Good advice though underneath it all, McBain invented the city of Isola where he set his 87th Precinct Novels. If you don't know the city (who actually knows anywhere they live after living there for awhile?) then I'd go the McBain route.

My own fictional US city is called Istas (I believe it's the word for snow in one of the Native American languages, but can't remember which one now).
