The official visitor guide.

TawnySquire

A friendly town where everybody knows your name.
Come for a visit, stay for a lifetime.

TawnySquire at golden hour: main street with colorful shops, the town square fountain, and the E2 flag flying

Where the magic gets made.

The Studio is the creative heart of TawnySquire. Films, songs, games, all of it starts here. The doors are usually open, the coffee is usually on, and somebody is always making something.

The Studio building in TawnySquire: big creative space with large windows, people with guitars and cameras

The Studio. If you hear music, follow it.

Main Street

Where the town comes to stroll.

Colorful shopfronts, striped awnings, and the smell of fresh bread from the bakery. The bookstore owner knows your favorite genre. The florist saves you the good sunflowers. This is Main Street, and it runs on hellos.

Main Street on a Saturday afternoon. The ice cream line is worth it.

The town square

The fountain never stops.

Every town needs a center, and ours is the square. The stone fountain has been running since the town was founded. Kids toss coins in and make wishes. The wishes have an unusually high success rate here.

The square at golden hour. Best seat in town is the third bench from the left.

Stay awhile

The Squire Motel. 4.4 stars and climbing.

Clean rooms, honest prices, and the best continental breakfast in E2. The neon sign has been buzzing since 1987 and we would not have it any other way. Ask for the corner room, it has the good view of the square.

The Squire Motel at dusk: retro neon sign, warm glowing windows, vintage car in the lot

The Squire Motel. The vacancy sign is almost always on, because there's always room for one more.

Nightlife

The Square Bar. Where stories get told.

Wooden bar, brass taps, and the kind of lighting that makes everyone look like they're in a movie. The bartender remembers your order and your dog's name. Live music on Fridays. Tall tales every night.

Inside The Square Bar: warm wooden interior, brass taps, string lights, cozy booths

The Square Bar on a Friday night. The corner booth is where the best stories start.

Punchline

Punchline. Five brave minutes.

Marty runs Punchline, the bravest five minutes in show business, seven nights a week. Brick walls, red chairs, one glowing microphone, and a crowd that wants every comic to win. Everyone gets five minutes, and everyone gets a fair shot.

Punchline. The corner table is where the regulars sit, and you're a regular now.

The big screen

The Stagewood IMAX. Our palace of light.

Every town needs a movie palace, and ours is a giant. A screen the size of a house, two thousand red seats, and a marquee in golden bulbs you can see from the harbor. This is where E2 premieres its films. On the big nights the searchlights sweep the sky, the carpet rolls down the steps, and the whole town shows up dressed like the stars they are.

Premiere night at the Stagewood. When that sign lights up, clear your evening.

Local legend

The lemonade stand. A million-dollar idea.

Every town has a kid with a lemonade stand. Ours made a million dollars. He knows about conversion rates, upsells, and the perfect ice-to-lemon ratio. He'll sell you a cup and a business lesson. Both are worth the price.

The stand where it all started. The kid takes card now. Of course he does.

The park

Ducks, willows, and nowhere to be.

The park is where TawnySquire goes to breathe. A pond with very confident ducks, weeping willows, a footbridge that's been in a hundred photos. Bring a blanket. Stay past sunset. Nobody will rush you.

The park at dawn. The ducks have seniority, give them the right of way.

Our flag

Navy and gold. Flying over it all.

The E2 flag flies over TawnySquire day and night. Dark navy for the depth of the world we're building, gold for the warmth of the people building it. When you see it, you're home.

Meet the mayor

Mayor Gus. The friendliest man in E2.

Mayor Gus has run TawnySquire forever, and nobody has ever wanted anyone else. His office has no door. He knows every resident by name and every dog by bark. Meet Mayor Gus →

Mayor Gus smiling warmly

Mayor Gus. If you see him on Main Street, say hi. He'll say hi first.

The stage

Every town needs a stage.

The town square stage hosts everything: summer concerts, the annual talent show, Mayor Gus's birthday speech (it's short, he just says thanks). String lights, good sound, and a crowd that claps for everyone.
