I would use Peyton Place.
Never fails….Second time’s the charm. Thanks.
Okay, what’s up? I’m missing something here.
LOL. Sex lies and videotapes my dear. I’ll have something tomorrow.
Peyton Place = novel, film, soap opera, although the back story has the title being based upon Payton, TX.
The fictional Peyton Place is a composite of several real New Hampshire towns: Gilmanton, Gilford, Laconia, Manchester and Plymouth where at least some of the work was written in the Plymouth Inn on Main Street. The inn has since been torn down. Grace Metalious and her husband George first considered Potter Place (the name of a real community near Andover, New Hampshire). Realizing their town should have a fictional name, they looked through an atlas and found Payton (the name of a real town in Texas). They combined that with Place and changed the “a” to an “e”. Thus, Peyton Place was created, prompting her comment, “Wonderful—that’s it, George. Peyton Place. Peyton Place, New Hampshire. Peyton Place, New England. Peyton Place, USA. Truly a composite of all small towns where ugliness rears its head, and where the people try to hide all the skeletons in their closets.”
Payton Place = Jazz trumpeter Nicholas Payton’s 1998 album “Payton’s Place.” From that album “The Three Trumpeters” (trumpet: Nicholas Payton,Wynton Marsalis, Roy Hargrove.)
