Mass Ave.

Description

The old meatpacking plants have been refurbished as lofts, but over half of the brick-faced businesses to be found here are markets, a handful of which are open well into the late hours. The smell of open-air produce stands lingers along the main boulevard. In a small park, across the street, two elderly men play a game of chess, while a younger crowd bustles along.  

Rumors

A powerful local Gangrel has kept his hands in the affairs of this neighborhood for quite some time. He holds considerable influence over three of the families that own profitable markets here.
