Travel Guide
Larson (Fictional)
Midwest America (c) Google
Larson is a town reeling in the wake of the Vietnam draft, where the unrelenting heat ruins the harvest, and the people teeter on the edge of ruin.
“Larson was one of a hundred small towns in the middle of the Corn Belt though it was on its way to being something more. Just last week a 7 -Eleven shot up in the trodden-down ,boarded up laundromat, giving the place new life and a brisk trade that upset Al Westin. “We’re a flyover town in a spit-on state, Rudy always said.”
“We’re a big-heart town, Mrs Lyle from the past office would say”
