The Rack
The Rack of Chicago has moved around and expanded over the years. While it used to center around Rush Street, it has since grown to encompass Wicker Park, Wrigleyville, and Boystown. The Rack has also changed in approach over the years. While it still holds the most opportunity for feeding, it has been declared open market to all vampires of the city if they use discretion and are cognizant of the Masquerade during their feeding. Territory and special feeding grounds have only been made available to citizens who have been declared “deserving” by the office of the Prince and the Primogen Council.
While the Rack holds plentiful feeding opportunities, it also is looked down upon as a location for making a haven. Its dubious reputation for petty crime and public intoxication tends to turn away the elitist attitudes of the Camarilla and the chaotic nature of the location makes some Anarchs nervous, as a situation there can quickly escalate. It is mostly inhabited by fledglings or neonates who are “earning their fangs.” Yet, in a pinch, it is often used for a quick bite and sip for all the Kindred of Chicago.
In the recent past, the CPD have taken a relaxed view on public intoxication and marijuana use. While anyone being rowdy will still be swept into a police car, if you are keeping to yourself, you tend not to find confrontation. The same goes for Kindred within this location.
The Rack has the largest number of bars within the city, and with the advent of the microbrewery, even more people have returned to this area to drink. The music scene around the Rack is also booming, with the multitude of underground rock, hip hop, and electronica venues popping up all over these neighborhoods. The party scene is extremely vibrant, providing +1 die to all attempts at appearing human, as the lively nature of the proceedings infects even the undead. There is also an unfortunate penchant for bravado and fighting.
