Yes, it's actually based on a real world town>

I just made a little less boring.

I think possible the England Grammar influence may have come watching a lot of BBC and English-style mysteries on PBS.

Story wise, there might also be a fantastic explanation as to why the town's inhabitants, at least the younger ones speaks with a distinct English accent. The town itself intersects with a number of other parallel dimensions, and one of the closest is a Steampunk Empire World where America hasn't broken away from England. So some of this world leaks out as influences and subtly affect the still developing brains of the younger residents. This also leads them to invent various gadgetry from scrap and spare parts.
