A horrible dead end place where you'll be constantly suffocated by snow or the most disheartening form of human apathy imaginable. Every store here is a filthy, run down, redneck variant of it's other US counterparts. And at every turn in your life, the people that run half of them find new ways to fail you. The population consists of entirely of miserable boring old people and the poor misfortune souls who'd rather be somewhere else. Nobody grows into anything here, nobody is visibly happy, nobody has anywhere to go or meet up. You have potholes and shoprites almost exclusively. The people here almost seem like they're waiting to die and preoccupy the time they have alive completely deadened. Like these small towns are some sort of living lovecraftian entity that feeds off the shattered dreams and boredom of their residents until they are reduced to crumbling husks who just don't care about anything anymore. Deciding to screw over every other person around.
And Frodo drew his eyes to the proximal left of Sauron's Tower, upon the sad and dreary state of the Poconos. To see century old goblins with rotting teeth and glazed over eyes, bartering money for broken yet overpriced products and still he chose to walk up the volcano because the alternative just wasn't worth it.
