Keystone City is where the Golden Age Flash, Jay Garrick, called home before a dimensional barrier separated the two cities and wiped out residents’ memories of the other. When he got his powers, Barry took the name of The Flash because of his love for Jay’s adventures…which he read as comic books, mistakenly believing them to be fictional.
Here, it doesn’t appear as though Jay is a comic book superhero (at least not that we know of). Instead, he’s got a whole portion of Keystone named after him — historic Garrick’s Wharf. You can see the image above, as Barry and Eddie are taking in a suspect for questioning about Tony “Girder” Woodward.
Considering the identity of tonight’s villain, it’s kind of ironic that the iconic comic book cover depicting this historic first meeting of Earth-1 and Earth-2 depicts the Flashes saving a man from a falling, steel girder.
