My layout represents the outskirts of the town of Serling (after Rod Serling) on the Hobb Creek subdivision. Hobb being loosely translated from Old English as something that goes bump in the night. (like a hobbgoblin) I'd like to eventually expand the layout to include the towns of Ellison (Harlan Ellison) and King. (Stephen King) <br /> <br />Not that I'm the first person to use hobb in the name of a place where things aren't quite right. The movie "In the Mouth of Madness" mostly took place in the fictional village of Hobbs End, and one or two older British movies featured a street named Hobbs Lane. (Though, I have reason to believe there used to be a real Hobbs Lane, but it has long since been renamed.)
