Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Trust my rage
That is so cool. Although I swear my Roomba avoids certain areas.

I'm pretty sure my Trixie Belden books got sold in a yard sale. Either that, or there are somewhere in the attic, never to be seen again -- until they sell the house. By which I mean, until I sell the house, because I don't think my parents are planning on moving ever.
My mother got rid of mine sometime after I went to university. Man, I was pissed. I look for them now at yard sales and thrift shops.
I don't know my upstate NY geography that well, but they used to talk about going into White Plains, and I'm pretty sure they were in Westchester Co.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The internet has everything! This article (pdf) talks about TB locales, and includes maps!
Its specific location was intentionally vague but was certainly described to connote the region near Ossining and Crotonville. The nearest large city is White Plains, New York, some 8 to 12 miles southeast of Sleepyside.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I don't know who Trixie Belden or Cherry Ames are.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

White Plains is my hometown. I can remember Trixie going to WP to shop, and wondering why she would bother. Heh.
I don't know my upstate NY geography that well
White Plainsians would not consider their city upstate, since the emotional/fiscal ties are with NYC (not Albany). We're snobs that way. And probably a lot of other ways, too. One of my boyfriends from college used to call WP the land of 3-car garages.
