[edit] History
It has long been believed that Pine Valley (or PV, as it is called by fans on the internet) is based on the Pennsylvania Main Line, a chain of well-to-do suburbs in the vicinity of Philadelphia. It has also said to be located on the Llantano River, across from Llanview, Pennsylvania, home of One Life to Live. However, due to a map shown in a 1999 episode, it is, in fact, located in what is the Williamsport, Pennsylvania area.
The town, as the "Welcome" sign indicates, was founded in 1683. Since the shows premiered in 1970, Pine Valley has grown to be a buzzing metropolis, full of many business and residents.
Some of the more recognizable companies are Chandler Enterprises, Cortlandt Electronics, and Enchantment Enterprises. In 2002, Fusion Cosmetics was started. Enchantment, also a cosmetics company, has usually battled Fusion on the shelves of Lacey's, a popular department store in town.
Other places of business include The Serving Spoon, a food shop; the Glamorama, a beauty salon; and the Boutique, owned by Myrtle Fargate. Fargate also operates her own boarding house. The Valley Inn and the Pine Cone Motel are also places of temporary residence in town. The Valley Inn's dining room is a popular restaurant, while BJs, S.O.S. (Sounds of Salsa), and the Pit are more casual dining possibilities. The Seasons Casino is also in town.
For education, there is Pine Valley High School and Pine Valley University. Medical cases are treated at both Pine Valley Hospital and the Front Street Clinic. The biggest house in town is Wildwind, a large castle, while many other manors exist. The current police chief is Derek Frye.
