Hillywood is located about two miles outside the city limits of Hoopee Holler. A few years ago, Hoopee Holler made a deal with the feds. The feds could dump toxic wastes in the big sinkhole up on the Mountain. It was serving as a landfill fer the local garbage.
In return fer the dumping rights, the local citizens of Hoopee Holler would never have to pay anymore federal taxes. We got more take home pay. The deal was put to a vote and passed by a large margin. People were blinded by the money.
My parents sold the feds 5,000 acres on the far side of Mt. Sexabus. The Military built a secret base thar. It ain't a secret. Everyone knows it is thar. But no one can get in thar without being shot. My parents made a real fortune on the land sale. After selling it, my parents moved to Lexington.
What people did not think of was the threat the toxic wastes posed to the local enviroment and a possible health threat to the entire population of Hoopee Holler and surrounding areas.
Since the toxic wastes were dumped we have had some weird things happen that defy logical explanation. Supernatural things! No one will admit the toxic wastes had anything to do with the weird stuff. But they never started happening until the toxics were dumped. You never know what will happen next. But when the toxic wastes commence to bubbling then you can be certain something weird is gonna happen. Just wait and see.
