OMG! This is what just popped into my head right before I clicked on this thread!! We could both stay there and then we could read all of those 'trunk' novels when he wasn't around!
Geez Louise,folks,use your noggins!! Tull! You already have infrastructure,no overpopulation or traffic problem,you just have to bring a good pick and shovel to take care of the rather unfortunate previous residents..then sell off bits and pieces as you wish,you could name the place after yourself! Though MJS9153 really doesn't roll off the tongue as a place to move to..

Before Roland's world moved on, some of the old Western-type towns would have been habitable. I wouldn't have wanted to live there, though. I can see myself being a homesteader close to a town...before the world moved on. By the time of The Gunslinger, they'd become pretty horrible places. As a matter of fact, all of the places Roland and his ka-text passed through were pretty horrible...so I was pleasantly surprised at how normal Calla Bryn Sturgis was. The people actually reminded me of the small-town folken of my hometown in rural mountain NC. (All right, we didn't have Andy...or Oriza Sisters...or quite so many twins...but you get my meaning.)
I'd like to live in the Calla, post-wolf days of course. The Reconstruction Period. Partly it's curiosity. I'd love to know what happened after.
Especially when the Breaker-refugees from Pleasantville showed up. How were they received? What would be their place in the community after what they'd done? Welcomed? Allowed total membership, even places of leadership? Or grudgingly accepted, relegated forever to outsider-status? Or..."Fire up the charyou tree, y'all?"
