It is a ten story building, and has been a department store all its life. It was built for the purpose in the early twentieth century.<br/><br/>Built by Chester Boulcott it is now owned by his great grandson Liam, a well appointed apartment is maintained on the top floor of the building for the owner. This is spacious, with five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a huge living room, a large kitchen, dining room, library, study, games room, smoking room and a ballroom for entertaining. The aparment also has a walled roof garden that has fallen into a somewhat overgrown state in recent years.<br/><br/>Building security is fairly strong. Following a series of break-in's in the mid 80's the store has electricaly powered steel shutters on all external windows and glass doors on the first and second floors. All other external doors, to the underground car park, the loading docks and service entrances, are all heavy steel, with steel frames. The underground car park has a heavy steel shutter and is sealed. The building currently has something of the zombie fortress about it. There are three sets of glass doors on the front of the building all covered with heavy duty shutters, two loading docks at the back of the building, in a walled off loading area. The walls of the loading area are brick, twelve and a half feet high and topped with razor wire. The gates are see through wrought iron, and would eventualy give to the pressure of body after body pressing on them, though it would likley take something over five hundred. There are four external steel doors, two in the loading area, one next to the underground garage, and a staff entrance down a side alley. These are all very sturdy and will not give to the living dead. A determined human with the correct tools however could gain entrance.<br/><br/>Basement level 3 - Records, Elevator maintenance room, Gas fired furnace, Machine room, Tool Store, Entrance to forgotten civil defence shelter (Origonaly built as an air raid shelter, later re-built and retrofitted as a fallout shelter. Equipment and supplies date from the fifties. The food is all canned, and still edible, the equipment, air and water filters, could be brought back up to working standard with a few days of concerted effort by an engineer. The tanked water however is highly suspect, and will need replacing if the shelter is to be used, though the tanks themselves are in very good condition. The generators in the fallout shelter have their own fuel tanks that are intact and full.)<br/><br/>Basement level 2 - Emergency Generators (installed following the large east coast brownout in 2002), Diesel tanks for generators, Overspill staff and visitor (not customer) parking.<br/><br/>Basement level 1 - Main Staff Parking, customer parking, small security office.<br/><br/>Floor 1 (Ground floor) - Fragrances, Ladies clothing and accessories, Giftwrap, Ladies Jewelry, First floor of warehouse, Loading docks.<br/><br/>Floor 2 - Mens and childrens clothing and accessories, Shoes, Mens Jewelry, Lost and Found, Customer Service, Second floor of Warehouse.<br/><br/>Floor 3 - White goods (Fridges, freezers, washers, driers, vacum cleaners etc), Camping Hiking and Outdoor life, Sports Goods, Third floor of warehouse.<br/><br/>Floor 4 - China/Crystal, Cook and Dinner Ware, Kitchen Electricals, Housewares, Tools and DIY, Luggage, Bathware.<br/><br/>Floor 5 - Stationary and Office Supplies, Hardware, Firearms and Hunting Gear (mainly shotguns some hunting rifles a few pistols very small section in store).<br/><br/>Floor 6 - Brown Goods (Tv's, stereos, DVD players, VCRs,  computers & accessories, other household electrical goods), Administration offices, Accounting offices, Staff common room, Staff lunch room, Staff kitchen, Other staff facilites.<br/><br/>Floor 7 - Books, Media store (CD's, DVD's, Games), Speciality foods, Art Supplies, Customer Service, International Services, Administration offices.<br/><br/>Floor 8 - Carpets, Rugs, Furniture department, Soft Furnishings, Interior Design, Bed and Bedding, Unused offices.<br/><br/>Floor 9 -  Hair and Beauty Salon, Restaurant, Kitchen and food storage for restaurant, Boardroom, Meeting Rooms,<br/><br/>Floor 10 - Storage rooms, overflow offices, empty rooms and Owners Penthouse Apartment.

The factory closed in the seventies and the warehouse space sold to a string of other businesses before being bought and converted for media use in the early eighties by the founders of KRZR. The buidling is accessed either by the main front doors or by a keycard and code lock steel security door down side alley after hours. The front security desk is manned during daylight hours, the smaller desk at the back door at all hours. There are almost always at least one or two staff working in the building overnight due to the overnight nature of modern broadcasting. Security is good in the building the large glass frontage is all safety glass though would give with enough bodies pressing up against it, it will resist casual assault by the undead.<br/><br/>Basement - Server farm, IT office, tape and drive storage<br/>1st Floor -  Lobby in front & canteen in back<br/>2nd Floor – offices & news studio room & equipment storage<br/>3rd Floor – offices & dressing rooms (crew personal rooms and full bathrooms)<br/>4th Floor – radio station & offices (break room for naps)<br/>5th Floor – executive offices (personal small fridges and bathrooms)<br/>Roof - Dish array - Six main satellite dishes, eight small ones, eight line of sight microwave antennas.<br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>TNT Surplus</strong></span></span><br/><br/>Owned and run by the Maxwell family. A very secure building in a bad neighbourhood. Steel shutters all around that are locked from the inside at night. The family live and sleep on the upper three floors while the ground floor is turned over to the store and the basement to a stockroom. All the windows to the basement are bricked up and have been for over ten years since a major break-in. The Maxwell family are conspiracy nuts and have supplies in the basement for 'the upcoming Bilderberg world takeover'. Food, weapons, medical supplies, water, everything they could need to survive if they have to stay locked up in the building for up to two years.<br/><br/>The building is brick built, very solid, and quite old possibly one of the oldest in the city, like the department store, dating back to around at least the great war.<br/><br/>The shop floor is full of old military gear, clothing, tents, boots, packs, tools, and mabe some machette's, knives, firearms (Some de-activated, the rest in secure cages), memorabilia etc. Camping equipment, both used and second hand, work gear, knives, batons, handcuffs, clothing, second hand stuff from the police, fire service, ambulance guys, post offices, all from various countries in the western world.

Hidden panel in the wall of one room leads through to stairs down to a sub level built in the fifties as a bomb shelter, now used to store the families emergency supplies. The five room shelter is quite large and very well stocked and equipped. They have a very large supply of food, water, clothes, entertainment and arms in the shelter.<br/><br/>Ground Floor: - The main shop floor, all the windows have metal shutters that pull down and lock in place just inside the glass, the doors have an inner set of very sturdy metal security doors that slide out from the sides and lock in place. At night the ground floor is practically a fortress. The yard at the back of the building has a fifteen food brick wall topped with a foot of razor wire. The yard has been turned into an urban food garden where the family grow a good amount of their vegetables, grains, fruit and herbs. They also have a well concealed in a gazebo that was dug in secret given the local government never would have allowed them to dig such a thing if they had asked for permission.<br/><br/>First Floor:- Main living area for the Maxwell family. Their living room, kitchen, dining room, study and  powder room are on this level.<br/><br/>Second Floor:- Bedrooms. Holly, Penny and Nicholas all have their own rooms on this level.

Its a very large facility with very good security. There is a large car park enclosed by a fourteen food chain link fence topped with barbed wire tilted outwards.<br/><br/>Entry to the car park is controlled by a large sliding gate with a small security building.<br/><br/>One whole side of the warehouse consists of thirty five loading docks for big rigs, there are usually at least several trucks here no matter the time of day with deliveries and outgoing shipments going on day and night.<br/><br/>The warehouse itself is a huge mostly open space tall and wide with masses of rack space filled with pallets. A small army of rechargeable all directional high load forklifts service the warehouse which is semi automated and uses an RFID system to track all stock within the building.<br/><br/>There is an office block on a raised platform at the back of the building with administration, staff facilities including small canteen and toilet/shower blocks, management offices, store rooms, the main security office, meeting rooms and other such things. There is also a small Costo Online department serving the needs of the online orders for the state and those surrounding served by the warehouse.<br/><br/>There are several high security areas where high value and high risk of theft items such as cigarettes, liquor, jewellery and IT equipment are stored which are protected in large caged areas, access restricted by badge.<br/><br/>Given the season there is a large number seasonal items in the warehouse, Christmas and New Years stuff, which has priority stacking near the main loading dock prep areas.<br/><br/>Anything and everything you would expect to find in a Costco can be found in the warehouse including frozen food items. Fresh food is generally handled by smaller local suppliers and so is not found, yet longer term stores such as canned goods, rice and pastas, spices, chips, sodas, bottled water are all available in the building in massive abundance.<br/><br/>The building itself is high security with thick steel doors and no windows. All internal light coming from skylights and strip lighting. Besides the roll up loading dock doors there are two doors to the staff areas and eight emergency doors on the warehouse floor around the building. All are badge controlled with the emergency doors on a twenty second timer once the bar is pushed. The loading dock doors automatically lock when lowered and are very secure.<br/><br/>Though the offices do have windows these only face the inside of the warehouse itself and so will not require painting over so as not to attract Zombies.<br/><br/>The whole place is full of cameras inside and out controlled from the main security office.<br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">The Judith Ridley Memorial Mall Romero New York</span></strong></span><br/><br/>Located just outside of the downtown core in the suburbs the The Judith Ridley Memorial Mall is a shopping mecha. With three wings housing an Ikea a Target and a Sears its a three level affair with a great many stores housed within the building.<br/><br/>The upper and lower floors are quite vast with a large food court with double height ceiling in the middle of the three wings. The basement level is fairly small by comparison seeing as it also houses the underground section of the parking.<br/><br/>There are staff/goods delivery corridors behind all stores with five staff bathrooms on each non basement level and a small staff canteen along with one large security office all behind the scenes. There is also a series of administrative offices and on the upper level a well stocked civl defence storage area. Each department store has its own loading docks (two per store) as part of the underground parking. The main mall has one large eight bay dock also as part of the underground garage. There are four freight elevators and two passenger elevators in the main loading docks to aid dissemination of goods out to the various stores from the main underground dock.<br/><br/>The ground floor has entrances at each department store, one large grand entrance opposite the food court and several smaller ones around usually at cardinal points for the public. All are large glass affairs that are made of good thick safety glass and would take a lot of effort to break through. Enough zombies pressing on them will do it so best efforts to either block off the entrances or to not be seen by zombies during the first few days while their sight is still good are highly recomended.<br/><br/>The upper floors have extensive skylights and no windows, while the basement is all electrically lit. There is a pedestrian entrance on the lower level that consists of five large glass doors in from the underground parking.<br/><br/>There are various steel security doors that lead to the staff areas of the mall.<br/><br/><br/>The listing of stores is as follows.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Department Stores</span><br/>IKEA<br/>Target<br/>Walmart<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Apparel &amp; Shoes</span><br/>2 Cute<br/>Aeropostale<br/>American Eagle Outfitters<br/>Champs<br/>Charlotte Russe<br/>Christopher & Banks<br/>Designer Shoe Outlet<br/>Express<br/>Famous Footwear<br/>Foot Locker<br/>Forever 21<br/>Frederick's of Hollywood<br/>H&M<br/>Hollister<br/>Hot Topic<br/>Journeys<br/>Justice<br/>Lady Foot Locker<br/>M&M Menswear<br/>Men's Wearhouse and Tux<br/>My Tees<br/>New York & Company<br/>Old Navy<br/>Payless Shoesource<br/>Premium Lounge<br/>R&R Leather Shoppe<br/>Rainbow<br/>Stride Rite<br/>The Children's Place<br/>Traffic<br/>Victoria's Secret<br/>Wet Seal<br/>Zumiez<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Accessories</span><br/>Charlotte Russe<br/>Claire's Etc.<br/>Lids<br/>New York & Company<br/>NYS Collection<br/>R&R Leather Shoppe<br/>Rainbow<br/>Simply Cell Stuff<br/>Sock Drawer<br/>Sunglass Hut<br/>Watch This<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Cell Phones/Electronics/Video/Media</span><br/>Apple Store<br/>AT&T/Cingular Wireless<br/>Cell Mart Kiosk<br/>Cingular Wireless<br/>Gadgets and Gizmos<br/>Gamestop<br/>HMV<br/>Metro PCS<br/>Radio Shack<br/>The Sony Store<br/>Virgin Boost Mobile<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Eye Wear &amp; Eye Care</span><br/>Cohen's Fashion Optical/General Vision Center<br/>NYS Collection<br/>Sterling Optical<br/>Sunglass Hut<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Food &amp; Restaurants</span><br/>21 Toppings Frozen Yogurt<br/>Arby's<br/>Auntie Anne's Pretzels<br/>Boston Market<br/>Boulder Creek Steaks & Saloon<br/>Buffalo Wild Wings<br/>Candy Heaven<br/>Chinese Gourmet Express<br/>Johnny Rockets<br/>McDonalds<br/>On The Border Mexican Cafe<br/>Panera Bread<br/>Pizza Hut Express<br/>Pretzel Maker<br/>Sbarro<br/>Starbucks<br/>Subway<br/>Sushi.com<br/>Wendy's<br/>KFC<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Gifts And Stationery</span><br/>Disney Store<br/>Periwinkle Boutique<br/>Spencer's Gifts<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Health and Beauty</span><br/>Bath & Body Works<br/>General Nutrition Center<br/>Nails 2000 & Day Spa<br/>Plaza Barber<br/>Proactiv<br/>Temptations Perfumes<br/>The Threading Station<br/>Walgreens<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Jewelry</span><br/>Ailin's Jewelry<br/>Benny's Jewelry<br/>Kay Jewelers<br/>Piercing Pagoda<br/>Sterling Gallery<br/>Unique Styles<br/>Zales Jewelers<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Pet Supplies &amp; Services</span><br/>Romero Pets<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Photo &amp; Photo Services</span><br/>Photo Gift Center<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Services</span><br/>Best Alterations (Tailor)<br/>Bank of America<br/>C&C Market Research<br/>Capitol One Bank<br/>Dental Center<br/>Fligel, Brint & Co., CPA's & Tax Tips<br/>Komara Nationwide Insurance<br/>Newstop<br/>Pharmacy<br/>Tae Kwon Do Karate School<br/>Tax Tips Inc. & Fligel, Brint & Co., CPA's<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Specialty Shops</span><br/>A Dollar and Deals<br/>As Seen On TV<br/>Dollars 'n Things<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Sporting Goods</span><br/>Huntin' Fishin' Campin' an Shootin'<br/>New York Golf Center<br/>Zumiez<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Toys/Games</span><br/>Disney Store<br/>Gamestop<br/>IKEA<br/>Friendly Local Game Store<br/>Toys"R"Us Express<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">External Stores, Restaurants and Bars</span><br/>Applebee's<br/>Big and Tall<br/>California Pizza Kitchen<br/>Indigo<br/>Jasmine Garden<br/>Jones Convenience<br/>Little Bit O' Britain<br/>NCIX<br/>O'Donnels Irish Pub<br/>Red Lobster<br/>Rona<br/>Popeye's<br/>TGI Friday's<br/>UPS Store<br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/>
