Where are Palos Hills and San Pedro?
In Awkward, the main location is the Palos Hills High School. Is this Palos Hills, Illinois, near Chicago?
In the double episode Snow Job (season 4), the town name San Pedro (or Saint Pedro?) is mentioned. It is the place where Eva grew up, actually her grandmother's place. Is it in California, to the South of Los Angeles? Or is there a town or maybe just a district called that name nearby the main location Palos Hills?
Best Answer
It’s Palos Verdes Estates, CA. Based on Palos Verdes High School (I went to school there). San Pedro is about 20 minutes away from PV and is considered “sketchy” by PV people, like in the show.

Answer 2
I can answer the first one because I lived very close to it. Yes, there is a Palos Hills near Chicago, it is a suburb on the southwest side. There is no "Palos Hills High School" as far as I know though, the only high school in Palos Hills is Stagg. Which makes sense since I doubt the show could use a real high school's name.
I can answer the second as well, because Google exists. There is a San Pedro in the Los Angeles area of California. In fact it looks to be within the city of Los Angeles itself. I certainly do not know of any San Pedro around Palos Hills / Chicago, and I know most of the cities around here. In fact "San" as part of a city name is not a Chicago thing at all, it's a California thing based on Spanish ministries, so it is safe to say that they are not referring to anything in the Chicago area with this one.
