I made up the name. The town and buildings represent my memories of small town 1950 America, but are based partly on memories I have of Trinidad, Colorado - where my Mother grew up and where I stayed with grandparents for several wonderful weeks each summer growing up. Trinidad, even in the '50s, had "seen better days" as my Dad would often remark.
