a new expressive note wall has been set up in rodridgos park, a social experiment claims the park instructors. write your own little notes, expressing whatever you may like. write back and forth between each other or just vent your feelings. And with, of course, a choice to being anonymous or not.
where the black horse restaurant used to be located, the small lot between the shops has been leveled down by the current fire outbreak, and because most of it has been burned down due to being made mostly out of wood, the entire broken down restaurant was leveled and leaving it as a empty lot, where the younger populations of bedfordshire have been hanging out -- not always for the best reasons. vampire blood has been said to been sold here often.
if anything, ladora is the only thing that keeps homer village alive. With small stores, restaurants, and a grocery store -- it provides the inhabitants of homer village everything to 'survive' upon.
most of the bedfordshire population lives in the largest part of homer residences. With charming little houses from small to huge -- its a great place to live. although it can tend to be a richy rich society, it is open to any kind of person that would like to live here. large roads lead from each side of the residential buildings, all leading down to downtown bedfordshire.
with an exquisite fountain in the center, homer park is one of the largest attractions in homer vllage. it houses the greenest grass in the area and a plentiful amount of benches and the like; it's a highly social area for those who enjoy a more outdoorsy environment.
the largest and public school in bedfordshire, it rests right in the middle of homer village, giving it a very safe-like environment surrounded by mostly homes and apartments. because of it being the main public high school in the area, it has a very large student base, and mostly every kid in bedfordshire goes here for grades nine through twelve.
the highlight of all bedfordshire. the parties, the drunks, the everything. many shops align the side of this two-forked road. traffic is horrible -- both with people and cars. everything from clothing stores, movie theaters, and even restaurants dot the sides, making mezza square very popular for a late night out. including bars -- which produce plenty of drunken inhabitants late at night. it is both extremely dangerous and horribly fun. a win loose situation.
centered in, literally, the middle of bedfordshire is the biggest park you could imagine. its the trademark of all bedfordshire -- a prized piece of property that brings many people out just to see it. every single tree, flower, plant can be found in this park -- with little walking trails. all of the trails lead up to one area. what gives the park its name. a little stage-type gazebo is located in the very center, where every friday night are little concerts from small bands. concert park has also been known to hold small festivals and meetings.
the backstreets of downtown bedfordshire could be considered the 'ghetto' if you will. everything is destroyed, looking more like a garbage dump then any possible living quarters. with long dark alleys and criminals of all sort -- not many people even dare walk down these back streets without a nice little gun in their pocket. but the back streets hold more then just criminals. the blood sucking lamia make their home here.
this cafe was originally built a few years before the hunts began and was run by a mated couple of illusionists; as soon as the hunts began, they were among the first to be killed, and the place was taken over and remodeled by humans. today, it is the most popular cafe in bedfordshire.
located right square in the middle of the downtown is the very expansive bedfordshire general hospital, the largest and only medical station in all of this large city, for space is limited and was made, quite literarily, right in the middle of bedfordshire, making it equal lengths from anyone in the area. and because it is so large and extensive, it's the only hospital really needed.
where the dangerous and completely uncontrollable defiance run their gang activities. well, used too. due to the fire outbreak the entire building has been burned, leaving only ash covered stone ruins and crumbled down walls. no one has found any interest to stepping anywhere near it. as of now the place just seems rotting and abandoned. not much survived the fire, and not a lot of people really made it out.
every fall, bands from across the country and otherwise all come together to play a week of music. singers and groups alike, popular or not, can get their first starts and crowds can come to enjoy the music. anyone's invited and tickets are unneeded, but be careful, as the concerts go into the night it tends to get pretty eventful -- considering the bar is always open.
to say that bedfordshire is surrounded by a forest would be an understatement. bedfordshire is surrounded by forest upon forest upon forest, excluding the neighboring cities, of course. once you enter these dark, mysterious woods, you had better know the way you came, because it's one tricky maze of trees that all look the same laced with paths that don't exist.
this is a popular hangout for the humans due to the road that connects bedfordshire and the lake. by night, however, it is usually populated by supernatural beings - normally vampires or werewolves, occasionally even both.
these caves have yet to be discovered by the humans that dig them up and such for a tourist-like attraction, but instead, the dalen tend to live here if they are too frightened or 'wild' to live in bedfordshire itself. there are several caverns, and most of them connect, though only through one or two paths. very few humans know of its location, so it makes it the ideal home for paranoid and/or reclusive dalens.
ahh, the city of love! enjoy the eiffel tower in the moonlight, walk the streets and admire the many historical building and landmarks, maybe even find your soul-mate. the shopping here is ideal, and the weather is always moderate, plus the places to go are endless!
it has been described at the greatest and most beautiful city of all of greece! with the ruins of the many buildings built long ago, and the quaint little sea-side places to explore, along with the cliff lip that overlooks the water, the colors will draw you in.
london is the capital and largest urban area of england and the united kingdom. with it's famous landmarks, and beautiful history, it's an ideal place to vacation, or to live. see the market, or the library! There is much to see here.
judging my the board heading, i guess it's obvious. for any non bedfordshire place...go here. hell...you can go to narnia and chill with assland if you want to.
