In 1873, Pops moved his family and presided over the naming ceremony for his new home town of Hastings, Nebraska. He and his family thrived so well they stayed there until 2037. He and his wife and three children provide a running commentary on the changing landscape of Hastings, as well as popular culture and the many failings of the surrounding communities. You'll love checking in with his precocious son Gonzalez, and his bewildering daughters Adelaide and Dahlia, all under the scrutiny of his wife, Mrs. Pops. From his humble origins as a railway agent to his entry into the exciting world of radio/TV sales and repair to his venture into the ice cream business, he became a pillar of the community and indispensable to its health and prosperity.
