(Which reminds me of something that’s always bothered me in the Sports Night episode “The Six Southern Gentlemen of Tennessee”. Executive editor Isaac gives an on-air editorial in support of six football players who refuse to play until their school takes down the Confederate flag they fly in front of the main building. They play for (the fictional) Western Tennessee University, located in…Chattanooga.

A book, set in upstate Washington. In the book, the female lead is a fairly young and naive city woman (too her chagrin, her family calls her "child bride’), not particularly rich or hoity-toity, who follows her husband to start up a chicken farm. Surrounded by forest, and the only neighbors in walking distance are Ma and Pa Kettle.
