Editing Boardwalk (section)

==History==

===Post-[[Battle against Leviathan|Leviathan]]===
The Boardwalk was completely destroyed when [[Leviathan]] made landfall in the [[Docks]],<ref name="8.2">At the end of the road, downhill, was the Boardwalk, or what was left of it.  From what I could see through the downpour, the wooden pathways and docks had been shattered by the initial wave, to the point that many were standing nearly straight up, or were buckled into fractured arches.  Water frothed and sprayed as it rushed back against the ragged barrier that had been Brockton Bay’s high end shopping district. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/06/extermination-8-2/ Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.2]]</ref> leaving it unusable. Efforts to rebuild the Boardwalk began almost immediately, though efforts were impeded by the presence of the [[Archer's Bridge Merchants|Merchants]].<ref name="11.1">A scene up ahead caught my attention.  Two pieces of machinery lay in a heap just below the lip of the boardwalk above.  A bulldozer and an eighteen wheeler with a crane-mounted claw attached had both been driven or pushed over the edge of the boardwalk and onto the beach.  The cab of the truck with the claw had been partially crushed by the bulldozer. Though it was barely past six in the morning, a group of laborers were already there, some on the ledge above, others down on the beach, all gathered around the trucks.<br><br>Spray paint had been used to draw the same crude symbol on both the side of the eighteen wheeler and the concrete wall separating the beach from the Boardwalk above.  A capital ‘M’, with two taller lines drawn vertically through it much the same as you’d do with a dollar sign.  The Merchants. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/05/19/infestation-11-1/ Excerpt] from [[Infestation 11.1]]</ref>. [[Coil]] was involved in the reconstruction efforts as well, anticipating that the new real estate would be particularly lucrative.<ref name="11.1a">Coil owned at least one of the companies that was managing the restoration and reconstruction efforts, and over the past two and a half weeks, as his crews had started clearing and rebuilding on the Boardwalk, he’d had them set up some buildings, all squashed together.  When the Boardwalk was fixed up, these same buildings would be at the westmost edge of the same block that had the stores, restaurants and coffee shops.  If the Boardwalk ever got going again, they would be prime real estate. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/05/19/infestation-11-1/ Excerpt] from [[Infestation 11.1]]</ref> The Boardwalk and its surrounding area was controlled by [[Skitter]], and was considered by civilians to be a low-risk safe zone where one could receive free supplies.<ref name="11.4">The Boardwalk and surrounding area?  Green marker, ‘Skitter: Low threat, free supplies?’ - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/05/29/infestation-11-4/ Excerpt] from [[Infestation 11.4]]</ref>

Reconstruction was set back by [[Burnscar]], who burned down the majority of Skitter's territory during her attack.<ref>[[Snare 13.4]]</ref>

===Post-[[Battle against Echidna|Echidna]]===
Reconstruction continued with new streets, sidewalks, and buildings. Was held together by a sense of community.<ref>All around us, the Boardwalk and what had been the shadier parts of the Docks were coming together.  New streets, new sidewalks, new buildings.  There were more people out and about than there had been just ten or fifteen minutes ago, and everyone present was getting ready to work or even starting early.  Building something as a community. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/03/21/chrysalis-20-1/ Excerpt] from [[Chrysalis 20.1]]</ref>

===Post-[[Timeskip]]===
Taken over by [[Tattletale]], [[Grue]], and [[Parian]] after [[Skitter's Surrender]].<ref>“Okay, let’s get down to business,” Tattletale said.  “Forrest, Charlotte, we’re backing you up, on Taylor’s behalf.  As of now, the Boardwalk doesn’t fall in just one person’s territory.  Parian, Grue and I will each have a hand in protecting it.  As of tonight, it should be the safest place in the city.  That’s all already handled.  You’ll have our numbers, in case of emergency, but you should only use it if there’s real trouble.  Supervillains attacking or something like that.  This all goes more smoothly if we don’t maintain any obvious connection between our groups that can be exploited.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/18/interlude-22/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 22.x]]</ref> Prospered with the economic boom caused by the opening of the interdimensional gateway in the city.{{cite}}

Completely submerged underwater when [[Scion]] shattered Brockton Bay.<ref>My old territory, unrecognizable.  The Boardwalk was underwater now. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/13/extinction-27-1/ Excerpt] from [[Extinction 27.1]]</ref>
