, so that's why I ask.

I do actually, I live in Portland. I went to Vancouver BC last month and that's really what inspired the idea.

i know that there is a real town split by the border. yup, it actually exists. i remember seeing someone saying they lived on one side, but work was on the other side.

You're thinking of Blaine/White Rock right?
