McPhearson Aerospace Maintenance Yard

Description

Otherwise known as just an elephant graveyard, the McPhearson Yard has long, long been forgotten by the people who were supposed to tend to it. Similar to a fairy-tale wolf, Atlanta swallows it’s prey whole. Go poking around it’s belly, and you’ll be surprised at what it coughs up. Pull off of Highway 75 South in Forest Park, drive around to the shadow of the Carcleasian overpass and suddenly you’re surrounded by metal hulks of impossible size. Despite the city’s halo, the darkness is perfect at night, and you’d be better off finding your way by the tattoo of rain on old steel than the distant streetlights. Welcome to the Elephant Graveyard, where old airplanes and construction equipment are gutted and dumped.

Shine a light or perk up your eyes, and you’ll find the cyclopean carcasses of military and civilian aircraft, cranes and even small oil derricks. The graveyard is poorly guarded (read: not) and unused. Every so often, a few homeless try and camp here, but the long alleys between corpses create bone-chilling winds. These conditions don’t pose a problem for Kindred, though, and dedicated and creative vampires could probably make a haven in one of the planes or scrap piles.

The McPhearson Aerospace Maintenance Yard was opened several decades ago, back when the government intended to actually do maintenance here. Turns out, though, that it’s cheaper to dispose of aircraft than to fix them; they’re a little like people, that way.
