The “neighborhood” is as wide as you can walk in a single day. It also has features and landmarks you may recognize if you’ve ever been to NC or know it well. Keep an eye out for your favorite places to go in different seasons!

All can speak the same language.

All are make-believe, imaginary characters and works of fiction.
