Basically, if an American film or TV show doesn't take place in a famous big city, it will be set in some version of Everytown, America. Everytown, America is a usually fictional town or small city containing pastel suburbs, a single elementary/High School (depending how old the main characters are) with the same name as the town, and a main street or town square of some kind. Everyone likes hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet. Mandatory attire is flannel with blue jeans, or a bolo tie if you're rich. Most people will be friendly except for the Pointy-Haired Boss, the Alpha Bitch or the Jerk Jock. Anyone worse than that will be an invader from some big city or The Government. It is often a Close-Knit Community, and almost Everyone Went to School Together. Usually (though not always), the members of this community identify as (or are at least implied to be) some variety of Christian, and they all attend the same church. Where is Everytown? Well obviously it's in Eagleland, but if the specific state is given at all, it's particularly likely to be somewhere in New England, the Great Lakes States, or the rural South. Expect it to have hot summers all abuzz with cicadas, and snow on Christmas. Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here (or at least it didn't until the aliens / vampires / witches / commies / weirdos showed up). The town's history, if discussed at all, will probably be very simple (usually it will have been named after whoever founded it — there might be a statue of him) and everyone living there will be familiar with the story. The characters may become routinely involved in city affairs, which will usually consist of convincing the city council not to tear down some historic building or to clean up the local park so all the children can happily play there. The townsfolk can cause it to be a Quirky Town, but just about everybody you meet will be friendly and polite. It's usually the home of The All-American Boy and the Girl Next Door. For such an average place, Everytown seems to become a City of Adventure surprisingly often, and occasionally masks a Town with a Dark Secret. If featured in a TV series fond of Special Guests, celebrities may visit the town a disproportionate number of times. To be fair, there are a lot of towns like this in the U.S.A. (particularly from New England to the Midwest), so there's Truth in Television. However, it also taps into a very powerful vein of nostalgia about what kind of town many Americans wish they lived in. Together with Down on the Farm, this is one of the main components of Flyover Country, though that trope is usually more dismissive than idealized. The Idyllic English Village is the equivalent trope in works set in England. See also Where the Hell Is Springfield?, with which this trope often overlaps. Contrast with No Communities Were Harmed, which involves a fictionalized version of a specific real city, and Informed Location, in which a real location is mentioned but irrelevant. If the character goes to an equally vague business in this town, then it's a Business of Generic Importance. |

Life Is Strange 2 initially averts this trope, with the start of the story taking place in suburban Seattle. However, the Road Trip Plot of the season eventually leads the protagonists to several of these, the most classic example being the aforementioned Beaver Creek in Episode 2. | |

Mainhead in Colossal is this, contrasting with the opening scenes set in New York and the monster scenes set in downtown Seoul. Apparently there's one bar, one convenience store, one school, one playground, and everyone knows each other. This is a shockingly dark version of this trope, as characters see being stuck in Mainhead for their entire lives as a sign of failure due to how small and dull it is. | |

Arlen, Texas, a fictional suburb of Dallas, from King of the Hill. In fact, subverting this trope is where the episode dealing with Arlen's founding gets most of its humor from. Arlen was originally known as Harlottown, named after the brothel it was founded around, which is a far cry from its current Everytown image. Hank Hill is not pleased when the city decides to push this angle to promote tourism. |

Boxwood Terrace from Ready Jet Go!, located in Washington State. It has a retro-futuristic 1950s-60s vibe to it. The architecture screams 50s but the town is also a hotbed of scientific research, and happens to have an alien family living in it. Despite the sci-fi elements and the Eccentric Townsfolk, it's just like any other American town. | |

The Knight Before Christmas is set in the fictional Bracebridge, Ohio where time traveling knight Sir Cole Christopher Fredrick Lyons ends up in 2019 rather than his hometown and time of Norwich, 1334. This was filmed in a real city called Bracebridge in Canada. The movie presents it as a smallish town with a diner, a high school where Brooke Winters the other protagonist works as a science teacher, a supermarket and a community centre where Brooke volunteers as well as having it's own Christmas festival and a police department. | |

"Small Town" by John Mellencamp is ostensibly about his native Seymour, Indiana, but honestly it could as well be anywhere given how universal the lyrics are. | |

[Undisclosed] in John Dies at the End, which is distinguished only by having a considerably higher than average population of the mentally ill. The film version features scenes at the abandoned Shorewood (Illinois) mall, implying that the main plot takes place approximately an hour's drive southwest of Chicago in the vicinity of Joliet. | |

The town in Edward Scissorhands is like this trope (except for the out-of-place Gothic mansion on a hill in the centre, and the fact that some people are not as nice as they seem in the beginning). | |

Hill Valley, California in the Back to the Future films, especially when we see it in 1955, when the film goes out of its way to flood viewers with as much '50s Americana imagery as possible.

Daredevil (2015): Karen comes from Fagan Corners, Vermont, a town she describes on her first date with Matt as being less than 400 people and where the most ethnic food was french fries. She doesn't like talking about her life before she came to the big city, given what happened that caused her to leave town: she was an addict, shagging a dealer named Todd Neeman, and who deferred going to Georgetown twice because she knew her father and brother wouldn't be able to run the family diner without her. One night, after a heated argument, her brother burned down Todd's trailer and Karen shot Todd with the gun in his truck as he tried to kill Kevin with a tire iron. While driving home with Kevin afterwards, Karen took her eyes off the road to argue with him at a bad time and ended up crashing into the guardrail of a bridge, flipping the car over several times and killing Kevin (while high, which didn't help). | |

Real-life versions of this sort of place are beloved by market researchers and political pollsters searching for a representative cross-section of the American populace. The city of Peoria, Illinois is probably the most famous for this, serving as the origin of the vaudeville-era phrase "will it play in Peoria?", while Muncie, Indiana was the site of the Middletown studies in the 1920s and '30s that played a major role in shaping sociologal research for decades to come. More recently, small cities like Albany, New York; Boise, Idaho; Greensboro, North Carolina; and Santa Barbara, California have become popular as Everytowns, America for this purpose. | |

The Human Comedy is set in Ithaca, CA, a fictional small town with a stereotypical Main Street and small independently owned stores, the kind of town where a kid who's lost in the street is immediately recognized and sent back to his brother. It also has a surprisingly variegated mix of ethnicities, including Russians, Hispanics, and Greeks. This is because the whole movie is a propaganda effort encouraging American patriotism and participation in World War II. | |

Big Cherry in The Minutes is initially presented as such — a quaint, beautiful town that the unassuming Mr. Peel moves his family to for the safety and sense of community — until it's revealed to be a Town with a Dark Secret. | |

The Dreamside Road has Nimauk, an average rural American town for most of the year that becomes widely relevant during the ten day Wintertide Festival. The story hints that Greenwell was this, before being morphed into Fort Mayhill by societal destabilization. |

The main setting of The Evil Within 2 is Union, a Mental World designed by MOBIUS to evoke this trope in an effort to keep the test subjects calm and complacent as part of their scheme to Take Over the World. That is until Stefano, Theodore and Myra's collective psychosis pollute the carefully constructed mindscape, slowly turning it from this to a Town with a Dark Secret, devolving into an Eldritch Location Monster Town before it collapses entirely. | |

American Girl averts this for all but a few historical characters. Samantha initially lives in New Bedford, NY, which is based on the real town of Mount Kisco and named after the nearby town of Bedford. Molly lives in Jefferson, Illinois. Courtney lives in Orange Valley, CA, which is based on the San Fernando Valley. |

As Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer! demonstrates, many bar examination questions set themselves in fictional everytowns with few specified geographical features beyond the state itself. On a wider scale, questions that ask hypotheticals about federal law are sometimes set in fictional everystates for similar purposes. The Anytown, OH that most of the Let's Play's questions take place in qualifies more as a City of Adventure and Cloudcuckooland than a true everytown, though. | |
