[ghostjmf]

10K: Well, Wysteria Lane is Desperate Housewives, I think Port Charles was Dynasty. I don't/didn't watch either, but know that. Unfortunately I don't watch "All My Children" either, & don't know its town. Good candidate for ATA, even though 50/50 of course would give me certainty. But would be burning it too early.

Otherwise so far so good

[jarnon]

Port Charles is General Hospital. Pine, Valley, Pa. is named after Penn Valley, a few miles from here. Agnes Nixon, the creator of All My Children, lives around here.
