great grocery Great Grocery is the Arden Falls' largest (and only) grocery store. It sells fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, bread, cereal, frozen food, junk food, alcohol, and energy drinks, as well as makeup, shampoo, soap, and cosmetics.
saint peter church Saint Peter Church is your typical chuch. There are masses once on Saturday afternoon, twice Sunday, and once every morning on Monday through Friday. The church also offers confession, Saturdays from five to seven.
reggie's Reggie's is a little bar in North Arden Falls. They don't have a really good selection of alcohol, the dance floor is small, the building itself is tiny, and the music is dreadful- imagine children's educational music meets 1960's line dancing soundtrack. But the prices are decent, and there's usually a decent size crowd on Friday and Saturday nights.
the fountains At the very center of the town is a large water fountain. The fountains looks more like a giant kiddie swimming pool full of mud and spare change, with half-broken hose in the center. The fountain doesn't really work anymore, and it certainly doesn't look pretty. However, it is often used as a meeting place, or just a place to hang out after school or during lunch.
first & second First & Second is a popular club, especially among the underage crowd. They often serve alcohol to minors, although they have been caught, and the police have threatened to shut the place down twice. The music is great, the dance floor is huge, and there is always a crowd.
arden falls junior/senior high school Arden Falls Junior/Senior High School teaches grades six to twelve, ages twelve to eighteen. The school opened in 1954, and hasn't been renovated or rebuilt since then. The bricks on the outside of the building are crumbling, there is no air conditioning, the paint is peeling, and the floors are cracked. The school also has a major lack of discipline- there are always fights, students sneaking in weapons, and breaking ever other rule.

benson and barnes Benson & Barnes is a large building that used to be a part of a mill, but it is now a large, trendy night club. There is one main dance floor, a bar area, and several smaller rooms for private parties. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it is amazing inside.
starbucks Even a pitiful excuse of a town like Arden Falls, there is a Starbucks. If it is already everywhere in the world, they must be on to something good. However, the delicious caffienated beverages are usually too costly for the average Arden Falls resident.
carlene street apartments (6 sub-boards) Carlene Street Apartments owns all of the apartment buildings on Carlene Street, Oakwood Street, and Maple Street. There are usually four apartments in a building, each with their own front and back door. The apartments have two floors, plus a basement. The rent is fairly cheap, although there are a lot of druggies and criminals living in them.
crazy daisy Crazy Daisy is Arden Falls' largest and only music store. Crazy Daisy has a decent selection of music, from every genre and every era. Although they don't have all the limited edition CDs and impossible-to-find soundtracks, Crazy Daisy has something for everyone. There are headphone sets scattered throughout the store for sampling music, and a rack full of music magazines near the front checkout.
crack of dawn cafe The Crack Of Dawn Cafe is the Anti-Starbucks. While the coffee is still delicious, it costs less. The down side? The cafe isn't exactly trendy and modern looking like Starbucks. Instead, the Crack Of Dawn has several mismatching beanbag chairs in loose circles around low, brightly painted plastic tables. The walls are decorated with pictures cut out from magazines, album covers, and old newspaper clippings.
aberman's bakery Aberman's Bakery sells bread, pie, cakes, cookies, muffins, coffee, and pastries. The bakery is famous for its delicious donuts, now available in thirty-four flavors.
eternal hope hospital A large hospital located about four blocks away from Aberman's Bakery. Despite the town being so small and cramped, Eternal Hope is actually quite large in comparison to the surrounding buildings. There are many doctors here on staff and a perscription medication facility so the citizens can get proper healthcare.

garret's garage Garret's Garage is a large, abandoned warehouse in the southern part of Arden Falls. The main entrance is a garage door, hence the name. Garret's Garage isn't the best place to go alone, especially while carrying money. Garret's is a place for gamblers to play card games and bet on races, fights, sports games, and just about anything else. A lot of fights tend to break out, always over one thing: money. Although one might be able to make some good money through gambling, one can also get addicted to it and lose everything.

The Countryside
arden falls state park Arden Falls State Park is located next to a nearby lake. There are twenty cabins, eighty RV spots, a small tent section, an a beach. The park is fairly cheap, and usually crowded in the summer. The park usually is covered with overgrown grass and litter, since it isn't privately owned. However, the beach is fairly decent, and it's the best vacation anyone in Arden Falls will ever get.
