'In' or 'at a city/town'
Main Post:
Greetings. I know that when one wants to talk about something in a city, the correct preposition is 'in'. As in 'I live in Paris' or 'I hold a shop in Paris' (Correct me if I'm wrong). But I'm confused about this sentence from The Fellowship of the Ring:
'I had counted on passing the Golden Perch at Stock before sundown'.
In this sentence, the Golden Perch is an inn, and Stock is a town, so I assumed it should be 'in Stock' and not 'at Stock'. Could anyone help me out with this? Thank you.
Top Comment: I would say "in" here as a native English (American) speaker, but think it may be different for British English. The only scenario where I'd use "at" before a city is for sports matches. I might say "they're at Chicago next week" (with they referring to another team) but I think that's because in that case "Chicago" really means the Chicago team's stadium, so it's like saying "at the stadium".

What could I improve on? Change?
Top Comment: Just started playing (level 21), and this is super impressive. I really appreciate the organization and i especially like your farm animal area and might copy it! I also love how each building has a road around it, really spaces it out nicely so you can see everything. What level are you on?!
Just got my town back.
