Much of the talk in Laureltide Green is heard in addled whispers by way of fair-weather back-fence prattle. Despite the town's enchanting name, a sour grapevine droops withered and low like a noose around its gardens and walkways. Wild local gossip from times past include the demerit about the Juvenile Court Judge who received kick-backs from a private company that built the new Laureltide Green youth detention center. Another chronicles Audit Committee Chairman Frederick Enfield - implicated in a series of corruption scandals in a scheme to cheat Laureltide Green's social insurance program - who, like his younger brother, was sentenced to time behind bars. And, who can forget about the Volunteer Fireman's girlfriend caught assisting in an in illegal dog-breeding operation on a farm in a remote location? Colorful applications of transgression. Dysfunction hangs gently in the perfumed air of Laureltide Green. However, there is also love in this town - lost, found and desired - true, blue and distorted. For some, it's the place to be. For others, it's a place to hide. For many, it's just a place. Come Meet The Laureltide Green Community!
