== OTHER INTERESTING OR UNIQUE PLACES == IMPORTANT STATIONS OR BUILDINGS '''Centurion Street Police Station'''. The street was originally Brewery Street, for the old brewery building on it. That building got demolished a long time ago during a fight with Centurions and the supervillain Rampage, now serving a life sentence at Century City Hypermax. Where the brewery stood is now Centurion Park, and the street has been renamed. The police station was constructed and opened a few decades ago with much pomp and fanfare for Division C, a special police division to counter incidents of supercrime. The division was highly trained, they had the best gear money could buy - and all that proved insufficient to deal with the various unconventional powers their targets brought to the game. And not just their targets. Division C often ended up outdone by vigilante superheroes. It became rapidly apparent that Century City needed superheroes to deal with supervillains, and some of the more reliable vigilantes and other people were invited to join the team that became the Centurions. The police station is still there, and so is Division C, but much diminished in role. They still deal with supercrime, but largely act as support force for Centurions. They are the first responders who call the Centurions, keep bystanders away, and afterwards take statements, collect and file the evidence, write the incident reports, and generally deal with all the bureaucracy and other unglamorous parts of dealing with supercrime. '''Centurion Tower'''. Located in downtown Century City on Alpha Avenue, this 20 story building houses the city's hero team, the Centurions. The top five floors of the town make up the teams headquarters. Lower floors include a number of business and city offices. *Building Roof: Has been reinforced and allowed helicopter and other VTOL aircraft *20th Floor: This floor is dominated by a machine shop for vehicle repair and refueling. It also includes a storage area where a vehicle VTOL vehicle can be stored within the tower. There is machinary for the team's advanced communication hardware located here (satellite uplink, etc.) *19th Floor: This floor includes over a dozen workshops and labratories. *18th Floor: This floor include the team's Danger Room and excerise rooms with various work out equipment for a wide range of powers. *17th Floor: This floor includes an independent fusion power plant and houses computer shervers and center for the A.D.A.M. AI system. Also include main communication and confrence room for the team to link to most world-wide communication systems. *16th Floor: This floor includes the Centurion's living quarters (10 fairly large apartment style rooms. There is a central entertaiment room along with a few secure offices for use as city or federal agents. '''Century City Hypermax'''. A prison for supervillains, not in the city proper but instead to the northeast of the city on the eastern side of Ares Military Base. What exact methods are used to contain the inmates and keep them from using their powers are a huge secrets, but few people have ever escaped. OTHER CITY LOCATIONS '''Century City Library''': there are many branches spread throughout the city but the Down Town brank library is by far the largest and most popular. This 8 story glass and steel structure has seating for over two hundred patrons and a large helpful staff. MILITARY BASE '''Ares Military Base'''. On the northeastern edge of Century City located in the high wooded hills located there, this Army base is used as a military testing site for many of the weapons and systems developed by '''Woden Industrial''' for the US Military. The hills around it cut down on any noise pollution and it is fenced off with multiple layers of detection devices and patrolled heavily by military police to keep the curious out. PARKS AND PRESERVES '''Century Park'''. A large sprawling, rolling hills park filled with plenty of open grass fields, with a small stream and four small ponds and multiple crops of trees shattered throughout. Very popular and frequented by many of the city's residence. '''Centurion Park'''. Centurion Park is much smaller than the city's famous Century Park. Situated near the Centurion Street Police Station, it is mainly a memorial park for both the wins and losses of Centurions and their associates - mainly Division C police officers - in their efforts to protect Century City from supercrime and related incidents. '''Costanze Park and Lake''': located in the Hermosa Canción neighborhood this park and the lake itself is popular all year round. There are very few private homes on the lake shore and the city has set most of the area around the lake as a public park. '''Wyre Forest Wolf Nature Preserve'''. Aka Werewolf Forest. It's a large state park adjacent to and inland from the city, with campgrounds and so forth. There's lots of hills, woods, whatever. Also, a hydroelectric dam holding up a large, picturesque lake. Lots of people go there to hike, jog, camp, fish, whatever. There are no actual werewolves, although there are some regular wolves in the deeper areas of the preserve. '''Century Mountain'''. An old extinct volcanos with an elevation of just under 15,000 feet, its snow covered peak can be seen from almost anywhere in the city. RESTAURANTS AND BARS '''Bellisario's'''. Named after the semi-famous maxim, it’s a “eat-and-drink-ery” that specializes in not asking questions about anything weird that happens inside, so long as people don’t do anything nasty to each other. Translation: It’s the urban fantasy crowd’s hang-out. '''Burger Blaster'''. This popular local burger chain can be found through out the city at one of their 24 locations (with two new ones on the way). Specializing in large, meaty burgers they also have come to embrace (and master) multiple types of veggie burgers '''Perlaine's Espresso Bar'''s. These cafe are a city feature, famous for their buttermilk crunch cake and very, very strong "bad morning" coffee. UNIQUE PLACES OR THINGS '''The Sentinel Statue'''. This statue appeared about ten years ago on the corner of Quark Street and Particle Avenue. It is a large figure of a hooded creature releasing a bird and seems to be made of green marble. Attempts to analyse, dismantle, relocate or take samples. of it fail due to ever-increasing bad luck, one of which caused the death of a particularly stubborn Brick hero. It is on the Centurion's extremely long watch-list but seems to be utterly inert. '''The Underground'''. After a large flood due to a tidal wave decades ago, a whole area of the city sank. It was simultaneously built over and cleared out, and expanded into an underground storage complex carved into the limestone hills. There's now a WEIRDLY extensive underground are of the city, with its own mall, neighborhoods, streets, and stores. There are a few "facade" buildings in the above-ground areas over. They look like regular houses or (closed) shops, but don't have an interior. Instead they're basically enormous ventilation units pulling stale air out of the underground.
