The eccentric spots were mostly in the old houses around center street. I also lived in a place called the castle for a while that was similar, and I lived in a place called the Truman that was really cool back then.
Like I said, it's been a while, so for all I know, the city has torn down all the cool old houses in that area and replaced them with shiny condos. But back then, that's where all the cool kids ran around.
