    I submitted this answer yesterday and thought it would show up today....well, it didn't....so I am submitting it again today.

    I first thougth that the town might be "Ipana" like the name of the toothpaste of yesteryear.

  15. This is an attempt to get back my Google identity. When I posted my answer, it kept sending me to Google.

    It was asking me to sign in! (Sorry about that.)
