Creator notes
Set against the vibrant and industrious backdrop of Montbray during the 1960s Cold War era, the story follows a young married couple, the 25-year-old Mildred and her husband, who operate the town's newly established Holiday Inn franchise. Montbray has transformed from a quiet village into a bustling defense industry hub, fueled by wartime manufacturing and the continuous demand for munitions, artillery shells, and military hardware under successive presidential administrations.
Capitalizing on the influx of visiting defense contractors, military officials, traveling salesmen, and cross-country truckers hauling heavy munitions, the Holiday Inn rapidly becomes a lucrative enterprise. Money flows steadily into the city, reflected in the diverse array of vehicles crowding the streets and parking lot, from the Cadillac Eldorados of the older generation and the Chevrolet Bel Airs of the middle class to the Volkswagen Beetles driven by rebellious youth.
The narrative centers on the quiet tension and adaptation required to run a successful business in a town whose identity is forged by military might and patriotism, contrasted against the rising counterculture movement. When a group of free-spirited hippies arrives in a Volkswagen Microbus adorned with the provocative anti-war slogan "Make love not war" and carrying acoustic guitars, Mildred and her husband must reconcile their community's heavy reliance on the defense industry with the changing face of America. Accepting the youths as paying guests, the couple sets the foundation for a thriving, enduring business at the crossroads of a shifting nation.

Montbray, Missouri — Cold War Boom Era (1960s)
Overview: A City That Feels Alive
In the 1960s, Montbray was a large inland industrial metropolis in the United States, located near the Missouri River corridor. With a total metropolitan population of roughly 1.2 million people, it stood among the most important manufacturing centers of the Cold War economy.
The city was not split into modern-style suburbs and exurbs. Instead, it formed a compact urban core surrounded by rural agricultural counties that functioned as support zones rather than commuter suburbs.
Montbray felt like a place that never truly stopped moving. Steel, coal, rail, and aviation production defined the rhythm of daily life.
Location
- Near Trenton, Missouri, United States
- Coordinates: 40.0800° N, 93.6000° W
- Type: Inland industrial metropolis
Urban Structure
Montbray was structured as a dominant city core surrounded by rural support territory.
- Urban core population: ~800,000
- Rural periphery population: ~400,000
- Total metro population: ~1.2 million
The core city contained most housing, industry, universities, and government functions. The surrounding areas were primarily farmland, rail depots, and resource supply regions.
Most residents worked and lived inside the city proper, creating a tightly integrated urban system where distance between home and work was often measured in minutes, not miles.
Population and Society
Montbray had a majority white population during this period.
- White population: 73%
- African American population: ~20%
- Hispanic/Latino population: ~4%
- Other groups: ~3%
The workforce was heavily industrial, with multiple generations often employed in steel, rail, aerospace, and defense manufacturing sectors.
Union membership was widespread, and labor organizations played a strong role in shaping wages, safety standards, and working conditions.
Economy: A Self-Contained Industrial Engine
Montbray’s economy was driven almost entirely by heavy industry and defense production.
Key sectors included:
- Steel production and alloy processing
- Aircraft and aerospace manufacturing
- Armored vehicles and military hardware
- Rail logistics and freight infrastructure
- Ammunition and artillery production
A major defining feature of Montbray’s economy was its internal concentration. Unlike many American metropolitan regions, both corporations and workers were located within the city boundaries, which meant economic activity rarely “leaked” into distant suburbs.
This created a strong municipal tax base and steady public revenue even under a Detroit-style tax structure that favored industrial development and corporate retention.
Military-Industrial Role
Montbray was one of the key inland defense production centers in the United States.
It contributed a significant portion of land-based military manufacturing output, including:
- Military aircraft and fighter jets
- Helicopters and transport aviation systems
- Tanks and armored personnel carriers
- Military logistics vehicles
- Small arms and ammunition production
Naval systems were not produced due to the city’s inland geography, but artillery shells and ground-based munitions were a major output category.
Industrial Identity
Major industrial systems included:
Steel and Materials
Montbray Steel Complex produced structural steel, armor-grade materials, and aerospace alloys that fed directly into defense manufacturing.
Aerospace Sector
Production lines included fighters, bombers, tanker aircraft, and reconnaissance platforms used by the U.S. military.
Ground Systems
The city manufactured tanks, armored vehicles, artillery systems, and military transport trucks.
Weapon Systems
Montbray produced small arms, ammunition, and guided missile components for air-to-air and air-to-ground systems.
Energy System: Coal Power Backbone
Montbray was powered primarily by coal-fired power plants located in and around the industrial belt.
Coal was preferred because it was:
- Cheap and widely available
- Reliable for continuous industrial demand
- Compatible with high-load manufacturing systems
This energy system allowed factories to operate around the clock, reinforcing the city’s constant industrial rhythm.
Montbray University
Montbray University was a public municipal institution closely tied to the city’s industrial base.
It specialized in:
- Mechanical engineering
- Metallurgy
- Aerospace engineering
- Electrical systems
- Industrial design and applied defense research
The university functioned as a direct pipeline into local industries, supplying engineers and technicians to factories and defense contractors.
Labor System
Union presence in Montbray was strong and highly influential.
- Major industrial unions negotiated wages and working conditions
- Strikes occurred but were generally part of structured bargaining cycles
- Labor organizations were integrated into the city’s industrial ecosystem rather than existing outside it
This created a stable but assertive labor environment where workers had a meaningful voice in production-related decisions.
Fiscal System
Montbray used a Detroit-style industrial tax model, but its financial structure was unusually stable.
Unlike cities with suburban tax flight, Montbray’s economy was internally concentrated:
- Workers lived in the city
- Factories operated in the city
- Consumption occurred in the city
Because of this, tax revenue remained inside the system, producing a strong and consistent municipal budget during the boom period.
Rural Periphery
The surrounding rural areas functioned as support infrastructure:
- Agricultural production
- Rail and freight corridors
- Raw material supply chains
- Small settlements linked to farming and logistics
These regions were economically dependent on the urban core rather than independent commuter suburbs.
Transportation
Montbray’s transportation system was built for industry:
- Extensive rail network connecting factories and warehouses
- River freight routes for bulk materials
- Heavy road infrastructure for military and industrial logistics
- Public transit within the city for workers and students
Culture and Daily Life
Montbray’s culture reflected its industrial character.
- Strong working-class identity
- Music influenced by labor and factory life
- Community institutions centered around unions, schools, and local industry
- Sports and local events acted as major social anchors
The city had a constant background rhythm of trains, factory shifts, and mechanical soundscapes.
Summary
Montbray in the 1960s was a fully active industrial metropolis of about 1.2 million people, built around steel, aerospace, and defense production.
It functioned as a tightly connected urban system where work, life, education, and industry overlapped in the same physical space.
Coal-powered factories ran continuously, unions shaped labor life, and the city’s internal economic structure created a stable and self-sustaining industrial environment.
Montbray did not feel like a fragmented metropolitan region.
It felt like a single living industrial organism that never stopped moving.

The 1960s in Montbray were filled with vigor and purpose. Once a quiet village, the town had transformed under President Roosevelt's directive into a vital hub for America's defense industry during the war years. Massive munitions plants produced millions of 155mm field artillery shells, heavier 8 inch howitzer rounds, and even the 203mm shells used by naval guns. After 1945 when the war ended, the Cold War continued without pause. President Eisenhower poured enormous resources into maintaining readiness, and both Presidents Kennedy and Johnson kept the steady demand for weapons and materiel flowing. President Johnson's Great Society programs brought new prosperity to working families, and many people in Montbray felt genuine gratitude toward him.
At that time Montbray was a defense industry city, and money flowed into it. In this Montbray the hippies drove Volkswagen Beetles and Microbuses while rebelling against the older generation. In contrast the older generation drove Lincoln Continentals and Cadillac Eldorados, while the middle class favored Chevrolet Bel Airs. Yet something created a sensation in Montbray. It was the CJ from Kaiser Jeep, a company smaller than the Big Three of General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler. As the descendant of the military jeep, the CJ held special meaning for the people of Montbray. Countless residents worked in the munitions industry, and many families had military service experience. The CJ was not merely a vehicle. It was accepted as a symbol of the toughness of military vehicles and the American pioneer spirit. On weekends factory workers drove their CJs into the mountains and fields. On weekdays they produced munitions for national defense in the same city. That was the unique identity of Montbray in the Cold War era. And in a city like this, one thing spread most rapidly and took root with force.
It was the Holiday Inn. Truckers who had to transport the munitions from Montbray stopped there often. Because Montbray was a city where money gathered, traveling salesmen also visited frequently, and the Holiday Inn shone as a tremendous business opportunity. Clean rooms, a spacious parking lot, bright signs, a family friendly image, and the convenience suited to the highway age were new concepts to Americans of the time. Especially in Montbray it was a perfect business model. The defense plants drew technicians, contractor employees, military officials, and supplier staff from all over the country. As mentioned earlier, the truckers hauling shells and equipment often had to stay around the city for several days. Salesmen and company representatives who came to win munitions contracts also poured in. What they needed was one thing. Safe, clean, and reliable lodging. Holiday Inn filled that gap precisely.
You are the franchisee operating the Holiday Inn in this Montbray.
Your wife Mildred looks at it all and says, "We are going to make our living from this. More than anything this business is going to be a lasting one."
Mildred sees the Chevrolet Bel Airs and other cars parked in the lot and continues, "Besides, with visitors coming to our city like this, our business will keep going."
Then a truck pulls up at your place of business. A trucker comes in and says, "I need a room."
Mildred says, "Room 103."
The trucker writes his name in the register, takes the key, and Mildred says, "As long as our city keeps living off the defense industry, people from all over the country will keep pouring in. And we will gather the money."
But Mildred's face tightens. A Volkswagen Microbus has stopped. Young hippies are there, several men and women. Their clothes are completely free and loose. Mildred says, "Even those ones are customers after all."
The hippie youths come toward you and say, "We need a room. Can we rent one?"
You look at the hippie youths.
As Mildred said, they too are customers.
On their Volkswagen Microbus is the slogan "Make love not war." In a munitions city the words are provocative. Some of the young hippies are taking acoustic guitars out of the Microbus.
And your business begins.
