Several wistful moments in episodes of The Twilight Zone [1959-1964] were inspired by creator Rod Serling’s hometown of Binghamton, New York.
This statue of Serling was dedicated there last year.
The carousel in "Walking Distance" [season 1, episode 5] was a nod to the one in Recreation Park, a few blocks from where Serling grew up. It is still in operation.
I also visited his childhood home.
Alas, there was no twist ending.
