Documented residents include Rodeo Rosie, Marshal Grover and Fred the Wonder Horse, Bad Bart, The Great Cookie Thief, and an assortment of Anything Muppet cowpokes (who earn their living by poking cows). In the sketches, a stereotypical Western saloon is a frequent setting, but Sesame Street Dictionary clarifies that it is actually a milk bar. Some sketches also make this clear by showing milk cartons on the bar counter. Other businesses include the Sesame Gulch Hotel (which boasts cable TV; Granny Fanny Nesslerode is a known guest) and the train depot (where Cookie Monster is the engineer, in an apparent reference to "The Ballad of Casey McPhee.") Medical needs are handled by the "doc." Principal recreational activities include card playing, milk drinking, horse riding and cow herding, counting, and jumping to conclusions.
