			==Overview==
			There are two interpretations here: the small city or suburb in the US "flyover", somewhat remote and susceptible to advertising agencies on the northeast and southwest coasts (originally my concept), or the really insignificant Scrotesque backwater suggested by [[User:AgProv\|AgProv]]. I'm not that confident in mine any more. --[[User:Old Dickens\|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens\|talk]]) 04:11, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
