Put on your thinking caps!

You know how soap operas/prime time dramas are always set in a specific location? ER is in a hospital, there's been a million of them set in the west or on ranches, the South American "telenovelas" are often on haciendas, etc....

Can you think of some new, heretofore unused "locations" for a drama, the more unusual the better?

You get extra points if you outline the perfect villain for the piece.

A small town garden center was the most unlikely place for drama that I could think of.

The villian- The (female) head of the Junior Master Gardener's club.

If you make a book out of this please don't tell anyone that I gave you this idea. ;)



ETA: Disclaimer. There is absolutely no reason for me to suggest this other than it is so unlikely.

7-11, the Slushie man as villain. High-fructose corn syrup and Red Dye No. 40

Amtrak -- sort of like The Love Boat, with the regular riders, the vacationers, the dining car, the sleeping car, a politician or two...

Nursing home

Small college

Monastery

Nurses station in a large medical center -- Yeah, now there's drama for ya :glare:

[gardening momma]

Museum

[abbeyej]

I know! A space ship traveling around distant galaxies... But *this* spaceship is filled with cowboys who keep swearing in Chinese!

oh, wait...

somebody already did that...

:D

[Once]

A nursing home.

Villian is a chef in the kitchen skilled at making low fat gravy. Everyone loves him because it tastes sooo good. :D

The romance in the west wing is the most convoluted. But the east wing rivales it since the residents are older ...... by ten years. ;)

(Please, I am not trying to offend older people.....some day I will be one.) :tongue_smilie:

[Miss Peregrine]

Library.

Villain: The quiet, mousy type who loves the Dewey Decimal system.

I'm sorry, I'm loopy tonight.:lol:

A foreign embassy located in the US. Obviously it would be called "The Embassy".

The villain would a long term employee whose job is about to be eliminated by budget cuts.

[Kathleen in VA]

The Post Office. Villian? The supervisor of the Letter Carriers. (Maybe a look-alike of Danny DeVito in Taxi)

[kzdaisy]

Location : Wal Mart, the villian: the greeter at the door so friendly you can go in but you can't go out!!!

[Chris in VA]

Homeschool? Villain could be the county school inspector or something?
Kinda picture him like that creepy character that goes after the kids in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang...

[JennifersLost]

Some great answers so far, people!

Monastery!!! I love it.

[turnin' 360s]

:lol:So funny about the Wal-Mart greeter! But I thought we were talking fiction.

How about an evil piano teacher with a long reddish braid down her back, and a stern face, that keeps time with a ruler in her hand and........ whoops, I'm getting carried away here.
