Stranger Things
Hawkins, Indiana is a small town in the American Midwest set in the 1980s. Its landscape combines brick and wood suburban homes, quiet residential streets, local businesses, and Hawkins High School. On the outskirts is the Hawkins National Laboratory, a government facility surrounded by concrete buildings and surveillance. The natural environment includes dense forest, abandoned quarries and a river to the south, with cold winters and humid summers typical of the continental climate. Temporally, it takes place between November 1983 and March 1986. In 1985, the Starcourt Mall was inaugurated, a two-story shopping center that concentrated the youth and commercial activity of the town. Geographically Hawkins has a counterpart in the Upside Down, a parallel dimension that reflects its same urban and natural layout but degraded: streets, houses and buildings covered in organic matter, with a dark atmosphere, reddish sky and humid terrain. Since 1986
