Too many kids want to be a fireman or police man etc that they don't often think about a guu like Albert. <br /><br />I hope that Michael will appreciate a job like Alberts and I think him seeing his dad doing jobs that albert does on the side will encourage him.

I can see how a generic location would reach out to the masses but it would be neat to hide a few shout-outs to PA in the illustrations.
