Nope, not thinking of subdivision. Suburbs may have subdivisions, that is correct. Suburbs arose because people wanted to get away from the "noise" of the city. Thanks to Henry Ford, people now had a way to commute back and forth between home and job without having to live in the city itself. These areas eventually started to incorporate strip malls and other amenities in order to ease the commute back and forth to the city. Subdivisions sprung up in the suburbs to deal with the increasing amount of people wanting to own a home outside of the city.

YOU are refering to an edge city. The term "edge city" was coined by Washington Post journalist and author Joel Garreau. There are determining factors as to what can classify a place as an edge city. I know you have a disdain for it, but my copy and paste method will have to be used once again because paraphrasing it isn't the same. (http://geography.about.com/od/urbaneconomicgeography/a/edgecity.htm)

Garreau established five rules for a place to be considered an edge city:

1. The area must have more than five million square feet of office space (about the space of a good-sized downtown)

2. The place must include over 600,000 square feet of retail space (the size of a large regional shopping mall)

3. The population must rise every morning and drop every afternoon (i.e., there are more jobs than homes)

4. The place is known as a single end destination (the place "has it all;" entertainment, shopping, recreation, etc.)

A subdivision is an area of land first built up with urban or suburban buildings at a single time by a single developer. Hence, the reason why many of these homes tend to look the same.

Summing it up: A city or town has a suburb, a suburb may contain several "city-like" structures and often have many subdivisions. Some suburbs have grown large enough to become their own city/town but that isn't the case with Milford, CT and New Haven, CT. His words are that Beacon Hills is a small town, much like his own. Milford does have old towns incorporated into it and despite them having their own name they are geographically known as a part of Milford, CT.

If there were NO time period even implied then how is it that Derek is 15? Therefore there is at least an implied time of being in the past. When in the past or what time "specifically" in the past is another matter.

I have already acknowledged at least in other forums that I may be looking for things that are simply not there. However, I don't find it ridiculous to attempt to figure out when in time the events happen. It is just became a fun thing to try and decipher, much like everything else people are speculating about. You obviously don't care about when it happened as much as I enjoy trying to figure it out, to each his own.

Oh and BTW, not sure but in Overlook's synopsis I may be wrong but I don't think Derek wolfed out when he grabbed Jennifer's neck. He had one hand with claws out but his other hand (the one around her throat) didn't and his facial features weren't wolfed out either. Not sure if this makes a difference but just thought I'd point it out.
