I remember when that was the Fleet Center. I didn't know it had been renamed.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yeah, banks? Not actually as eternal an institution as we once thought!

Well, TD Bank Garden, but they still call it the Garden (damn, I took too long posting!), so wikipedia tells me. Modern day. June.
(ita, close your eyes)
I just want to have it there in the background, something they're hearing from a nearby shop, so that when I get a character actually in it, it'll be known that it's a sports/concert arena, and I'll get to be punny about it being a reference to the Garden in Supernatural's Heaven without having to stop and explain the building too much.
For some random reason (mostly so I don't get called out on inaccuracies) I've been going out of my way to not actually outright say the story is set in Boston (also so that I don't get too hung up on details while still drawing on what's there and what I remember growing up near there).

But you're totally right - it's not the Garden.

Because books.
Everything has a name/corporate sponsor now, and I hate it, too. But I try to console myself by thinking of things like Schlitz Playhouse of Stars and the like.

"...he joined him at the window booth at Halftime Pizza across from the Garden."
Is that clear enough?
And this is why I'm so slow, the things I get hung up on.

Well, it's got to be right! I've spent hours researching things just for plot bunnies, much less things I'm actually writing.

I just don't want to have that one sports fan reading to point out something that I just don't know (and my google fu failed me utterly on this subject) like, say, no sports or concerts indoors at noon.

Because books.
But the thing is, someone will always find something. Always.
Spend your time researching, yes, but spend more time making your voice real and believable, and your pace right.

It's amazing the people we worry about. I'm still waiting for some Renaissance history nut--other than me--to read Nessuno and complain that I got the year wrong that Cesare Borgia gave up his ecclesiastical robes and went back to secular life.
