Valhalla
Offspring of the Mortal Realm and the beings of Infinity.
You are without trajectory. Without battle. Without foes.
You are without Destiny.
Come to us, take your place in the war. We have need of you.
Just as you have need of us.
-- from "Young Justice," Teen Titans mini-series
Valhalla, NY
From the official Wiki page:
"...It gained its name when controversy arose over the naming of a post office in the 19th century, due to the flooding of an existing town (Kensico) now under water of the lake created by the Kensico Dam, part of the New York City Water System. According to local historians and published work, the wife of a postmaster was a devoted fan of Richard Wagner and she shared the composer's interest in Norse mythology. Her preference led to the choice of name Valhalla, after the heavenly hall of slain warriors in that mythology. The area still maintains its association with death through its world famous cemetery area...
"Valhalla is the location of the Mount Pleasant Town Hall as well as the Mount Pleasant Town Pool and Community Center. The main street in Valhalla is Columbus Avenue which runs the length of the hamlet. Along this road is the Valhalla Train Station, the Kensico Dam, Holy Name of Jesus Church as well as other shops and restaurants."
