Crescent City, so named due to its obvious shape, is a bit of an oddity. It is quite small by almost any standard, with a total land area of about 10 square miles. This is because Crescent City is not terribly self contained; it has no schools, no landfill, no prison or jail, and not even a cemetery. These resources instead are located in the adjoining towns, sprawling, forested rural areas with space to spare. Criminals are sent to the prison across Crescent Bridge in Rainsborough, trash is shipped to South Boylston, and the dead are buried in Wishing Well Cemetery in West Hadley. Residents of the city have their pick of the surrounding school districts.
This presents few problems, as Crescent City serves as a sort of shared downtown area for the trio of surrounding towns. Although many people work and play here, the permanent population is just 2,500. Most of these people live in cramped apartments, with some staying in indefinitely-booked hotel rooms and only the richest owning homes of their own - mostly elaborate, multi-story buildings in the West Wing District.
Crescent City has a temperate climate, with hot, humid summers and dry, cold winters. It rains about 44% of the year, with light to moderate snowfall common in winter.
The government of Crescent City is largely incompetent and focused almost solely on commercial interests, especially tourism. Little attention is paid to concerns of social policy or law enforcement, despite the rather large pit of crime in the northeast section of the city. This has led many to speculate that City Hall is under the direct influence of some criminal force.
This map shows the districts and the main, 2-lane roads. The city has countless one-way streets stringing it together, making car travel confusing and cumbersome. Because of this and its small size, many people choose to leave their cars in one of the city's many parking garages and navigate on foot.
______________________________________________________
FINANCIAL DISTRICT: The Financial District, at the northernmost point of the city, is home to numerous financial institutions such as lenders, stock brokers, tax offices, credit unions, and banks. Crescent Bank has its headquarters and flagship location here - including numerous safes filled with gold and cash but guarded by state-of-the-art security.
ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT: The main tourism draw at the heart of the city. The entertainment district is packed full of clubs, restaurants, theatres, and bars. Its crown jewel is the Pride Theatre, a grand, traditionally-styled venue with dual balconies and ornate wall and ceiling sculptures. A wide range of acts are featured here, from opera to Shakespeare to nationally-touring plays and even the occasional popular music concert. Rumor has it the city's mayor has been courting major awards shows to use the theatre for their big nights...
Also of note is the ScreenWorld Cinemas multiplex. This massive monument to movies contains 37 screens, including two IMAX Digital screens. It brings heavy traffic into the city and often offers special events or promotions for the openings of blockbuster movies or seasonal purposes such as holidays. It also hosts the annual ScreenWorld Film Festival, showcasing independent and foreign movies.
RED LIGHT DISTRICT: Officially part of the Entertainment District, this seedy area has a reputation for crime, prostitution, dubious enterprise, and a lack of police presence. Called by some the "Six Blocks of Sin", this area contains multiple strip joints, porn and sex shops, pay-by-the-hour motels, and stores selling goods of questionable legality. The hottest club in the area is The Lost & Found, run and owned by a rather odd fellow named Xyzillentz. Also of note and great popularity is the nearby Double-Up Casino, which is rumored to fund much of the city's criminal activity.
BRIDGE DISTRICT: What limited and ineffective government the city has is located here. This is where one can find City Hall, the Fire Department, the Police Station, the Office of Tourism, the Office of Entertainment (basically another Office of Tourism), the Office of Environmental Protection (not that there is much of an environment to protect), the Department of Motor Vehicles, and various local shops and supermarkets.
WEST WING DISTRICT: The most affluent and residential part of the city, the West Wing District includes many large homes for rich assholes. There are also gyms, sporting goods stores, health food stores, and a selection of higher-end restaurants. The most noted is Angie's Restaurant, an American-style grill eatery with award-winning steaks and burgers, as well as a variety of fresh seafood from the neighboring riverbank communities.
Standing at 840 feet tall, the Moonbeam Tower is the tallest building in the city, absolutely dominating the skyline. The lower floors contain high-rent apartments, while the top levels include a gift shop and observation deck. Plans to install a bungee jump site are in the works.
EAST WING DISTRICT: Home to most of the city's hotels, department stores, and big-box retailers. Towards the northern end of the district is the headquarters of Zephyr Technologies, a software company noted for its media editors and players as well as its security software. Taking up the entire triangular block on which it is located, the massive complex includes offices, R&D labs, apartment-style employee housing, two onsite employees-only restaurants, a rec center and gym, and of course, a store that sells only Zephyr products.
On the border with the Bridge District is the oh-so-creatively-named East Wing Apartments building. The oldest and most heavily-occupied of the city's many apartment buildings, there are many claims that it is haunted by restless souls. Others claim it is a meeting place for local criminals and possibly even the mafia.
The Riverside Hotel, actually located across the street from the river, is the city's most luxurious (and expensive) hotel. With Grand Supreme suites fetching up to $700 a night, this hotel is the place celebrities tend to stay on the rare occasions they have reason to visit the city. It is also host to many charity events and other social functions in its grand ballroom.
MEMORIAL PARK: Taking up all of Memorial Island and connected to the mainland only by a wooden pedestrians-only bridge, Memorial Park is the only real piece of nature within the city limits. There are plenty of fountains and statues and gardens, but no one seems entirely sure what any of it is actually supposed to be a memorial to. Nevertheless, it is a popular destination for families visiting the city and looking to relax. It also offers boat docking for those city residents who own speedboats and yachts.
