creative exercise (worldbuilding?)

[Buttercup]

In my town and general vicinity:

The Green Frog (bar and grill)
Fox Island (nature preserve)
Wizards' Stadium (our minor league baseball team's home)
The Old Fort (it's, like, an Old Fort!)
The Thirsty Camel (a really bad restaurant downtown)
Limberlost Swamp
Spy Run (this is a creek that is the route a double-crossing spy named William Wells took to run away from the Indians and the US Soldiers who both wanted a piece of him.)
Naked Clay Cafe (Don't ask me, I've never gone there. I don't think it has to do with alsih2o!)

Then there's this butt-ugly second had clothing shop. It's painted two shades of pink--the color of raw pork and the color of Pepto Bismol. I have no idea what the name of the place is, but the building is such an eyesore that it ought to be good for something. A poison factory, maybe.

where are you, and what near you sounds like or has the ambience of a game spot.

Well, I can look out the window and see Lake Erie a couple of miles away...

The town I grew up in has some hills with glacial deposits all over 'em that the locals have always called the Table Rocks. What if some of those 'deposits' were actually the remains of an old giant keep?

Ack!

Let's see... we have a bar named Boneshakers, could be a good hangout for necros. Weaver D's might specialize in robes and magical clothing. Just a short drive out of town is Shaking Rock. And of course there's the Tree That Owns Itself.

OMG. I've been to Boneshakers. Necro's aren't nearly as scary as the boy-butant ball that happens there every year. And the tree is really a neat sort of story. And don't forget about the Junkman's Daughter. Man I miss Athens.

I'm going to have to find some interesting places around town now. Best I can do atm is a bar named Dewclaw (which always reminded me of talking dogs for some reason )
