  It’s a exurb on the outskirts of Minneapolis. Mostly oil refineries but has a private high school with a really good hockey team.

  Not defending this piece of shit, but I grew up next to a town named Farmington, just saying.

    I bet you’ve got some fake-ass cowboy name like “Bi-lly West.”

        That’s a name I haven’t heard in a very long time.

        I met my first love in that world. We lived in the wilderness and made a humble living fishing for crabs. One day I came back from the bank and found her missing, her items in a bundle, signs of a struggle, no replies in her PM. I searched the wastes for days, taking on multiple PvPs for any info about her. Finally, giving in to my grief, I set sail for Teardrop island to begin my fishing career anew, and when I stepped off that boat – there she was, garbed in fishwife attire, macking on that wretched curr McDichel as he enticed her with promises of boats and cider.

        I haven’t logged in since.

  The town I lived in in the US was literally called “Barnes”.
  The town center consisted of a shop called “Jim’s Bait”.

  To be fair, all names are made up, and not just for places. But yes, Farmington is a little more simplistic than say Louisiana.
