BOOM MUDDAFUGGAS: Map. So, we've got a bunch of roads now to give Venice some shape. We can see some of the skeleton of the infrastructure so that's cool. We've also got a bold gray line marking out Metropolitan Venice. Its cramped, compacted, maybe even "cozy." It's where you'll find all of the tall buildings, business centers, and city conveniences like subways, trams, buses, The Cove, and the such. Everything outside of the gray territory is basically suburbs and rural lands. Lots of beach bungalow/condo living up and down the beach. On the lower end of the bridge, near the site of all those murders? Some suburban cul de sac living across the way from the now defunct baseball diamond. All up the way from Venice Community High School. Here it is.So there it is. Also, with a general idea of layout, lemme know where your houses are on the map. Also, there is now a factory on the map. Because why the hell not. No one can stop me. |

I want to say that Colleen's foster-care figures have some kind of inherited house that's used for such philantropic purposes on one of the Keys. The neighbourhood assocation isn't that big a fan of it, but it's there. Maybe on the big one in the top-middle?

 BH= Bishop Household Black Square= Yet unnamed Pharamacy Powerhouse H.Q. If this is cool. I want to say Aidan lives in area I'm temporarily calling "Avery Hills" . A kinda posh neighborhood upon itself which is essentially part of Venice-proper but the people there kind of like to think of themselves as a separate entity. Boutique craft shops, bakeries and all the lovey crap upper-middle class and rich families love. There is even a private golf course nearby. I kind of want to see there is an Arboretum and Botanical in the northwestern area . Heavily funded by a older and perhaps now deceased) philanthropist" whose family perhaps still holds some sway. |

I imagine the place as having one big "rich coastal family" area, and then the rest of it city property / random beach. With that in mind, I see no reason to add yet another rich neighborhood when one has been supplied! Plus it puts me near Aidan.

So, here it is againThis time we've got Avery Hills labelled, some more roads, with some housing in the Hills, as well as some others to imply the main streets and boulevards with boutiques and other happy crap those people like. We've also got the golf course drawn in, and I dropped in some letters for Colleen's Foster Home and for Kaitlynn's family's house not too too far from Aiden's. We just still need Silas' house.

 Silas lives with his mother, father, and grandmother near the edge of the metropolitan area, in a two-story whatever-kind-of-architecture-is-appropriate-for-Florida-what-do-Floridians-even-live-in. |

 A ways north of "The Cove" is a recreation of the Campanile di San Marco (the green triangle). A surprisingly faithful recreation and surprisingly not that tacky. In 1997, a lone gunman had used the tower to make an attempt on Mayor Russel Bryce's life during the opening of the Venice City public library. In the ensuing chaos 10 civilians and 2 bodyguards were wounded; 3 civilians were fatally wounded and the gunman's life was eventually taken. After public uproar, the landmark was redesigned as a clocktower. At first some attempts were made to keep it thematic and add a clock face matching that of the Torre dell'Orologio. But the result was rather horrendous, and the piece now sits somewhere in city hall. Ultimately they went with a simpler design. |
