Idea for 90s Sesame Street spinoff- Ann Arbor

I always thought it was a friendly town to live from birth-5, it felt like a mix of Sesame Street and especially Richard Scarry's Busytown.

It was diverse, had clean river had a city bus line (not to mention Greyhound and Amtrak stops), had a college with one of the biggest football stadiums. The mall had a super-ton variety of stores for all age groups. And not to mention the parks, arcades, pools, rink arenas, sports arenas,

This would have been a perfect expansion of Around the Corner! Instead of taking place in a fictional NY street, it could take place in Ann Arbor, MI! Maybe Gordon and Susan could move there while still having SST street stories about visiting Sesame Street!

I think it could be for 2-5 year olds teaching about clean water and post-counting math, as a economic/environmental curriculum (Perhaps national science foundation could be one of the sponsors).

But there's only one catch of this spinoff- It would've had to aired in the 90s!

Any ideas for humans, Muppets, etc?

One thing. MORE Bill the Bat sketches, because one wasn't enough on the regular Street.
Sonic would have his own sketches like how Superman and Batman had their own sketches in the 70s. They would be animated by DiC.
More music parodies and show parodies. A jab at Barney too.
