I was looking at doing something similar...see how many you can fill out with 100 miles of your own location. Then we should get some of those good small town names. :)

21. Sinclair Lewis' "BABBIT" - Fictional suburban city in the novel.
I would think there has to be a Zenith in the USA somewhere. If not, I'll stick with the fictional.
