Krak Bay

""From what I've seen, this is the best balance between a rad society and standards of living I've yet come across. There's fun places like the Food Court, Kraken Park, floating on the river with its world famous slime slides, and of course the ever popular Furry Club. I wouldn't mind renting an apartment here some day. The thin walls won't be too much of an annoyance with the nice neighbors that inhabit most rooms.""

Bustling commercial area located along the Slime River. Site of the NLACakaNM Krak Bay.

!Look Message
Long street blocks are are densely packed with stores and restaurants, mixed in with townhouses and accompanied by modern skyscrapers and sprawling in-door shopping malls. These amenities and a scenic view of the River of Slime on its coast makes this district a favorite of a juvenile out on the town.

Krak Bay is a bustling commercial district, featuring stores from across the retail spectrum. From economic, practical convenience stores to high-class, swanky restaurants, Krak Bay has it all. It is also home to some of the most recognizable fixtures of the city's skyline, most notably the Poudrintial Tower and the shopping mall at its base which contains the city's prized food court.

Off the nearby riverbank, rusty barges churn their way along the Slime River. Posh riverside apartments taunt you with their cheap opulence. This area contains the Food Court.

Food Court
Inside a large shopping mall lies the city's prized food court. This large, brightly-lit area with tiled walls and floors and numerous clashing, gaudy color schemes has probably not been renovated since the '90s, which is just the way you like it. You are surrounded on all sides by Yum! Brands restaurants, specifically the area is one big combination Pizza Hut/Taco Bell/Kentucky Fried Chicken. In the court's center lies the esteemed Mountain Dew fountain, dispensing that glorious piss yellow elixir for all who patron it. Bustling with life, this is the happeningest place in New Los Angeles City aka Neo Milwaukee for a hip juvenile such as yourself. So hang out with your fellow gangsters, soak in the outdated mall music and savor the moment. When you're old and brittle, you'll wish you spent your time doing this more.

Bodega
Located behind a secret door in a seemingly innocuous corner store, Bodega is a high end clothing store for the freshest kids in the city.

From the outside, Bodega appears to be simply another of the interchangeable convenience stores found on nearly every block of every major city. The windows are completely packed by dusty non-perishables, and the interior is not much better with every inch of space selling snacks or household basics in a visually deafening assault of brand names. However, those in the know simply stroll past all this noise and head for the old Snapple machine in the back of the shop. The machine is not that at all but a door that slides open to reveal a whole other store on the other side, this is the real Bodega. Neatly appointed, lacquered shelves hold the latest in street and skate fashion from shoes to shirts to jackets. The whole space is clean and orderly in a far cry from the cramped store front.

(This description was literally just stolen and lightly edited from Atlas Obsurca. This is a real place in Boston, look it up. Pretty sick, huh?)

The well-trimmed, over-cologned four-eyed hipster behind the counter looks upon you with what can only be described as the freakish offspring of utter disdain and mindlessly sycophantic puppy-dog eyes that hope to lure you into an ill-advised purchase of high end socks that forces you to take out a second mortgage on your house. SHARP INHALE. He’ll !sew the dirty, unwashed rags you dare call clothing back together if it gets shredded in combat, for a price. You can also get your old outfits !retrofit'd with added combat functionalities here, also for a price.

Esplanade
This long sidewalk follows the bend of the River of Slime, all the way from Downtown to West Glocksbury. However, the only valuable stretch of it is here in Krak Bay due to the stores on the other side of the street. This street connects back into Krak Bay. This street is connected to Combat Zone, Minotaur Square, and Golden Gunk Bridge. This street also exits into The Krak Bay Subway Station

Minotaur Square
It's a small park in the center of the district, home to a weekly farmer's market and a handful of seasonal events. Most of the time, though, it's just a place to take a quick breather before heading back to do more shopping. In the center is a statue of friendly mythological half-beast, and inscribed in a plaque next to it is inscribed the words 'dedicated to https://twitter.com/krakissi'.

Goobury Street
This street runs through the majority of the district, and is home to countless restaurants and stores. You'll find actually affordable stuff over by the border with Glocksbury, with bourgeois luxuries popping up more frequently the farther east you go.

Huntington Avenue
It's a wide boulevard, still featuring the old streetcar tracks running down the center of the road. This is a fairly stagnant corner of Krak Bay; everything that hasn't gone out of business has been here for a very, very long time.

The Mall
This place was built way back in the 90's, and it shows. All of the interior decorations are hideous, the paint is faded, and, well, it's a mall to begin with. It's pretty fucking aesthetic, you're not going to lie.

Golden Gunk Bridge
It's one of the main exits out of Krak Bay, a bridge over the slimy waters that U turns around in a perfect 180 back to the coastland. It was initially built to connect the bay and the area now known today as Cop Killtown, but then the vicious gang showed up, so construction was halted and then repurposed into one of the most stupid structures ever made. Its name comes from the yellow hue that the fungus growing on there gives to the bridge.
