Has it really been almost a decade now? I feel old...

I was browsing the episode reviews and smiling at all the descriptions of the various real-life "holy sites", speculation on which matsuri the girls attended to watch fireworks, etc. But there was one bit of trivia which I'm surprised the many American viewers never tried to answer: where in the States does Patty come from?

Welp, according to (Mi)Wiki, Kasukabe's sister city is Pasadena, California, and the chambers of commerce sponsor annual student exchanges.

Pasadena's a pretty rich city (home of the Rose Bowl/Parade and some nicely restored 1910s and '20s Craftsman architecture) so yeah, that might explain why our favorite weeaboo likely has so much disposable money.

Then again, there's also a chance that she's from Haddonfield, New Jersey, near Philadelphia, whose high school has an exchange program with the real-life Saitama Prefectural Kasukabe High School.

Again, Haddonfield is another rather wealthy, historic town...and yes, Debra Hill, co-writer of Halloween, was from there, so she named that setting after her hometown. And it's right next to Voorhees! (If Patty is from there, good thing she didn't tell that to Tsukasa, heh.)
