What I'm mostly worried about is geographical/practical stuff. Like; does this city have suburbs? How far are they from the center? Where would you eat for cheap? Where to hang out if you're young? etc.

yes! i'm very worried about that, especially the kind of thing you'd have to be a local to know. it's making me want to create a fictional city just to avoid dealing with it.

American sitcoms do that too though, Bayside from Saved by the Bell takes place in California but otherwise is fictitious and same with Stonybrook from the Babysitters Club books where it's in Connecticut but otherwise fictitious.

So ask here! There've been some really useful "local culture details" thread before, I'm sure everyone would have fun with another.

Just ask! Most likely, someone here can tell you general stuff *and* specific stuff. Otherwise - say you write about New York or something - most of us won't know the diff, because we're not *from* there.

Or just make a up a town. We have plenty. :)

Pretty sure if you asked someone here, they'd be willing to help out. Even if I don't know the fandom, I'd be willing to help out if I knew the area.
