No New Posts && MOCKINGBIRD STREET

Although Mockingbird Street is rather run down due to the lack of maintenance, but the street itself is lively. During the weekdays, Mockingbird is usually crowded. The more crowded it gets, the crime rate tends to increase, but it mostly theft -- kids who just want to feed their families. For a poor, weary traveler, Mockingbird is a good place to settle down for the week. There is a marketplace, a tavern as well as a black market. A place good for trades.

No New Posts && OLIVE LANE

Olive lane is an area where most factories and small businesses are. It is generally a quiet area. The only people who go to Olive lane are employees, as well as costumers who can afford it. There is a brewery where most of the local beers and wine are made, followed by a textile shop -- a place where people can get clothing tailored. At the edge of the lane, leading to the end of a down, there is a coal mine. The coal mine works to heat houses during the winter, as well as provide coal for the trains.

Board Information & Statistics

Board Description
&& THE EAST END
The East End of London is also recognized as being home to the poorest population in the city. Housing accommodations are crowded, unclean, and disorderly. Crime is rampant because no officials take the population seriously, and much of it goes unpunished. Most jobs are factory jobs which have poor safety regulation and child labor. Despite working hard, it seems the people are never rewarded. Sadly, there isn't much hope for those in these conditions to move out of their current situation unless they are fortunate enough to marry into the working or merchant class. The one source of fun is the tavern which is also known to be a local artist hang-out. The art world is competitive, and only a select few move on to have their name recognized, even briefly. Some residents try to make ends meet by becoming involved in the world of theatre. However, to those who are ambitious and willing to break a few laws, here is also where the black-market flourishes. Those involved with it can put themselves in danger for the chance to make coin. It's a hard life for the people in the East End, but sadly, this is where many of the London Residents live, even if they try to pretend like they don't.
