Where are you going Where have you been Setting

The setting in this story seems to be set in at least thirty years from now. I gathered this from the way narrator described Connie's 80's hair style. Also the narrator does not describe the landscape of the place in which Connie and her girl friends mostly hang out at. This place is the shopping plaza where they pick up boys. Mostly the setting is not very specifically revealed only through random snippets of landmarks like the restaurant shaped like a big bottle where they met the older kids. It is a suburban area because of the way the narrator tells of them going across highways to go to dumpy restaurants to meet people. Also her house is a small house with a long gravel driveway. The setting of the story gives more innocence to Connie and makes her seem more vulnerable when she tries to explore intimacy with older boys.
