a large marketplace located in the center of town. there are a huge variety of shops and stalls, selling everything from food to clothing to animals. nearly everyone in boston does their shopping here.
in this large building, all of the younger children attend school on a daily basis. the teacher passes their knowledge down to them, otherwise known as "the future of boston." the elementary school features grades from preschool up until 5th grade, and each grade group receives different level assignments suiting their age group.
this is the school for higher leveled students, ranging from 6th grade up until 12th, when the students can finally graduate. it is much larger than the elementary school. masters and their assigned servants are always placed in the same classes. be careful around here, though. discrimination amongst the masters and servants is not uncommon. servants are picked on frequently. even some of the teachers take part in this.
here resides the homes of boston's inhabitants. most of the houses are not extremely fancy, but there are a select few who get the privelege of living in large homes. nearly sixty percent of boston's population reside in apartments or town homes, due to the fact that the city is just too crowded to put up too many houses.
believe it or not, the library in this town is one of the more popular places visited. it's a huge building, with the widest collections of books you've ever seen. there are two floors, with a small starbucks coffee shop in the corner of the first floor. people frequently come here to just to relax and to read. public computer and internet services are also available.
the town's graveyard has been said for years to be haunted, although no one knows how this myth got started. since the master and servant tradition began, everyone born in boston has been buried here. therefore, it takes up a huge plot of land that would take you days just to walk all the way through.
for the adults in the town, the pub is always a hot spot. owned by mr. and mrs. zondervan, there's pool, a dart board, and of course a bar serving alcoholic beverages. just like any bar or pub. but, that also means there's loads of people who make the mistake of having a little too much to drink, which might cause some commotion throughout the town.
located in the north side of the town, where boston originally began. this set of old buildings were some of the original structures, and were all refurbished about twenty years back. they are still kept in the best condition possible, however, to signify the town's history. as of now, most people just come here to venture around some of them, or to simply get away.
because boston is located next to the ocean, this is a popular place for the townspeople to visit, even if they rarely swim in it's cold temperatures. some of the locals go fishing and boating. friends and families often visit the rocky beach below the docks just to get away for a day and watch the boats that depart daily.
this large, fancy asian restaurant serves a large variety of dishes. your dinner comes with entertainment, for the food you eat is prepared right at your table. it's the perfect environment for a romantic dinner with that special someone.
much more low-key than sihouettes, wilson's has some of the best food around town. it's main dishes are hamburgers, steaks, chicken, and a variety of soups. great family environment.
