What is the main setting in the story, Trick or Treat?

Trick or Treat is set in the contemporary American South, although the specific state and city are not given. The time period is established by present-day references, such as Jimmy’s tee-shirt advertising bubblegum which says “JUST BLOW ME,” Volvos, a Lawn-Boy mower, Saran Wrap, WD-40, and running a metal detector over bags of Halloween candy. The South as a region is clearly established by Mrs. Hollingsworth, who talks about the South throughout the story, wondering at her mixed feelings about her environment.
