Indiana: Eerie and Hawkins (in order of age). Centerpoints for very weird crap. One is more of a hodge-podge gumbo of weird, anything from aliens up to Elvis being alive and Bigfoot is a trash-stealer to retainers that can translate dog-speak if the poor guy wearing them stands under power lines, and the other... well... when Hounds of Tindalos want to appear on the "real world" and they don't feel like going all the way to New England, they pop up over there.
Also, buildings from Hawkins have appeared on suburban Atlanta. Because the place needed more monsters (and it only had to deal before with the DC Universe demons, and the two varieties of zombie (TWD *AND* L4D), the crazy Atlant(e)ans that want to flood the city or rip it off its moorings and toss it into the Atlantic, the occasional appearance of a COBRA base, the occasional HYDRA attack, and ALL of the crazy crap that targets the Diggers family... so, yeah, the fraking Demogorgon should be easy-peasy, right?).
Hawkins... well... it's a city from the Eighties tossed smack in the middle of modern day. So talking native tech stuff is like, what, someplace on the mid-end of PL5 in there? Sure, more modern-day tech is going in, but... well, dunno... maybe the electromagnetic interference of the Upside-Down's constantly-appearing portals is so strong that it takes some hefty shielding to prevent EMP damage? Or, dunno, the CLULESS Virus likes to do crazy modding stuff like it happened with London and its Steampunk makeover, so inside the town all super-tech gadgets that easier to acquire work as they would on the rulebook, but they are all moulded on an Eighties lens (like 4G cell phones that look, at their SMALLEST, like the Motorola DynaTAC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_DynaTAC). Phasers are easier to get looking like the ST:TNG props. Cybertronian technology is as clunky as you would expect considering it's Generation One and can do everything that you would expect "state-of-the-art" (by Transformers definition) computers to do, even if they are running their idea of BASIC--the list goes on).
So, yeah, just binged both seasons. I am nuts.
