What is New Baytown?

New Baytown is Ethan's home town, and he has only left it to go to Harvard and off to war. Its gradual seedy decline, as compared to neighboring towns, is a result of the town, like Ethan, dwelling on the past, living in its history, and not making progress towards the modern future. It is a simple town with generic street names, Elm Street, High Street, and others, and is populated with standard characters. It is not a large town, but evil people like Baker and his associates have designs on bringing New Baytown into the future by cheating Danny Taylor out of his land and placing an airport there.
