 Did we decide on a setting?  I know we had some great suggestions.
 I kinda liked the truck stop/gas station/diner/souvenir shop thought.
 (That was one of them, right?)

 April has a good energy to it for me.  I also liked the truck stop idea.

 Does that mean we're doing it in Texas?

 I think we should have it just down the road (pick a road) from Midway 
 (211,250 in the US -- 24 in Texas), and "just a ways" from Fairview 
 (201,256 in the US).  I'm also in favor of it being near Five Points 
 (though there's a mere 147,163 of those), just because of the name. 
 Fnord.

 To put it another way, I like the idea that, like Land's End, 
 it's in a lot of different places, depending on where it needs to be...

 ... just a thought.

 I like that idea a lot.  A crossroads of whatever kind it needs to be. 

... and that's how it started.
