== Points of Interest == [[The Market]] was officially known as the "Lord Street Market", and so presumably was on or near Lord Street.<ref name="4.1e1">I caught the bus to the Docks, but I didn’t head to the loft. I made my way up the length of the Boardwalk, until the shops began thinning out and there were longer stretches of beach. The usual route people took was driving in through a side road outside of town, but for anyone hiking there, you had to take a shortcut through a series of very similar looking fields. My destination was just far enough away that you’d think you’d maybe missed it.<br/> Officially, it was the Lord Street Market. But if you lived in Brockton Bay, it was just ‘the market’.<br/> The market was open all week, but most people just rented the stalls on the weekends. It was fairly cheap, since you could get a stall for fifty to a hundred dollars on a weekday and two hundred and fifty to three hundred on weekends, depending on how busy things were. The stalls showcased everything from knick-knacks handicrafts put together by crazy cat ladies to overstock from the most expensive shops on the Boardwalk, marked down to ten or twenty five percent of the usual price. There were ice cream vendors and people selling puppies, there was tourism kitsch and there was a mess of merchandise relating to the local capes. There were racks of clothing, books, computer stuff and food. If you lived in the north end of Brockton Bay, you didn’t have a garage sale. You got a stall at the market. If you just wanted to go shopping, it was as good as any mall. - [[Shell 4.1]]</ref><ref> We were cutting through the Docks on our way back from the Lord Street Market, and I guess we were in the wrong place at the wrong time. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/10/29/shell-4-11/ Excerpt] from [[Shell 4.11]]</ref> [[PRT ENE Headquarters]] was on Lord Street.<ref name="9.5e1">She suppressed her annoyance at the child’s gift and offered a smile instead, “Thank you, Parian.”<br/> “Let’s go,” Flechette spoke, “Back to headquarters?”<br/> “Back to headquarters. Come on, we’ll take my shortcut.”<br/> They walked two blocks east to reach Lord street. Beneath the water’s surface, they could see a fissure that ran down the center of the road, zig-zagging from one lane to the other.<br/> Vista stepped out into the middle of the road at the edge of the fissure, then concentrated. She felt her power extend to every solid object in front of her, formed a map in her head. There was nobody out there, which made it easier. Slowly, carefully, she began adjusting. She truncated the length of Lord street, then did it again, repeating the process to make the four lane road shorter and shorter. <br/>[...]<br/> They had reached the PRT building. A trip that had taken them thirty minutes on the way out had taken them four on the way back, with the aid of Vista’s power. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/category/stories-arcs-1-10/arc-9-sentinel-interludes/9-5/ excerpt] from [[Sentinel 9.5]] </ref> There was a bridge over Lord Street on the edge of [[the Docks]] that led almost to [[the Boardwalk]].<ref>The route I took varied every day, at my father’s insistence, but it usually took me to the same place. In Brockton Bay, going east took you to one of two places. You either ended up at the Docks, or you ended up at the Boardwalk. Because most areas of the Docks were not the sort of place that you just breezed through, given the vagrants, gang members and general crime, I stuck to main roads leading past the Docks and to the Boardwalk. It was usually close to seven by the time I got to the bridge that went over Lord Street. From there, it was a block to the Boardwalk. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/category/stories-arcs-1-10/arc-3-agitation/3-01/ excerpt] from [[Agitation 3.1]]</ref> ===Nearby Locations=== [[Taylor]] and [[Danny Hebert]]'s house was on a road off Lord Street.<ref name=" I19e1">They turned off Lord Street, onto the street that Taylor’s house was on. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/03/19/interlude-19/ excerpt] from [[Interlude 19.z]]</ref> The [[Palanquin (Nightclub)|Palanquin]] club was two blocks away from Lord Street.<ref> The club sat two blocks away from Lord Street, and there was a line extending around the side of the building. Glowing yellow letters in an almost intentionally plain script spelled out ‘Palanquin’. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/category/stories-arcs-1-10/arc-5-hive/5-x-interlude/ excerpt] from [[Interlude 5]]</ref> Lord Street passed through [[Genesis]]' territory.<ref>Calvert had dropped me in Genesis’ territory. It was about as far away as I could be from where I wanted to be, about ten minutes drive down Lord street and then a ways towards the water, if someone was driving quickly. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/category/stories-arcs-11/arc-16-monarch/16-12/ excerpt] from [[Monarch 16.12]]</ref> [[Tattletale]]'s lair was in a shelter a short distance from Lord street<ref>The city block that hosted Tattletale’s hideout was a short distance from Lord street, and it sported only two intact buildings. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/category/stories-arcs-11/arc-11-infestation-stories-arcs-11/11-04/ excerpt] from [[Infestation 11.4]]</ref> that used to be an [[ABB]] base.<ref name="10.6e1">Tattletale, I’ve set up quarters near Lord Street, in one of the ABB’s old locations. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/category/stories-arcs-1-10/%C2%AD-arc-10-parasite/10-6/ excerpt] from [[Parasite 10.6]]</ref> [[Dolltown]] was two blocks west of Lord Street. From there it was a 30 minute walk down Lord Street to [[PRT ENE Headquarters]].<ref name="9.5e1">She suppressed her annoyance at the child’s gift and offered a smile instead, “Thank you, Parian.”<br/> “Let’s go,” Flechette spoke, “Back to headquarters?”<br/> “Back to headquarters.

It wasn’t really possible, since I was living at the south end of the city and she was up here. But one night, I got a text from her. Two words: ‘Help me’. I called, but the line was busy. To this day, I don’t know why I took it so seriously, but I got over to my mom’s place as fast as was humanly possible. Ran out the front door, sprinted two blocks to Lord Street, downtown, and grabbed a cab [...] even if I was only fifteen, I was tall for my age, I was fit, and I knew how to throw a punch. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/category/stories-arcs-1-10/arc-4-shell/4-04/ excerpt] from [[Shell 4.4]]</ref>
