🗺️Where in the World (or Galaxy) is the Flat Raptor?

One of our intrepid Flat Raptors went on a trip and loved it so much, they decided to stay! Can you guess exactly where this little surfing Raptor decided to settle down? 🛸

Hint: It's a famous, jerky-filled roadside pit stop on the way to a very bright city! 🌆
