The Area

The salty sea air from Chesapeake Bay is always almost so present you can taste it on your tongue. Mostly active during the day, it still has it’s fair share of after-dark activity – after all, the city doesn’t close up and go home at 5 PM each day. There’s the clanging sound of massive clamps and cranes working at all hours of the night, even a mile from the coast and the loading docks. The noise, quite obviously, makes it a very poor area for any living and prices of real estate in the area reflect it.

Perhaps the most untouched and unchanged part of the city since the riots, Chessy Bay Beach has seen millions of ships pass through her old and tired docks. The sea salt rusts away more and more metal from the supports of the steady old horse by the night, but rarely does the area ever gain any flush of income. Any revitalization projects have ultimately been scrapped, in favor of the new shinier and modern city centers, so graveyards of half-finished construction projects are just another familiar sight along the roads of the area.

The place, misnamed “beach” really, has long been called by the natives as the Baby Docks. Bay-Beach is quite easy to combine, and docks... well, it’s the industrial docking place for the city, you do the math! Those that do live in the area have generally lived there their whole lives, or have moved in from somewhere else in the country who thought they were being sold beachfront property, and came to find out that the beaches there are littered by rusty ship bolts, trash and general sea refuse. Occasionally a dead body washes up, too.

The squat ocean-side warehouses and the various supporting businesses and gas stations never stand more than a story or two above the ground, giving the city a sort of step-like appearance from afar. As if going toward the city center would be as though one were climbing up stairs made from the rooftops leading from the Bay.
