A lake somewhere in Greensboro. You can't tell me you couldn't remember which book that's from. Even figuring out which chapter shouldn't be too hard.

Graff says he's in Greensboro, apparently:
The place they go to has a few specific references; I wouldn't be surprised if this is an actual place in NC:"Come for a ride with me, Valentine."
"I don't ride with strangers."
He handed her a paper. It was a release form, and her parents had signed it.
"I guess you're not a stranger. Where are we going?"
"To see a young soldier who is in Greensboro on leave."
She got in the car. "Ender's only ten years old," she said. "I thought you told us the first
time he'd be eligible for a leave was when he was twelve."
At the very least, I remember (the real) Pamlico Sound being mentioned when they were driving to the IF spaceport; no idea if Stumpy Point refers to anything real, though:They went out Lake Brandt Road and turned off just past the lake, following a road that
wound down and up until they came to a white clapboard mansion that sprawled along
the top of a hill. It looked over Lake Brandt on one side and a five-acre private lake on
the other. "This is the house that Medly's Mist-E-Rub built," said Graff. "The IF picked it
up in a tax sale about twenty years ago.
They took a helicopter to the IF spaceport at Stumpy Point. lt was officially named for a
dead Hegemon, but everybody called it Stumpy Point, after the pitiful little town that had
been paved over when they made the approaches to the vast islands of steel and concrete
that dotted Pamlico Sound. There were still waterbirds taking their fastidious little steps

Um, we're revoking your mod status.
Of course they were living there. That's why Ender was brough to Brandt Lake (about ten miles outside of Greensboro). They moved there because John Paul and Theresa thought Peter needed the open air to "calm" him.

Step softly; a dream lies buried here.

That's neat. It never occurred to me that the lake was a real place. Of course, when I first read EG I didn't realize that Eros is an actual asteroid either. What's next, Lusitania is real too?!
There was a continuity error regarding the Wiggin's home, but only in the 1st edition of SotH. Therein it was stated that Ender lived in Greensboro as opposed to his family moving there after he left. It's corrected in the paperback editions.

Isn't Lusitania a historical battleship or something? I remember seeing part of a special about it on the Discovery channel once... <_<That's neat.
