Twoson is a town in EarthBound. It is located in the region of Eagleland, being south of Onett. To the east of the town is Happy Happy Village and southeast is the town of Threed. Twoson is the hometown of Paula. Its name may be a pun on the real-life city of Tucson, Arizona.
Overview
Twoson has various buildings, including a department store. Another attraction is the bicycle shop, where someone will also take a picture of Ness if he tries to go inside it. Polestar Preschool is the only school that can be found in the town, and it is run by Paula's parents. Another attraction for the city is Chaos Theater, where the Runaway Five and many other bands used to perform.
History
In EarthBound, the route from Onett to Twoson was originally blocked by roadblocks, but Ness defeats the Onett police force, and makes Captain Strong open the road to it. When Ness arrives at the town, he goes to Polestar Preschool. Here, he learns the owners' daughter, Paula, had a dream about Ness. He decides to rest in the hotel of the town. In it, Ness gets a dream to go to Paula. He goes on the journey, has Paula join him in his party, and then comes back to the town. He now goes to the Chaos Theater, and buys a ticket to see the Runaway Five perform. He also gets a backstage pass and goes backstage. He learns of the band's unhappiness with the theater, and decides to help. He goes to the theater's runner, Mr. Poochyfud, and pays off the debt the band amassed to the theater. The band, ecstatic about their freedom, allows Ness and Paula to ride with them to the town of Threed.

A Young Girl with a Big Heart and an Old Man with a Lot of Flowers
When I was very young (about ten or eleven years old), I heard that our neighbor, a retired physician, had lost his wife after a long illness. He was such a dear soul, and he had the most spectacular gardens in his backyard. The whole neighborhood could see his glorious flowers from the street. The backyard was a profusion of daisies and roses, snapdragons and lilies, hyacinths and columbines. I used to think there wasnt a flower in the world that he didnt grow.
