==Key Locations== *'''Arborgrove Academy''': A private school that preps students for attending Ivy League universities. They have a 9% acceptance rate, exorbitant tuition (offering few scholarships), and well-connected alumni, many of whom have graduated from said Ivy League universities. They offer a wide selection of classes and clubs not often found in public schools, and class size ranges between 10-20 students. *'''Mary Immaculate of Lourdes''': Almost 50% of Newton is Catholic, and many Arborgrove students attend this illustrious church. *'''Crystal Lake''': Crystal Lake is a 33-acre natural lake located in Newton Centre. Its shores, although mostly lined by private homes, host two small parks, a designated swimming area, and a bathhouse. People come here to swim, fish, boat, and ice skate in the winter. Shoreline paths and sidewalks allow for peaceful walks around three sides of the lake. *'''Echo Bridge''': Echo Bridge is a notable 19th century masonry arch bride spanning the Charles River between Needham to Newton Upper Falls, Massachusetts. From the bridge you can view some of the old mill buildings, but most of the gorge remains naturally overgrown. It has two viewing locations, the pedestrian walk on the top of the bridge and the platform underneath where visitors can hear echoes. You can see white water, a waterfall, and the hemlock-lined gorge. *'''Hammond Pond Reservation''': Hammond Pond Reservation is a wooded reservation with a large, scenic pond located in the Chestnut Hill section of Newton. It is a natural forest with wooded trails and large geographical formations which are popular for rock climbing. *'''The Trinity''': A closed-down and derelict chapel on the edge of town. Lilith was made here - she suspects the cabal needed holy ground for the ritual, although she doesn't know the details - and sometimes comes here to hang out in the quiet. Lately teens have occasionally been using it for parties, or homeless folks squat for a few days before the police move them out again. *'''Fitton Library''': Cassandra believes the library may have been founded in her name, though the name could be a coincidence. Stone building with tall east tower, spiral staircases, stained glass windows, and old wooden shelves filled with books. Quiet and peaceful, filled with many forgotten corners within the building. *'''Chester Blake Skate Park''': Dedicated to a student who disappeared, the park is between the overpass that swings out from the Academy and a short way from the bay of Crystal lake, behind a small copse. Cole has a lot of memories of there, although it's lost some of the appeal since the Change. He likes it when it's quiet - he was no great skater but the acoustics on a cold night are amazing. *'''The Rose Theater''': The old theater was a cornerstone of the town's old arts district in its heyday. Thanks to a mysteriously abandoned restoration project in the mid-nineties, the theater's elegant, sculptured facade looks nearly as good as it did all those years ago when it was new. Inside though, it's dark, damp in places, and in disrepair. They say it's haunted; they say that on certain nights at a certain hour, you can hear applause from inside coming in effusive bursts. They may not be wrong. *'''The Black Lodge''': A combination of coffee shop and occult book store, one of many restaurants and cafes, owned by Eve's parents. It's a good place for Victor and his clique to study, pick up easily impressed goths, and just while away some time.
