Regarding unusual names of towns in the USA: many originated from the "First Nations" (to borrow a Canadian term) names for these locations. They're as real as can be. If you ever get to Washington State, check out the quaint town of Sequim, pronounced "SKWIM."

This.
And the number of places across Canada that have First-Nations-derived names are even more numerous.

Well hopefully someone can pay Poughkeepsie a visit. Don’t think I’m alone in wanting to find what’s happened to the Scarlet Pimpernel

Just a thought does anyone know where was the shop where Tony bought the whiskey? I’m wondering if it was near Poughkeepsie or on the route from Warwick to Poughkeepsie?

So if he is "still in Bethel" then what is he doing there? Not attending GB meetings, but he likely has some kind of job there.

Poughkeepsie , in the Wappinger language means 'the reed-covered lodge by the little-water place', well Tony found a little watering place there apparently !

I though it meant ‘the little Bottle King on highway 17’

Many state names, such as Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky and Massachusetts, are all derived from First Nations names. Also cities, such as Chattanooga and Seattle, have First Nations origins. Their pronunciations, I am sure, have been anglicized.
Place name origins fascinate me. Many places in the U.S. were named after places in Europe or ancient Egypt. I know this has nothing to do with Tony Morris, but I just felt like saying it.

Maybe AM3 was already 'raptured', to Costa Rica, Cancun or the Caymen Islands.
