Editing Welcome To Centropolis City (section)

==Neighborhoods and Incorporated Townships==
'''Blue Bluffs''' – located north of Upper Main Town, Blue Bluff is mostly where the ‘old money’ of Centropolis is located (i.e. the Robber and Train Barons). As Centropolis has changed and moved towards high tech industry and Unobtanium production many of the older families lost a lot of wealth and influence. Today many of the old mansions are abandoned or in ill repair as most of the wealth of the city (and the family’s that control it) moved into Ridgeway and Sunny Newark. The Mob’s '''''Diamond Family''''' controls most of the areas gambling and prostitution. It is also a major drug manufacturing area for the family. </br>
'''ChinaCity''' – located between the lower-east side of Wellington Heights and Ridgeway neighborhoods, as the name implies it is where much of the cities Chinese immigrants settled. The '''Yellow Hand''' Triads controls crime here and many of the larger tenements are actually fully opened and inhabited by their members. 
'''Fairview''' – to the north east of Upper Main Town, Fairview is a mostly suburban enclave of Victorian style homes, parks and malls. Nothing much happens in this small neighborhood. There are multiple nicer restaurants and shops spread through the areas residential style homes. </br>
'''Hillsdale''' –to the east of Main Town on the northern side of the Platte River, Hillsdale is a mixed neighborhood of suburban homes, large high-end and middle class apartments along with high-tech industrial parks. '''''Daedalus Robotics''''' has a major domestic robotic manufacturing center here and is one of the largest employers in the area. The ''''''Whiteraven Academy of Exceptional Students'''''' is located here and the ‘unusual’ student here often sneak off campus to do a little “patrolling” in the surrounding areas. </br>   
'''Little Moscow''' – on the eastern boarder of the Red District, this city is made up mostly of large tenement housing units and is dominated by the '''Medved Bratsva'''. Drugs and gambling are rampant here, but also some of the best ethnic restaurants are also located within. The shadowy hero '''Justicator''' operates almost exclusively here in a never ending war against the Bratsvas.  </br> 
'''Lantern Hill''' – on the northwestern part of town, this neighborhood was settled by Irish and Russian immigrants after the Unobtanium mines were first opened. These mining families also brought their churches and with the wealth from the mines lead to a number of large cathedrals being raised here.  It got its name from the tradition of hanging colored lanterns on every street corner during the holidays and their cultures traditional holidays. Rumors persist that there are a number of ghosts drawn to or trapped within the part of town and multiple reports of them have been investigated. Most focus around the Necropolis, a 40-story glass and steel crematorium and repository of the dead. </br>
One unusual feature in this neighborhood is the '''''Guardian Angel''''' statue that appeared on the northern side of the '''Blue Hills Cemetery''' some ten years ago. Weighing several hundred tons at almost thirty feet all, it is still a mystery how it was moved here. The stone marble status depicts a bowing capes winged angel bearing a sword. The citizens consider it lucky and actual protector of the region.  </br> 
'''Main Town''' – the heart and soul of Centropolis, there are over a hundred mega-skyscrapers along with even more normal sized skyscrapers here alone. Most of the smaller buildings and homes have been replaced over the years. '''''Human, Inc.''''' and '''''Cross World industries''''' both have invested heavily into this revitalization in a not-so-friendly competition to outdo the other. While the '''''Centropolis Police Department (CPD)''''' has a strong presence here and the main city prison is located here, there is still crime. Especially from the hidden underground bases used by the '''''Feral Underground'''''.  </br>
'''Park Ridge''' – one of the richer suburban enclaves to the west of greater Centropolis city. More millionaires are located here then almost anywhere in the city. The Centropolis police force is supported by a large number of private security forces, all with limited legal enforcement powers within the district. Most industry has been bought out and replaced by mansions here.</br> 
'''Pine Oak''' – This northern town was settled by a number of Vietnamese and eastern European immigrants and was mostly built to chatter to the students of the Pine '''''Oak Technical University'''''.  </br>
'''Red Haven''' – as noted this is a bad part of town. There are small enclaves and neighborhoods here and there that are safer but overall this is where most of the criminals are located and based out of. There are supposedly a few independent superheroes whom have dedicated themselves to cleaning up this area but they keep a very low profile as the rumors of corruption are strong. </br>

'''Ridgeway''' – is where many of the city’s wealthy work and/or shop. The CPD has a large contingent here along with multiple private security firms throughout the area. Most of the district is taken up by multiple skyscrapers but there are a few large mansions located in '''''Royal Hills''''' neighborhood.</br>
'''Silver Coin''' – located ten miles north of the city and not far from the '''''Middleton Army Base''''', it once served at a miner temp-town for the silver mines (before the discovery of Unobtanium). Today it has remade itself into a ‘''Mecca of Gambling''’ with a number of large casinos. Crime and vice are common here but the local police seem most concerned with keep tourist happy then preventing crime against the locals. </br>  
'''South Place''' – located south of the Smokes and Red Haven, this lower-middle class residential area is surprisingly low on much of the crime that plagues the neighborhoods north of it.</br>
'''Sunnyvale''' – located some ten miles to the southwest of Upper Main Town, Sunnyvale is located near the '''''Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge and Park'''''. This park has been greatly expanded in the last few years with a large endowment from '''''Pandora Inc.''''' In fact Pandora has a secret underground facility here where they have been experimenting with new Chimera breeds and then released back into the park to see how well they survive in the wild.  </br>
'''The Smokes''' – located west of the city and running along the southern side of the Platte River, with parts of the Red District spilling over into it, this is the location of most of the city’s heavy industrial and manufacturing area. While much of these industries is ‘clean and green’ compared to older industry it is still dirty and pumping out huge columns of smoke and ash, from where it gets its name.</br>  
'''Upper Main Town''' – is the city’s financial district and is densely packed with over a hundred gleaming skyscrapers. The '''''CPD''''' and '''''FBI''''' both have major headquarters here along with offices of '''''A.E.G.I.S.''''', the '''''IRS''''' and '''''FEMA'''''. For such a high-tech city most banks carry very little actual cash these days and as such traditional bank robberies are very uncommon, but there are those that still break into many a bank’s physical locations to electronically transfer their deposits into offshore accounts. </br>  
One exception to this is the '''''Centropolis Central Reserve Office''''' which stores not only a great deal of cash and foreign currency online it also hold a good amount of the gold and unobtanium reserves of the city and federal government onsight. As such security it very high here with some of the most advanced systems and weapons available. </br>
'''Wellington Heights''' – is a mostly middle or upper middle class neighborhood with over a hundred large apartment complexes with 500+ residential apartments in each one. This is also the location of the '''''Silver City Residential Arcology''''' with over 5,000 residents and workers.
