This is going to be a bit random, but a while back I remember a discusion on where High School Story takes place and I believe it takes place in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. We know that #LoveHacks takes place in San Francisco and that they visit ClickIt in book 2, but in book 1 in you sit with the football team and choose to discuss football Caleb asks you if you plan to join the team. Your response is to say you actually were thinking of asking if they were Niners fans to which Julian says, "A. Hell yeah. Go Niners. B. Caleb has a good point. You should try out for the team."

As a Bay Area native, I grew up with a dad who was a Raiders fan and a mom who is a Niners fan. Sure the Niners have fans outside of the Bay Area. My mom currently is one (we moved many years back). The thing is, that's not the norm. If you are going to ask about people being fans of a sports team, the team you are going to pick is almost definitely going to be local. Now the Raiders aren't always in the Bay Area, although the twelve years they were in LA have been quite some time ago and they have left for Las Vegas yet, but they definitely are there at the time of this story, which makes it interesting. Why pick Niners over Raiders? Sure it's the authors' choice, but it still might say something about where the series takes place.

Anyway, that's my theory on where HSS takes place. Thoughts?
