He's right, of course. The only fantasy I've ever written ("Whale Meat") was urban fantasy, and the setting was the Chicago Lincoln Park area near De Paul University, where I went to college in the early '70s and tried to draw as accurately as I could. My friend Tom worked at his family's greasy-spoon diner on Clark Street just north of Fullerton, and he and I and our friend George from high school spent a few late nights there, dealing with the local street people and remarking how almost anything could hide on Clark Street. Witches? No problem...
