Lancet

Revision as of 18:21, 18 February 2009 by ZS (talk | contribs)

Lancet is a five-block, shoreside neighborhood in Algonquin, Liberty City. The neighborhood is located along the Humboldt River, and borders Easton and Presidents City to the south by Jade Street, Star Junction to the west by Columbus Avenue, and Hatton Gardens to the north by Nickel Street.

The area is similar with the real-life Turtle Bay and Kips Bay in New York City (based on its proximity with the UN Headquarters). However, several landmarks in Lancet are not necessarily based on buildings native to the bay area and draw inspiration from locations inland. Likewise, neighboring Hatton Gardens share certain attributes with Lancet, essentially linking the two districts more closely.

Place of interest

  • The Zirconium Building (based on the Chrysler Building) at Jade Street, between Bismarck and Columbus Avenue.
  • Prosperous Towers, apartments across Albany Avenue from the Civilization Committee complex, based on co-op residential towers at Tudor City Place and referencing the proximity of the aforementioned Tudor City apartments with the UN Headquarters in New York City.
  • A hospital situated at Albany Avenue and Jade Street.

Transport

Lancet does not have access to train services within the neighbourhood. However, neighboring areas do, with Manganese East station on the A/J Algonquin Outer Line in Hatton Gardens and the Easton interchange in Easton located roughly one or two blocks away from Lancet's limits.

Additionally, a footbridge that connects Broker and Algonquin through the Algonquin Bridge has an exit that leads to Albany Avenue in east Lancet.
