agree  Jorge Gonza: LEGENDS. That's what I was going to propose. George is right, though; but the context should indicate the asker whether the whole thing happens in a city or elsewhere.

popular imagery (mental images)


Explanation:
I don't believe it means imagination as such, but rather the totality of images that already predominate in the public domain.

In the same way that vocabulario means \'conjunto de palabras\', imaginario can mean \'conjunto de imagenes\'.

popular imaginarium


Explanation:
he estado escuchando más y más esta palabra imaginarium como haciendo referencia a una "colección de imaginaciones/cosas imaginadas", lo cual puede muy bien calzar aquí. No está en los diccionarios convencionales, pero parece que se está utilizando mucho. Es el nombre de una tienda, pero si buscás en Google, verás que ya la están aplicando a muchas cosas. Espero te sirva. Saludos!
