conversations.value: Being a relatively new superhero in a small city is hard enough- the thugs, the super-villains, the cops, the **paperwork!!** Costuming- have you seen the price of spandex recently?  Do these tights make my butt look big? Gadgets and tools. And of course, finding a cool super-name that hasn't already been taken
  
  Never mind dealing with your Mom being on the Other Side, trying to pay rent, working your day job, and trying to find a single decent cup of coffee!
  
  Who has time or energy for romance under those conditions?

  River City is built on a peninsula formed by an oxbow doubling of the Cramer River. Founded in the late 19th century and later repositioning itself as a clean-industry and tourist Mecca, the small metropolis has managed to avoid some of the more egregious issues that plague larger urban centers- but only a few.
  
  
  The City is divided into five Districts:
  
  **Park Center:** Built up around the sprawling green expanse of Cramer Park (tourist attraction by day, outdoor drug-and-mug fair by night), Park Center contains a number of extremely ritzy hi-rise condo complexes and several commercial buildings whose rents per square foot exceed some States' GDP. 
  
  Naturally, the people who live and work in Park are always demanding more City protection. Recently, there's been a rumor that some of the wealthier denizens have formed a coalition to hire mercenary Supers to protect 'their' interests...
  
  **The Mids:**  This is the majority of the residential and business  complex of the City, forming a sort of buffer zone between Park and River Walk. It runs from reasonably hi-ticket at the Park end to a bit sketchy as you get closer to the river.
  
  **Riverwalk:** Riverwalk is really two, or three depending on how you count, separate zones. Lining the water frontage of the peninsula, it consists of:
  
  A central, run-down industrial docks area.  Windmills and solar arrays (carefully protected by electrified barbed wire) crowd for space against cargo cranes and drydocks.  The docks are still modestly active during the day, but like many river and lake towns, have seen better days.
  
  Upriver is a small but cheery-seeming public marina, riverfront beach, and waterview mall complex.  Mid-tier stores and restaurants serve smiling people who then throw up their heavy meals in their riverside hotel rooms. Oddly, nearly every picture taken for tourist brochures of the city show either this district or Cramer Park...
  
   Downriver lies The Houses, a tangle of abandoned, active, and converted warehouses. In The Houses you may find textile wholesalers, furniture makers, underground clubs, burnt-out shells, artists' lofts, hookers, pushers, pimps, burnouts...nearly anything, really.
  
  The Walk got its name from the ambitious ped-and-bike trail that runs the entire length of the district. While it is elevated through most of the Docks zone, and the cops try to keep it patrolled, through-walking it, especially after dark, is only recommended for those with a deep thirst for various forms of verbal and physical abuse. The Marina end is fine, the Houses end is OK...the Docks, not so much.
  
  **Westy:** Westy is your typical quasi-urban/suburban sprawl sprawl. It sits downriver from the core of the city itself, on the shore but not on the peninsula. It's a maze of looping streets left over from an much earlier settlement, made worse by 'urban planners', and is full of small shops, strip malls, mezzo-expensive to modest housing, and professional office parks.
  
  **Outer Ring:** Another band of near blight, where the Interstate dips in close to send feeders into downtown. Slums, package stores, and shantytowns, regularly shaken up by squads of tactical cops, and small teams of low-powered supers.
