I can see some huge benefits historically to here - the history of the city nicely reflects the European Silver Fangs seizing the caern from the Native American Croatan. The abolitionist movement also nicely reflects the Child of Gaia presence

I think I'd have to beef up the population considerably, since it is small (I'd also have to mix up the diversity a fair whack to fit the story, but I've done this and the like to other cities. My main worry is the urban werewolves of my story would be attracted by business or technology),

It is extremely close to a national park. With trees :) The history of the place is also wonderful for the Sept (centre of the abolitionist movement, former fort against Native American attacks)

I've looked at some pictures though and that's some beautiful forrested terrain. Truly stunning

Ah that's good - we have a semi-organised crime ring which i can say had hidden underpinning
