Where is the location of the setting?

Bobby broke into the brand-new high school gymnasium, way past his curfew on the chilly November night. He knew this was wrong, but he couldn’t help himself. He had to see where he would be playing this Friday. His jaw dropped at the sight of the beautiful new building. The shiny basketball court shimmered in the moonlight. In 1940 they promised this gym, ten years later they finally came good on their promise and Bobby was one of the first to get to play in the new facility. He took a deep breath in and grinned at the smell of the new wood on the bleachers. He began to visualize himself playing on the court. The sound of fans cheering and the feel of the ball in his fingertips. He opened his eyes. His heart filled with excitement. Friday could not come soon enough.
