New Santon
	Streets The streets of New Santon. Quite a variety of areas, these range from the main road that runs through the city to the dingy(and sometimes dangerous) back alleys in the downtown area.	0	0
	True Tattoos The only tattoo parlor in town where you're guaranteed not to get AIDS. The artists are great, friendly, and understanding if you're a bit hesitant about needles. They also do identification for shifters.	0	0
	Recreational Center Come to the Rec-Center to work out. You can do anything from weight lifting to gymnastics to basketball here.	0	0
	New Santon Police Station Not even two blocks away from the correctional facility, New Santon police station is not a place where most people want to end up. The cops tend to run a bit of a sloppy day shift, but the night cops are generally more aware. There are a few holding cells in the back, where offenders who haven't been prosecuted are held.	0	0
	Public Garden Actually a sizeable park, the public garden has a long cobblestone path that weaves through it, circling some of the statues in the park. There's also a duck pond here, as well as some open areas that are good for picnics, frisbee games, and the like.	3	24	on Apr 28, 2008, 6:48pm by Rex in Rex at the park
	New Santon Correctional Facility The name remains the same, but the occupants have changed. Where human prisoners once waited for their sentences to end, now shifters pace their cells. This place is a hell for shifters who are not owned by anyone, and especially for those who misbehave. The guards know all too well the lack of anti-cruelty laws imposed on shifters, and they use that to their advantage.	5	57	on Sept 21, 2007, 10:51pm by Aurora Rockwell in Confronting Captivity
	The Junkyard This is quite a large junkyard/landfill, situated on a sizeable plot of land between the main city and suburbia on the east side of town. Mostly, people come here to throw away old appliances and furniture, but it also has a pit for glass, cans, cardboard, and paper to be recycled.	0	0
	The Mall The New Santon Mall is quite large, and has every kind of store one could imagine. Clothing stores like American Eagle, Eddie Bauer, and Hot Topic, gift stores like Spencer's and the Build-a-Bear Workshop, sporting goods stores, pet shops, and department stores like JC Penny and Boscovs. It's all right here. There's also a small piercing parlor called the Piercing Pagoda here.	0	0
	Restaurants A group of restaurants right in the center of town. Some of them are fast food, like McDonald's and Wendy's, but there are a couple fancy restaurants here, as well as some Indian, Japanese, Italian, and other restaurants of the like.	0	0
	Insomnia This night club is open from dusk to dawn, and only allows those over 18 inside. Strobe and neon lights light up the dance floor, while the rest of the lightbulbs are red, casting a dark glow over the whole place. It's a great place to come, hang out, and maybe dance a little or have a drink.	1	1	on Jun 14, 2007, 8:30pm by Austin Jarreau in It'll Be Another Sleep...
	Theatre on a Shoestring New Santon's community theatre, where musicals, plays, and the very rare opera are performed. Come here for some relatively cheap entertainment($15 a ticket) or to audition.	0	0
	Saint Oliver's St. Oliver's hospital is the only hospital in the city, and quite possibly the largest in the state. Not only are there rooms, ICU, and emergency rooms as in all hospitals, but in one wing of the building is a doctor's practice as well. Actually, several doctors. It's a top-rated hospital, so few here need to worry about being mistreated, except maybe shifters.	0	0
	New Santon Museum The New Santon Museum is fairly new. It is a five-story marble building with exhibits ranging from scientific discoveries, animals(stuffed, not live), to geology, archaeology, palaeontology, anatomy, and architecture, as well as history.	0	0
	Granite Zoo This 84-acre zoo is the largest zoo for over 300 miles. Home to more than 200 species of animals from around the world, it also has a small water park area, where dolphins and porpoises rutinely do shows. Shifters are not normally allowed in, but if they can manage to sneak in, it would be well worth the effort.	0	0
Outskirts/Outside the City
	Abandoned Farm This area used to be a large farm, but is now abandoned and overgrown. The silo, barn, stable, and farmhouse are still there, but in disrepair, and some areas on the upper stories are close to collapse. The land around the farm is covered in tall grass nearly five feet high. Some crops still grow in this area, such as melons, strawberries, and gourds, but most of the crop fields have been choked with weeds.	1	6	on Sept 24, 2007, 2:25am by Will Velez in A Rustic Reunion
	Farmlands To the west of New Santon, there are several miles of farmlands. Dairy farms, wool farms, horse farms, and a crop farm all lie out in this direction.	0	0
	Docks/Boardwalk Here are the docks, long stretches of cement walkways supported by wooden and metal beams coated with algae and barnacles. The water is oily here thanks to all the ships nearby, but the boardwalk is pleasant enough, being lined with various carts selling everything from Italian Ice to tee shirts and sunglasses. The carts are open primarily in the summer and early fall.	2	3	on Mar 1, 2008, 8:21pm by jqzcys in The Many Faces of Love
	Beach The beach. It's a sandy stretch of land bordering the ocean, littered by crumpled cups and napkins at the end of every day. The cleanup crew does a good job of picking all that garbage up though, and the beach is spotless by the start of the next day. Part of the beach is rocky, with several tidepools where crabs and fish are trapped at low tide.	0	0
	Breakwater/Goldbar Island The breakwater is a man-made path of large stones about a quarter of a mile into the ocean. It stretches from the south part of the beach near the tidepools to Goldbar Island, a sandy island about a mile long any way you cut it. There used to be a very unsuccessful gold mine here, but now all that's left over from that is a dark mine shaft. The shaft has been reinforced and blocked about two hundred feet in so that curious explorers can go in without fear of a collapse, but not too far down.	1	1	on Mar 1, 2008, 8:20pm by jqzcys in The Many Faces of Love
	Mount Heart Mount Heart is 800 feet tall, crisscrossed with several hiking trails of varying difficulty. In the hilly forest area at the base of the mountain, there is a camping and picnic area. The mountain is about 60 miles away from New Santon, or a little less than an hour's drive.	0	0
Residential
	Apartments/Duplexes (3 sub-boards) From dingy, two-room, downtown affairs to two-story uptown penthouses, these are the apartments of New Santon.	1	13	on Aug 16, 2007, 3:58pm by Harper in A Change of Scenery
	Suburbia Between the city and countryside lie a series of developments. Characterized by softly twisting roads, identical two-story vinyl-sided houses, and neatly manicured lawns, this is the ideal place for many to live.	0	0
	Country Houses A mile or so away from the city, the houses become more spread apart. Here, most of them have at least five or six acres of land around the house, and many keep farm animals.	0	0
	Upscale Homes (3 sub-boards) More like mansions than ordinary houses, these are homes for the rich and famous. Most of these houses are home to families, and all have at least one shifter working on the premesis. - If you are interested in owning a home, PM Eclipse(username: admin). Humans only. -	1	3	on Sept 25, 2007, 12:34pm by Kette Duerr in Kette's first chance.
