Silver Jews- "The Farmer's Hotel"

Since listening to the Goshen kids, I've been noticing that town coming up in all kinds of contexts.

the lights went out in New York, then they went in Goshen.
I got stuck in Goshen and that was sad.
the townsfolk stared hard like their minds had been marred
by life in a district so downtrodden and drab

It's a pretty quaint little town, aside from the weird brutalist-style government center.  That must be where he was stuck.

Sounds a lot like where I'm stuck, Boston.  Where the only good thing about our Government Center is The Modern Lovers' song.

Well, there IS something that can be done about brutalist architecture:

I chose to sleep in instead of going to see it, but it was still quite impressive on TV.
