Uh, Alan, AP style calls for a space before and after the ellipsis (space period period period space), therefore:
"nope ... for real ..."

(FWIW, the Chicago Manual of Style calls for: space period space period space period space, therefore: "nope . . . for real . . ." Since you're in the publishing world, I assume that you use AP style.)

Back to the original topic. Tripoli Road in northern New Hampshire is pronounced "triple-eye," because it is named after the mineral Tripoli—again, triple-eye—which is also known as diatomaceous earth. If you follow that link you will see that the Livermore Tripoli Company was service by the Woodstock and Thornton Gore RR.
