“Faking It” may call Austin, Texas home, but it’s nice to know the show’s characters have officially got a place to crash out west.
Last night, MTV’s high school comedy made history when West Hollywood awarded the entire show a key to the city — the first time a whole production has been given the honor. Yup, Mayor John D’Amico and the City Council handed off the shiny instrument to Katie Stevens, Rita Volk, Michael Willett, Gregg Sulkin, Bailey De Young and Executive Producer Carter Covington in the City Council Chambers, and according to a press release, the group was more than deserving.

“A Key to the City is a symbolic honor presented by the City of West Hollywood in recognition of admirable service or valued accomplishment,” the document says, and notes “Faking It”‘s work with The Trevor Project, GLAAD and Advocates for Informed Choice made it an easy pick for the distinction.

So what do you do with access to one of Los Angeles’ most lively neighborhoods? Marvel at it, of course! “it’s so pretty!!!!!! #keytoweho” Katie tweeted while ogling the key. And Gregg, who was ready to celebrate, wrote “Who wants to come for a drink with us in west hollywood?!” Any chance the invitation extends through tonight…?
Whaddya think of these kudos? Sound off, and be sure to tune in to the Season 2 “Faking It” premiere tonight at 10:30/9:30c on MTV!
