Ace Chemical Processing Plant is one of the few large scale companies still operating at the same level it was before crime escalated in Gotham. Many citizens - and a few criminals - have a sort of fondness for the plant.

Gotham General Hospital, rebuilt after the infamous explosion, once had the best equipment and staff that could be found. Now it's fallen into disrepair and doctors that chose to stay are lacking in most departments.

The Gotham Police Department was once a force to be reckoned with when it came to the crime in the city. Now, however, the police ranks in the city seem to be composed mostly of corrupt cops or ones that would rather remain behind a desk.

Robinson Park, located in the impoverished area of South Gotham, is an abundance of green - even in the water. Not much of a park for lover's lanes or children, it does, however, attract less innocent sorts of people.

Parishoners of the once thriving church seem to have disappeared as of late. A few devoted faithful still come around for weekly vigils, and others wander through in search of some sense of peace. Rumor has it that those seeking protection from the villains of the city can find it here.

Monarch Theater was an old fashioned movie house located not far from the Park Row district in Gotham City. The cinema eventually closed its dorrs and fell into delapidation, but since that time it has been become one of many safehouses used by the mad Prince of Crime.

The Bristol Country Club once hosted some of the most expensive and extravagant parties in Gotham's history. Now, as most of the wealthy citizens have left the city, the Mob controls events here - you'll be sure to find wild times here.

A trendy Gotham City nightclub owned by Oswald Cobblepot . The two-story, 12,800-square-foot restaurant and lounge included a large pool for pet seals and penguins in the center dining area, an iceberg-like sculpture in the pool, a ship themed dancefloor, and polar decor. It has remained largely intact despite the earthquake, and business is still good.

The seediest, grittiest part of Gotham. It is highly dangerous and dilapidated and has become even more so in wake of the disaster. Gothamites view The Narrows as the city's slums. The area is located on an island in the middle of Gotham River between Midtown and Downtown, connected to Gotham by three drawbridges and a tunnel. Arkham Asylum is located in this area, at the East end of the Narrows. After the earthquake, it was the site of an attempted evacuation, in hopes of protecting the sane inhabitants from the mass breakout at Arkham.

Ordinary, low-risk mental patients are housed here. Those in the minimum security ward receive maximum freedoms including open-access to the common rooms.

Super villains, villanesses, genetically modified individuals, those with an intense criminal history, or those upgraded from minimum security because of bad behavior are housed here. Common room time is limited to two hours a day.

The common room is shared by patients for recreational and social purposes. Maximum security patients must earn the right to access this room. Both minimum and maximum security patients may lose this privilege due to bad behavior.

This rubble is all that is left standing in the section of Arkham that was destroyed by the earthquake. One wall and parts of the ceiling are missing, exposing it to the elements. It's chained off from the rest of the Asylum, but that won't stop a curious doctor or a rule-breaking patient.

The houses of the Brentwood neighborhood range in size and status from one room shacks on the edge of the city to family style ranches fit for five. The heroes and villains usually stay away from this neighborhood - there's just nothing to do.

Gotham's highest priced homes are found here. Now, however, with most of the starlets, playboys, and débutantes gone, the mob owns the majority of the land.
