"It is hopeless for the occasional visitor to try to keep up with Chicago. She outgrows his prophecies faster than he can make them." - Mark Twain, 1883
Chicago... It’s your kind of town. It’s the Windy City that’s packed with tourist attractions and underground dangers. It’s the kind of town that can save your life or take it with a wink and a wiggle of a hip. Its history told stories of good guys and bad, people came to this town to see where famous people were shot and speakeasys once housed. It's history dark and haunted, the blood of the soulless seeped into the towns streets and mixed in next to the hot dog vendors that peddled the best. It was a city of chaos and order; it both contradicted and complimented itself. The girls ran hot and cold and the men liked to turn the taps.
There are a million things to see and do in Chicago. Tourist attractions, sporting facilities….. and much more.
Crime
The city had a mob force stronger than any other city in the America. Its current round up is led by a force of nature called Roberto Moran. The man with a thousand bodies in his wake, and a smile that could make a panther, roll over and purr. His personal business touches many areas of the city and his hand stretches into every department of justice. He's left alone because he brings order to the city, controlling the underground world with an iron fist, he keeps squabbles within his reach and never allows innocents to be caught up in his business dealings.
Key Areas of interest:

Undertown
Undertown is a vast network of abandoned tunnels and sunken streets underneath the city of Chicago. Its entrances are fiercely protected by beings no human would wish to meet in a dark alley. It houses entrances to realms of darkness/light and power. The further you get into Undertown, the scarier the beings become. Orcs, Elves, fairies, goblins and other creatures of the world that shimmer, reside below, along with the vampires, werewolves and any other creature based in Chicago. Its entrance is deep within the tunnels at Union Station.
No one enters Undertown unless they have a death wish, or an invite.
Boomtown Books and Bar
Attached to Union Station Boomtown books is run by Jed, a wizard and ex member of the US Marines. It carries everything from your vampire romance to the Egyptian book of the Dead. All are welcome and all are asked to treat the place with the respect it requires. Meaning, don’t pick fights and keep your vengeance outside.
Underneath the small bookstore is a converted speakeasy. Dark and seedy with just a touch of light from flames dancing in the candles that cover the walls, it’s cold stone warmed by the massive fireplace. It was somewhere you could go for a drink and keep your face hidden. He serves up beer and something stronger if you need it, he does not cater for tastes of the delicate kind, you get what you’re given and nothing else.
