Switchtrack Alley: Places[]
7th Congregational Church The Church is in the middle of the block on Church Street. Weathered and beaten it has endured despite the urban decay surrounding it.
Sloppy Joes Dinner[]
Sloppy Joes is a diner just off Church Street in the Switchtrack alley district.
It's an old traditional diner, with a slightly greasy chrome counter and faded red seats in the numerous booths.
Gang members from the Switchblade Disciples and the Big Head Boyz have been known to go and eat there.
The owner Joe Wasowski is an old thin Jewish man who seems quite glad to have some cops in the neighbourhood, especially ones who chase off the gangs and tip generously.
Events:[]
Following a concerted effort and the work of dozens of volounteers the players organised a community clean-up day. Residents of Switchtrack Alley were seen cleaning the blood stain at the site of the Reverends shooting and after John Bishop laid a wreath there, it was joined by a number of anonymous flowers. The gangs did not interfere and Lay-Z was not seen. Since the clean-up the bloodstain has faded away.
