What You'll Find Here
Anacosta Heights
Dupont Circle
Hawethorn Village
River Dale
Anacosta Heights
Situated above the daily life of the city, Anacosta Heights is a tucked away suburb featuring extravagant neo-gothic inspired mansions. The inhabitants of this neighborhood often show their overwhelming wealth with sports cars lining their long, circular driveways, large pools, and manicured gardens. The homeowners of Anacosta Heights treasure their privacy as seen by the high iron gates to the security personnel present at every entrance.
Dupont Circle
Dupont Circle is a small suburban neighborhood settled within the serene portion of the southern portion of town. These four-bedroom, single-family homes feature back yards, porches, garages, and far more breathing space then the Village offers. This neighborhood often is more family orientated and even has organized events for children and the neighborhood as a whole.
Hawethorn Village
Settled in the middle of downtown, Hawthorn Village consists of several victorian inspired row houses just off the main street. Due to it's convenience to just about everything, the village can be a tad expensive to live within. However, the residents of this neighborhood often have two to three-story townhouses, often with a one to two-car garage. Many of the houses feature bay windows and/or rooftop terraces with a small fenced-in 'yard'.
River Dale
River Dale primarily consists of apartments that, despite their age and industrial appearing interior, still hold to the Victorian history that permeates the town. These apartments are often the cheapest option and sport scuffed, older wooden floors, open floor plans, visible beams, and the occasional brick wall.
wish i could've said goodbye

Homeless life was hard. It was always difficult to find nice places to shower or change clothes. Her tent only did so much. It was cold and barren and often times, Emmy wished that she could sleep in some other strangers bed just so she could sleep on a real mattress and not a sleeping bag on a small foam pad.
And yet, somehow, Emmy made it work. What little money she made from singing on the streets and in small venues she put towards food and decent clothes. She would not look like some of the bums you saw at the intersections begging for money. Emmy would never beg. She would work hard for what she had. Eventually, she was sure it would pay off. Until then, what she did would do for now.
In this small, quaint neighborhood there was a retirement home. It was mostly rich folk, a few that needed far more care than they wanted to admit to. But they had a standing Wednesday afternoon contract with Emmy. They paid her $75 to come and sing a few songs on her guitar just after lunch. The residents seemed to enjoy it.
This afternoon the home decided to have the small concert outdoors. Thankfully, they had plenty of standing heat lamps that kept everyone cool. Emmy was able to sing and play her guitar while they all listened and stayed warm in the brisk 52 degree weather. Emmy's voice was always soft and flowing, beautiful if you ever got to hear it. She was still living her fantasy, still hoping that one day she might be discovered.
Once her concert for the afternoon was done and she was paid her money, Emmy packed up her guitar and began the hike back to the bus station. As she was walking out of the gate, she turned to wave at Mr. Robinson who was telling her for the thousandth time how much he loved her visit. When she turned back around to leave, she slammed right into the young Asian man walking past her looking at his phone. "Oof." She tried to minimize the damage as best she could, but she had a feeling she was not as successful as she had hoped. "Oh my God, I'm so sorry! Are you hurt?" She hoped he was okay. She didn't have money or insurance to pay for anything other than a bandaid.
