Crown City is a city. From Elwood City to Crown City the drive is over 100 miles, and along the way you pass through a lot of farmland. Despite the distance, in The Long Road Home George Lundgren walked from Elwood City to Crown City in 11 hours to raise money for Autism research.
Even though the city is a parody of NYC, Arthur Read and his family went to New York City with Buster and Bo Baxter in the pilot episode of Postcards from Buster. Buster also went to New York two other times in his spin-off series.
