Arby's - Who knew hookers loved roast beef?

View Strange Valley in a larger map

From time to time, like any ordinary man, I am overcome by the urge for piping hot and sloppy roast beef sammiches. Like any ordinary man, I go to Arby's to fulfill those needs. Arby's is rather unremarkable in this fashion. This Arby's, however, is special. It seems to have a hooker infestation. From time to time, I'll find a middle aged women in various states of withdrawal, often with a bent Virginia slim and hot pink stretch pants, waiting for her own special meat ride in the drive-thru.

GameDude - the neckbeard menageri

This is the largest video game retailer in the valley. As you would expect, you can buy, sell, & trade video games. This type of business attracts a certain kind of clientele, and that clientele is rife with neckbeards. Sometimes I pretend to browse, just so I can observe the wildlife in it's natural habitat, it is truly a strange and beautiful sight. Also, they have a mustache vending machine, not the finest facial hair to be found, but it will do in a pinch.

Ernies Mexican Restaurant - Home of the skylab burrito

Ernie's is pretty generic as far as the food goes, save for one special item, the "Skylab Burrito". It's gigantic, and stuffed with meat. I consider this to be the single most important contribution to science the Mexican Space program has ever made.

The decor is mildly erotic, strategically deployed skating rink rope lights set the mood for love. Be warned, there is a resident band of mariachis, and they mean business. How do I know they mean business? They all wear professional "mariachi pants", and those things ain't cheep.
