The Talon apartment was a studio apartment at the top of Smallville's Talon coffeehouse.

Physical Appearance[]

The Talon apartment is located upstairs from the Talon's entrance lounge, which was converted into a spacious coffeehouse in 2002. The only access into the residential apartment is from a curved staircase that ascends from the coffeehouse seating area.

The studio apartment is furnished minimally and has two stained glass front windows facing the Main Street. The walls are turquoise with colored squares, and is adorned with posters of classic movies (probably dating from the time when the Talon was a movie theater). The entrance door is located to the right side of the back wall, opening rightwards and facing into the kitchen/dining area at the center of the apartment. The kitchen has a small countertop opposite a dining table just to the left of the door, and some shelves against the front wall for storage. The kitchen bench appears to contain a small sink, stove and some small appliances. THowever, there does not appear to be a refrigerator.

To the left of the kitchen is the living lounge, and there is an additional side room/walk-in storage closet on the back of the living room.[1] In the middle of the lounge is a futon that improvises as a bed on occasions, located in front of a window overlooking the neon signs on the outside of the building. It also has an old-fashioned furnace that heats the apartment.

The bedroom area is located to the right of the kitchen area, behind the swung-open entrance door, with no real partitions separating it from the kitchen and lounge area. There is a queen-size bed against the side wall in the middle of the bedroom, with night tables on both sides. To the left side of the bed (towards the back wall, where the door is) there is ample room for a cabinet, a tallboy, a floor lamp and an armchair.

Known Residents[]

Lanaadamtalon

Lana and Adam in the unrenovated Talon apartment.

Initially, the apartment was an unrenovated space above the coffee shop. Lana offered it to the Kents when they were about to lose their farm, but Lex Luthor saved them by buying the farm and giving them the deed.

  • Adam Knight: In 2004, Lana Lang finally renovated the apartment when Adam Knight stated that he had nowhere to live.
  • Lana Lang: After Lana left to attend school in Paris, Lex decided to close down the Talon. However, Lana abruptly and urgently returned to Smallville three months later, and rented the apartment.
  • Lois Lane: When Lana moved into the dorms at Metropolis University, Lois Lane rented the apartment. As Jonathan Kent's campaign manager, Lois hosted his election victory party at the Talon in January 2006.
  • Chloe and Lois: The events of Dark Thursday caused the Metropolis University dorms to close, so Lois shared the apartment with her cousin Chloe Sullivan for over two years. At the time, Chloe Sullivan and Lois Lane were both Daily Planet journalists who had written articles attacking LuthorCorp. Despite Lex Luthor's position as their landlord, he did not object to their staying in the Talon apartment. That said, he was not above abusing his position as their landlord to excuse snooping in the Talon apartment.
  • Chloe and Jimmy: Lois moved out of the Talon when Chloe's fiancé Jimmy Olsen moved in. Chloe and Jimmy were the residents of the Talon until their wedding. When Lana Lang returned to Smallville for a short time in 2009, she stayed with Chloe in the apartment while Jimmy was still in the hospital. However, the relationship was unable to sustain Jimmy's severe injury and Jimmy did not return after leaving the hospital. In order to be close to Chloe, Davis Bloome took up residence in the basement of the Talon. Later, shortly before Jimmy was killed by Davis, Jimmy revealed to Chloe that he had purchased a loft apartment for the two of them to live in.
  • Chloe and Lois: However, as of 2010, Chloe and Lois were still depicted as living in the apartment together. In Warrior, Lois' clothing is still in the closets, her Xbox was still hooked up to the television, and Chloe took Stephen to the apartment as if it were hers. Additionally, Chloe told Courtney in Smallville: Absolute Justice that the Watchtower was business headquarters only, insinuating that she did not live there.
  • Cat Grant: When Lois moved to Egypt and Chloe went missing, Clark let Cat Grant stay at the apartment when her life was in danger from Deadshot.
