Although Newark might not be the capital of New Jersey, it is a busy place in the world of human politics. This set of buildings in particular is often bustling with a hive of activity. It's also located in near proximity to two of the more prominent fire and police stations, so it's safe to say that this place gets loud.
This 'ward' is home to both the business and downtown districts, so small shops and larger offices intermix with neighborhoods and a little urban decay. It may not look as chic as the North side, but life thrives here.
The American Vampire League (AVL) headquarters for New Jersey is located here. Inside are the offices, meeting rooms, and media center the group relies on in order to maintain good vampire-human relations.
Oriented more towards the business crowd than the casual traveler, Waystreet Walk is home to a few attractions and coffee houses for Newark's busiest citizens to sit and take a break at.
This New Jersey mega-church is based around the same teachings as the original in Dallas. They preach a message of "coming from the darkness into the light", and are a leading voice in anti-vampire politics in New Jersey. While their building might be grand, it is clear not everyone is welcome.
Known for it's historic buildings and unique architecture, the North Ward is home to some of Newark's more affluent residents as well as the various diversions they enjoy in their free time.
A mish-mash of public and private organizations keep their headquarters downtown, and even though parts of this section of the city are rundown there are also other areas that are getting built back up again, making this a sort of hodge-podge of places to see.
While neither the western most point of Trenton, nor located near a lake, Westlake is known for it's suburban neighborhoods and attitude that separates it from the more urban downtown Trenton.
This small shopping mall has seen better days, that much is true, but as it's one of the more convenient ways to buy clothing, shoes, accessories, and most anything else, people seem to overlook that it's more than a little bit dingy.
Behind this small hardware supply store sits a fairly decent lumber yard. This is a great one-stop shop for anyone looking to do a little hope improvement or taking on a larger project.
Though people primarily think of Trenton as being an urban environment, the further one gets away from the heart of the city the more one sees the rural side of things. Office complexes and strip malls transition into farms and woods, though a person ought to be careful on the back roads. They can be confusing to strangers.
Although this grand casino has been open for decades, it has become increasingly popular since the 'outing' of the vampires a few years ago. It offers gambling, delicious food, and a bar for anyone who might need a little pick-me-up after a night of losses. There is also an attached hotel with accommodation for... all sorts of customers.
Looking for a fun night out on the town that doesn't involved gambling? Look no further than the boardwalk. Filled with shopping, boutiques, and fine-dining options, it is a one-stop shop for all things fun.
As the name suggests, this is the part of Atlantic City that really draws in the visiting crowds. Along with the casinos, this part of town is what people really remember-- the lights, the bustle, the action.
These apartments are also located within the city, albeit maybe not as close to some of the more touristy attractions, but they were built with luxury living in mind. The monthly rent price might be enough to drive many prospective tenants away, but there are no leaky faucets or broken cabinets here. There's even a doorman and more security cameras outside than one might want to think about.
Although there isn't even a sliver of ocean to be seen from this strip mall, there are an abundance of stores favored by the locals trying to avoid the tourist traps.
The beach is a relaxing place to get away to, even during the colder parts of the year. During some of the warmer months, though, the congestion can be almost overwhelming as people flock to the sun.
Once you get past all the blitz and glam of the city you wind up...well, here. Mostly it's just a mid-point between this city and the next one, but there are some things to be seen in these wide-open spaces if you just know where to look.
Although located in the 'archives' category, this board is for roleplay threads that are set in a time before The Jersey Devil takes place. New threads can be started here whenever necessary.
