VL Trolley City?

[Don Corathers]

I thought of Dayton, Ohio, which ran a system of electric trolleys powered
by overhead cables until just a couple years ago. The color scheme is right.
Not sure about the "desert-yellow plaza downtown." Dayton doesn't have a
federal courthouse, although I suppose a runaway prosecutor like Brock could
convene a grand jury anywhere he damn pleases.
