Welcome to District Zero.
.png)
CITY HALL
Although small, the City Hall remains the center of all official town business, and both Lincoln and Mitch keep an office here.
​
The deputies also use this as their headquarters. The shift leaders brief and organize their men here and then stay in touch and coordinate via radio during the various shifts. The deputies have created a secure holding area in the basement which can hold up to 12 people, although it has rarely been used except as a drunk tank.
​
This building also serves as a courthouse if needed.
THE MARKET
Overseen by Tom Orchard, the Farmer’s Market (often just called the Market) serves as a central meeting point for trade.
In addition to the locals, the market hosts many outsiders each day, all of which have been vetted by the deputies and searched for weapons. Some set up a stall to trade their scavenged items, foods they have grown, or animals they have hunted, others offer services to residents, while some come just to barter or haggle for what they need and then leave again. There can be north of 30 vendors and stalls in the market on busy days.
The deputies always have a visible presence at the market to prevent any arguments or trade disagreements from escalating, and to help Tom adjudicate any disagreements.
There is no tax for buying at these markets, but Tom makes sure that the District receives some kind of payment from all sellers. Although he says he prefers bullets and batteries, he will take anything that he believes will benefit the district, including favors.
MAIN STREET TAVERN
Now mostly run by Lincoln’s former daughter-in-law, Jemimah, the tavern still serves as a central meeting place for residents. It opens at noon and closes when there is no one left drinking. Moonshine and various other grain alcohols are served, as well as cooked food. Although it’s mostly just Jemimah, there are several people who help her in the evenings, if things get busy.
All drinks are priced in bullets and batteries and payment is given before anything is served. Jemimah is always interested in seeing what people have scavenged on their travels and is always willing to barter for anything that might make the Tavern a better place.
THE BIKE SHOP
Although residents can get access to ethanol-powered cars and motorbikes if needed, most residents use bicycles as their primary form of transport.
The bike shop is run by Emma Hernandez, who spends much of her time cycling around outside the Mile, scavenging parts that she then uses to repair the bikes of others.
She opens the shop to the public two days a week and is always willing to help and teach others.
THE CLINIC
Although not built with any emergency facilities, this doctor’s office is the closest thing to a medical facility the town has, just as Morgan Lieu, a veterinary technician, is the closest thing to a medical professional the town has.
Raised in Delaware, Morgan had been making her way south with a small group that included David Battersby when they stumbled on their way to the Mile. After a short while, they applied and were accepted as residents.
​
As the first person with any significant medical training who had been in the city for some time, Morgan was initially overwhelmed with the number of people that needed treatment, but now that things have levelled out, she has worked extremely diligently to ensure she is keeping the population healthy.
Finding books on herbal medicines in the library and with a shortage of real supplies, Morgan has taken to using herbal remedies whenever possible. She is a regular visitor to the Market and has several residents and locals alike who she taps with finding her some of the harder to find supplies that she needs. She has also asked the scavenging crews to keep their eyes open for any books on herbal medicine they find.
The clinic has several examination rooms and beds, but nothing of much use in an emergency.
THE VAULT
When Wesley and Lincoln decided that the city needed a central storage facility, it seemed oddly fitting that the most appropriate building available was a bank.
Centrally located and close to City Hall and the Main Street Tavern, most of the bank’s more advanced security systems are non-functioning due to a lack of power but there are enough heavy doors with solid, key-operated locks to make this a safe place. It is here that the deputies maintain an armory and Wesley squirrels away various supplies that belong to the town.
There is usually no one at the bank as there has never been any need for an onsite guard, the deputies stop by multiple times a day as they start and end their patrols to make sure the doors are locked, and the building is secure.
THE KITCHEN
As the population started to stabilize and grow, Lincoln knew that food was going to become a problem and he tapped Nana Welch to help find a solution. Nana, who had run the school cafeteria for the high school for almost 20 years wasted no time converting the kitchen of a local restaurant that bordered Centennial Park and setting to work feeding the masses.
Although it is never anything fancy, Nana, aided by the volunteers she calls her angels, prepares enough food daily to provide each resident of the district with one meal a day, served at sundown.
No one is getting fat, but no one is starving on Nana’s watch.
Nana works closely with both Wesley Spencer and Tom Orchard to make sure she has access to the supplies she needs and was heavily involved in the planning for the Farm.
THE COLLEGE
Run by Carol Philips, this previously private facility has been converted to help with more advanced education and training for residents.
Although Carol spends much of her time at the School with the children, she collaborates with people like Tom Orchard, Nate Landry, and Emma Hernandez to organize classes for adults on practical, useful subjects like gardening and growing, farming, basic house repairs, and bike maintenance.
THE MARKET
Overseen by Tom Orchard, the Farmer’s Market (often just called the Market) serves as a central meeting point for trade.
In addition to the locals, the market hosts many outsiders each day, all of which have been vetted by the deputies and searched for weapons. Some set up a stall to trade their scavenged items, foods they have grown, or animals they have hunted, others offer services to residents, while some come just to barter or haggle for what they need and then leave again. There can be north of 30 vendors and stalls in the market on busy days.
The deputies always have a visible presence at the market to prevent any arguments or trade disagreements from escalating, and to help Tom adjudicate any disagreements.
There is no tax for buying at these markets, but Tom makes sure that the District receives some kind of payment from all sellers. Although he says he prefers bullets and batteries, he will take anything that he believes will benefit the district, including favors.
