[[Image:Terrainchange.jpg|thumb|right|The Fremont Town Line]]Fremont is a town 100 miles (and several hours' drive) from [[Lawndale]] and in a different state. It was the setting for "[[Speedtrapped]]". |
||
It appears to be nearer than [[Swedesville]]. We're told it's even ''duller'' than Lawndale is. |

The vegetation changes abruptly from lush woods to desert at the town line. The town is sparsely inhabited, with the inhabitants all seeming to know each other: the Sherrif's Deputy is on casual speaking terms with [[Sally]], a repeat offender, and is used to the idea she'll attack her husband (the local judge) for being "stupid". There's a local shopping outlet we don't see, and a bar called [[Mad Dawg's]] that's frequented by cowboy wannabes. A local radio station plays country and western all the time. There's a Sheriff's Department, and no police department. |

Bizarrely, everyone in Fremont has a stereotypical southern accent ''despite'' being close to Lawndale, which has a 'generic' mid-Atlantic accent. If you assume Lawndale is in Maryland, Fremont could be in Virginia but that still doesn't explain the mass desert. |

While the episode shows a "Fremont Town Limits" sign in the episode, Quinn later mentions stopping at a "little town" ''between'' the sign and the Sheriff's Office, and [[Travis]] the hitchhiker is picked up there and sings for a long time (Daria claims two hours but was probably exaggerating). It may have been intended to be a county. |
