What does ある町 mean? I don't see it, is it something like "The town he's in?"


In that context ある means "one" or "some". ある町 means "some town".

    To add to the answer, I want to point out that it is 或{ある}, not the normal 有る{ある}, so they're separate words that sound the same (and both are normally written in hiragana, which doesn't help). – Blavius Sep 23 '15 at 20:43

In this context it means he was passing another town. So 'another' or 'some' may be an apt translation here.
