The Sidle
Home to up-and-coming residential neighborhoods and family-operated shops, this district is the middle-class sprawl of Newfaire. Newly installed electric lights illuminate streets, affording the Sidle a reputation for being incredibly safe at night. This area of the city was nearest to the fighting of The Last Great War in Westwreck, but post-victory it was revitalized into the modern residential landscape it is today.
Most neighborhoods are under constant development, with construction now pushing further and further west. Though the wealthy that comes from the incredible population devastation of a hard-won war is most apparent in the middle-class expansion of the Sidle, there is a darkness and a great mourning that comes from success built in the wake of death.
Points of Interest
Temper Boulevard: One of the larger thoroughfares that run through the Sidle. This street has lanes for cars as well as a cable car line. The Department of Transportation can't figure out why the pavement along Temper Blvd. continues to shift and crack, mkaing portions of the road impassable. Locals describe small earthquakes that rumble in the night, but no scientists have been able to verify these claims.
Kline & Daughters Typwriter Shop: With the tagline "Get Your Writer Right," the Kline family runs a small, charming shop that attracts professors, students, and layfolk alike. At one point, the OUP cordoned off the store and would not allow anyone in or out for three months. After this incident, Mr. Kline never seemed the same.
Grayslate Sanatorium: In early 1816, this asylum was constructed outside the boundaries of Newfaire so that wealthy citizens could hide away relatives suffering from mental illness -- or those who were in fine health but embarrassing the family. The OUP also uses the facility to silence officers and civilians who have suffered from too much bleed, creating the moniker "going gray." It's a notoriously horrific and deadly place to live. Those who are sent to Grayslate are rarely released -- and if so, are certainly changed.
