One thing that I noticed and I found to be funny & interesting is: when its pouring down rain in the game and you drive thru the tunnel, somehow it's still raining in the tunnel, must be superhero rain! too funny!

Important Note: For this achievement, Hometowner (100G) and Free Spirit (100G), to avoid having to replay a good amount of the game, make sure you manually save the game before you end the workday on Saturday, September 13 (before you drive into the post office parking lot). What I did was parked across the street from the post office after finishing my deliveries for the day and made the save there. You are going to have to play from this save point a total of three times, each taking approximately 25 minutes (depending on choices you made earlier in the game) before you make specific dialogue choices that determine the ending.
After turning in the truck on Saturday, September 13, you have a short conversation with Frank. Dialogue choices do not matter here. That evening, you receive a phone call from your parents. Again, dialogue choices do not matter. If you agreed to have dinner with Robert on September 12, you will play through a five minute scene at the diner. Once again, dialogue choices do not matter.
On Sunday, September 14, the day opens with you writing in your journal. If you did not agree to attend open mic night at Mo’s Diner on September 10, the day ends here. Otherwise, there will be a 15 minute scene at the diner. For this ending, dialogue choices do not matter.
Monday, September 15 starts with you at the post office speaking to Frank. During the conversation, to get this ending, you need to make two specific dialogue choices. When Frank asks if you are accepting the mail carrier job, respond with “but no, I'm taking it off and will leave town”. Then, when he asks what you are going to do, respond with “Back to my home, my job, and my life in the big city”. Frank will offer to drive you to the airport, which you accept. The remaining dialogue options do not matter.
Next will be a scene with Lori and the RV in the post office parking lot. You can choose anything you like here (I gave the RV to Lori). Finally, as you are driving to the airport, depending on your interactions with Robert throughout the game, he may or may not drive up and ask Frank to pull over. If he does, you can choose any dialogue options you like as they do not matter. The achievement will unlock as the camera pans up to the lake.

This is one of 3 endings available in the game. You can get all 3 on the same playthrough so long as you make a manual save to reload. You'll want to save at the end of the workday (before you return to the Post Office) on September 13th. You'll need to replay through that night, Sunday and Monday each time you reload it and you won't be able to skip any of the dialogue or cutscenes. It'll take some time for each ending but it's better than playing through the entire game 3 times.
At the start of your final day in Providence Oaks (after the Open Mic night), you'll discuss your plans with Frank at the Post Office. He'll ask you if you've decided whether or not you're staying. Let him know you've decided to leave Providence Oaks and when he asks you where you'll go, select "back to home...". Choose any options when talking to Lori about the RV and when Frank pulls you over, reconfirm to him that you've made up your mind and are leaving Providence Oaks. When you're back on the road and the credits start to roll, the trophy will unlock.

A little extra setup earlier in the game makes it easier to get all three endings quickly without doing a full replay.
When you have a chance to speak to Lori about the RV on the 11th day (Thursday) ask her if the camper can stay there for a little while - tell her she can tinker with it.
MAKE A SAVE after your last delivery on the 13th Day (Saturday), before you head back to the post office.
During the Open Mic night, Lori will tell you the RV is all fixed up. Make sure you then offer the RV to Angie.
You won’t actually need to make this final choice until the 15th Day (Monday), despite what you may or may not have told the NPC’s during your journey.
Talk to Frank on the Monday. He’ll ask if you’re staying, seeing as how you’re still wearing the coat.
Tell him:
“I’m taking it off and will leave town”
And then:
“I’m going back to my home, my job and my life in the City”
A cut scene or two will follow. The trophy will unlock at the start of the end credits
Once you’re back at the main menu, select continue and you will only need to replay the Saturday Evening and Open mic Night before making a different choice for another ending.
NOTE 1: if you’ve forgotten to make a save, it’s no big deal, the game should have made an Autosave at some point on that Saturday, so you won’t need to do much more than re-complete the days deliveries.
NOTE 2: I can’t say for certainty whether you miss the ‘Free Spirit’ ending if you offer the RV to Lori on Thursday instead of keeping it. The game is really good with freedom of choice and changing your mind. If someone figures out a definitive answer, I’ll update this guide, but until then best to play it safe and hang on to the RV if you want this trophy.
