Wiki says Eagle Rock. Iron Gate is not in Botetourt County

Iron Gate is a little bigger (emphasis on little) and may have had a little more job opportunity. Her dad may have worked there. People who live in Iron Gate go to Allegheny HS not James River according to the internet. Iron Gate is in Allegheny county not Botetourt and James River HS is in another county.
