Main Street
The source of hustle and bustle, Main Street, Arendia is also a haven for numerous types of people. Shoppers can find a large variety of shopping centers and boutiques opening right onto the sidewalk, that offer a number of products to the public. Restaurants and quaint cafés are also in abundance, with cuisine ranging from the typical to the exotic. But, as with all things, there is another side of the coin; slums and backstreets can be exceedingly dangerous to uninitiated. Driving along this section of town tends to be met with a decent (but not excessive) amount of busy roads. |

Education System
Spacing twenty miles or so between each other in the Northern half of the city are Arendia’s schools, Arendia Elementary, Middle, High, and Andrew-Turner University. Pampered with safe neighborhoods and expansive lots to associate in, this more populated area has become a hangout of choice for younger children and teens. The University on the other hand is conveniently placed on the border that separates Arendia and the following city, and is thus run by a more diverse group of young adults and aging graduates. Constantly the scene of culture clubs and other community groups, the school system is blessed with the many talents of those who garden, recycle, and paint, making the space between each facility a true pleasure to stroll along. |

Columbian Mall
After long debate between consumer and producer, a mall has been birthed for the city of Arendia. Freshly built, it is a large, one story mall packed with hundreds of retail stores and market brands that fit every person’s wants and needs. Additional sections are being continually added to properly handle the rising attendance as of late, including many eateries that range from national superstars to original mom and pop diners. Lavished with color and life, much of the population drifts here if they have a desire to make new friends, pick up a few last-minute gifts, or generally "get out of the house." |

Grand Strand
The aquatic, tourist-loved, area of attraction; located off the coast of the ocean, several shops and odd-ends are lined throughout. Not only is the Grand Strand popular for the occasional shopping, but sight-seeing is quite popular with the different aquatic life that is located along the shore-line and landing. Differing areas consist of younger generation attractions such as putt-putt courses, small assortments of gift-shops, and the small “strip” of beach. Shipment outlets are along the shoreline. The Strand is very beach-oriented, attempting to keep locals and tourists busy through all the shops and shores that spread throughout the area. Barefoot Landing, just nearby, is a popular shopping place and is constantly flecked with some sort of aquatic animal-life. |

Residential Homes
Necessary to the survival of the public, the Residential Homes of Arendia range from the homely to the massive, sprawling over miles and miles of city territory that cross into both safe and unsafe areas. The unsafe, affectionately named "the ghetto" is more populated by small trailers and older homes while the safe is crowded with iron gates and private pools. Practical budgets allow room for expansion and it seems as though everyone begins building additions at once, but sometimes abandoned homes provide shelter for those less fortunate. |

Other Areas
Places that can’t be placed in Arendia’s malls and shopping outlets eventually wind up in the side streets of the city. It’s leading building is the hospital, which has provided care to the Arendia population for a large number of years and has gained funding for various medical projects and cure research. Veterinary services, auto shops, fitness gyms, and playgrounds all dot the outer regions of the land to provide services that extend beyond the normal shopper. Because of it’s sparse groupings, the Other Areas is merely a referral to all public facilities and stations that do not fit the quota of average consumer purchases and has no precise location besides the vague “somewhere over there." |

Los Angeles
Los Angeles is practically the world’s most prominent center for media, culture, technology, business, and trade. It also leads the world in producing entertainment, such as; movies, television, video games, and music. Though subject to earthquakes, L.A. is quite the popular attraction for tourism, and simple, local attractions. The city is divided into many neighborhoods, many of which were towns that were annexed by the growing city. There are several landmarks throughout the city, including: Chinatown, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Griffith Observatory, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Hollywood Sign, Hollywood Boulevard, Capitol Records Tower, Los Angeles City Hall, Hollywood Bowl, Watts Towers, Staples Center, and Dodger Stadium. |
