So where is all this taking place anyway?

Tullburg, PA is the fictitious town where all the main characters are from. It is also home to the St. Anne Academy, a moderately prestigious private all girls catholic school where all the main characters go.

The town is about halfway between Harrisburg and Hollidaysburg, far from any of the highways and surrounded by hills with a mix of farms and forest. It was a junction between two rail lines, but after one line was abandoned after a few mines went dry the town was no longer used as a waystation. It has a small state technical college but is otherwise an unremarkable small town with no remaining major industry.

In part two there is a converted factory where most of the story takes place, just north of Philadelphia. The entire area was largely abandoned as industry left, the owner of this particular factory tried converting it from industrial to more broad public use. It plays host to the occasional convention, conference or club night while most of the rest of the neighborhood sits abandoned which makes it a very appealing option for groups who prefer anonymity.

Starting in part three and later stories you head up to a secluded cabin located just outside Sproul State Forest. The nearest town is 15 miles away, it's several miles outside of the nearest game land where hunters might wander and over a mile from the nearest neighboring house. It is at the bottom of a small hill, and actually extends several acres with a small walking path around the mostly forested property.

There are more locations mentioned later, but I'll save those for then.
