I visited Johnstown, Pennsylvania in November 2008 (just drive to Buffalo and follow US 219 all the way down), for which "Charlestown" was a thin disguise, the Chiefs masquerading as the Johnstown Jets. Johnstown has had a sad recent history - the mills did close, but they remain standing. The town had probably the best small transit system in the US - abandoning the streetcars only in the 1960s, the trolley buses only a decade after that. The downtown is really depressing, but not as endangered as say Brantford. But they do have a really neat incline railway ride (operated as part of the transit system) and the Chiefs play today at the War Memorial.

Best sports movie period.
