    It’s beautiful out there…. but I haven’t figured out where she works….

    In fact someone asked yesterday whether the Garden of Vegan was in New Orleans.I meant to say that, along with the newspaper office, it was much more likely to be in Sebastopol or Santa Rosa CA….

    The street looks like Sebastopol, a small town where vegan cafes, crystal shops and spiritual coaches thrive….but the building looks out of place. We have few storefronts that I know of in either city with upstairs balconies.

    Cartoonistic license, maybe. Spud Point is on the N Cal coast, near Bodega Bay, where The Birds was filmed.

    About 15 miles, but at least half an hour over twisty roads, to Sebastopol, another. easier, 10 to 12 miles to most workplaces in Santa Rosa.

    However, as with all geography in Cartoonland, your mileage may vary.

    Ermal .. I live (and Paige works) in Santa Rosa…. I apparently moved here when you were in grade school.

    I’m not sure what you’re guessing might be on the coast…. but at this juncture in the flashback, we know Jane has just moved to Spud Point… we saw the sign a few days ago.

    On workdays, she often stops for coffee and doughnuts at Dorothy’s bookstore… but is now visiting Skye’s cafe…. so I’d think they’re both close to the newspaper office.

    And from Chelle’s “out”, above, I think they’re all more inland.

    That’s all, of course, only true if Paige is using actual geography, and as I said…. cartoons may take liberties.

    Wow! Thanks! I would have guessed North Platte, Nebraska.

    Or, since we’re apparently in California, just buy a goat.

    Well, at least Chelle has the right shirt on. I’m glad Jane has finally found an authentic home, a trailer.

    Jane’s shirt confused me; thought it was Jill, but with round shades.
