'''Lawndale''' is the suburb in which the events of the ''Daria'' TV series take place. Maps of the region may be found in ''[[The Daria Diaries]]'' ("Welcome to Lawndale") and online at MTV's Virtual Lawndale webpage (see "External Links").
 
For a small and apparently dull suburb, Lawndale boasts its own corporatebusiness park, the upper-class prep schoola [[Fielding|prep school]] and, a country club, and a [[Middleton College|small liberal arts college]]. However, locations such as [[Lawndale State University|its]] own("[[Is universityIt College Yet?]]") and the Payday warehouse store ("[[Mart of Darkness]]") only appear in one-time episodes, and aren't necessarily considered "normal" locations in Lawndale.
 
Lawndale dates back to colonial times: a newspaper article seen briefly in "[[See Jane Run]]" mentions roadworks on North Avenue found that "the street lies over a pre-revolutionary Dutch Orthodox cemetery" (presumably meaning Dutch followers of an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Orthodox_Churches orthodox church], not the name of the sect).
 
The not-known-for sure city of which Lawndale is a suburb is only actually seen once in the series. Lawndale lacks tall buildings, but in [[Is It College Yet?]] when Mack goes to visit [[Andrew Landon|Jodie's father]], there are tall buildings seen out of the very high window of Mr. Landon's office. This location must be close to Lawndale because Mack came by to visit him before school.

The location of Lawndale is endlessly debated, and even [[Glenn Eichler]] wouldn't commit to an answer beyond the mid-Atlantic states:
