Deerpoint, NY : A Town Like No Other

The sign read "Deerpoint, NY. Established in 1800. A Town Like No Other." The sign was old and faded but hell everything was old and faded in Deerpoint. Besides an all-night convenience store, a school, newspaper, a church, and two bars there was little else to make someone want to stop there. The pharmacy, bakery, pizzeria, car lot,  had all come and gone over the years. "More cows than people" and "a quick piss break during a road trip" could be and were phrases used to describe it. Most of the residents worked out of town and those that didn't were mostly farmers. Deerpoint was a town lingering on the edge of oblivion. Deerpoint, NY  was the kitten on the poster hanging on for dear life.

"Hear ye Hear ye!" Sheriff Dan Brayton exclaimed as he banged his shoe on Kelly's Bar. It was a Monday afternoon but business had been so bad lately the bar was only open Thursday through Saturday as of late. That made it the perfect place to hold the first meeting of The Deerpoint Business Organization. Unofficially official the group consisted of Kelly Parker bar owner, Dan Brayton Sheriff, Douglas Adams former car salesman, Laura and Larry Paxton newspaper publishers, and Ean Collette Mayor and factory worker. 

Ean Collette had made national news when he was elected. At twenty-four the youngest Mayor ever elected at the time. The truth was the job barely paid and no one else was interested but it still made for good press. That was always good.
