Hill Valley, California

Today was the town meeting on who would volunteer to meet Clara at the train station. Nobody volunteered to meet Clara at the station simply because they didn't want to meet any stranger or they were busy.

"Well nobody wants to meet the new schoolteacher at the train station next week" said Mayor Hubert. "I guess she'll have to go to her new place herself and either I, one of the sheriff's, the Marshall, or one of the members of the hill county government will stop by her place and meet her whenever we get a chance."

Everyone left to their homes or other places after the meeting. While everyone sort of understood why they chose not to meet and pick up Clara, they worried what would happen if she had nobody to be introduced to. They worried either she would be killed by Buford Tannen and his gang, get thrown off and fall into Shonash Ravine, make her feel like Hill Valley doesn't really want her, or get lost and end up somewhere else outside of Hill Valley.
