Grand Avenue takes you right out of Baconburg and into the suburbs. You pass through Porkington and Trottersville, and then you arrive in Hamfat. Starting in Trottersville, the road is lined on both sides with discount gas stations, fast-food restaurants, and stores with big parking lots. All the stores have huge signs you're supposed to see a mile away, except there are other signs sticking up in front of them - KIELBASA MART, FUDGE GIANT, SOCK CITY, UNDERWEAR WORLD, UNPAINTED SURGICAL APPLIANCE OUTLET, and CLAMS ARE US.
- Daniel Pinkwater, The Snarkout Boys and the Baconburg Horror, p.461 in 4 Fantastic Novels
