According to residents, the deli has the best sandwiches in the area, especially the hot corned beef on rye. It was an era before photocopiers became commonplace, so Johnson's was the place to get correction fluid, replacement tax forms and pencil erasers. Since then, the post office has moved to nearby Market Street. Johnson's is now known as the place where the commuters in town pick up a newspaper or magazine. Housewives with small children gather at Johnson's after their husbands head to the commuter train and before they head next door to talk to Bea.
Life is good in Twilight Junction.
The primary school was named after the sitting president at the time it was originally dedicated. The town began as a sleepy hamlet for railroad workers and their families when the railroad line was extended to the foothills. The freight lines still employ many of Twilight Junction's residents and the town is the first and last stop on the commuter train each day. The building that sits on the elementary school site today was constructed in 1963. In the early part of that year the rain clouds pretty much backed-up against the mountains for days.
