Eastside

Home to the majority of the City's Eastern European population, Eastside grew from the influx of immigrants following the war. walking down the main street you're just as likely to see a sign in Cyrillic as you are English.
Three-story brick apartment buildings are clustered closely together here, each one all but identical to the last. Small, fenced-in yards, some badly in need of moving or watering, separate the complexes from one another. Through the narrow alleys between the buildings, the distant lights of the city can be seen, far to the west of the neighbourhood. The wind kicks up for a moment, and a merry-go-round in a small playground squeaks in protest, rotating ever slowly in the breeze.
