Then you go "the town" instead of "this town" or "that" town. That's how Steinbeck would have played it as well. It absloutely sings, this sentence.

LMAO. What a fantastic post. Smoot's post was great, and this literary analysis is great. That was the hardest I've laughed on The Warpath in a while. Well done, fellas. Well done indeed.
