Greenvine
Demographics
Anyone who isn’t wealthy has no place in Greenvine, and a vigilant police presence takes glee in rousting those who don’t belong. The University of Northport has some on-campus dormitories, but many of the upperclassmen live in the Garment District and commute to class.
Points of interest
The University of Northport has one of the country’s finest hard-science facilities, with Global Prize-winners in several disciplines all working in the chemistry, applied physics, and more exotic departments. Perched on a steep hill, the University doesn’t have more room for office and laboratory space, so they keep digging basement after sub-basement in their science facilities. Some researchers haven’t seen natural sunlight for months or years, students say.
Vineyard Street is appropriately named; it’s a serpentine road that connects most of the hills that make up the Greenvine neighborhood. Its sharp turns and steep inclines and descents make it perfect for the city’s illegal street-racing clubs, who wager vast sums on who’ll win races along the length of Vineyard Street. The police quickly put a stop to such races—unless they’re among the bettors.
Halsey House is the mayor’s residence, an intentional replica of the Executive Residence of the Commonwealth’s Prime Minister. It’s heavily guarded, and the mayor’s flunkies and troubleshooters (and, some say, his patrons) come and go at all hours of the day and night.
