Just how big is Riverdale?

Vulture

The CW series is supposed to be set in a very small town, yet the storylines seem to question its smallness. "How is it possible that the town isn’t big enough to support a single drive-in movie theater, yet Riverdale teenagers are a significant market for the party drug jingle jangle?" says Laura Chanoux. "When Sheriff Keller doesn’t call in reinforcements from the state police or the FBI to investigate the Black Hood’s killing spree, does that mean Riverdale is large enough to have its own homicide unit? The town’s mysteries go deeper than the buried secrets in Pickens Park, and so we decided to investigate a pressing question: Just how big is Riverdale?" ALSO: Riley Keough tweets: "I just want to be cast on Riverdale."
