Editing Riverside

South of the Waterfront is the bohemian, Old World charm of Riverside.
The area features several small parks, tree-lined streets, and brickwork
buildings. The neighborhood is popular with young people, particularly
students and artists, for its relatively low rents and loft apartments.
Riverside is becoming pricier, but not as quickly as parts of [[Midtown]] or
the western suburbs.

The rest of the neighborhood features small shops and restaurants,
often catering to the avant-garde. There are vegetarian restaurants and
bistros, craft boutiques, pagan, New Age, and gay and lesbian bookshops,
comic book stores, game stores, and so forth. Meadow Street is the main
thoroughfare where many of these places can be found.

A number of the side streets in Riverside, such as Ditko Street, are
closed to all but foot traffic (and the ever-present locals wearing rollerblades,
and skateboarders), making them popular places for afternoon
strolls and shopping. In the evening, Riverside offers a number of bars,
coffeehouses, and nightclubs, many with open-mike nights showcasing
local talent.

[[Riverside Park]], along the waterfront, is home one of Freedom City’s
greatest landmarks, the massive Sentry Statue, dedicated to the fallen
hero Centurion.
