The Penneys live in fictional Crustwood, Illinois (a mockery of the actual suburb of Chicago: Crestwood). There is indeed a Krazy Kaplan’s fireworks store across the border in Indiana, where fireworks laws are minimal. Actually, there are five Krazy Kaplan stores in northwest Indiana.
They don’t have any change, and couldn’t count it, if they did.
Seriously, most toll roads let you drive on through. They snap a photo of your license plate and bill you. Except, driving across country last spring, we discovered you need cash (specifically quarters) at some toll booths in Oklahoma.
