Village of Spikerton

Spikerton was named for Man's Best friend, now passed.  Spike was a far better "person" than most people are.  Spikerton is a suburb of Annenell, located just to the south of that City.  There's a flag stop station at Spikerton for both the locals and the workers at local businesses.

Spikerton has a small business district and two major industrial enterprises: El Guapo Coal Mine and Gutten-Berg Printing and Publishing Company, Inc.  Also located in the central business district are the Phleebag Arms Hotel and Saloon.  The Hotel's distinction is cheap rooms and free bed bugs - an attraction for anyone staying here.
