'''King's''' is a district of [[San Fierro]], [[San Andreas]] that lies essentially at the heart of the city, with [[Downtown San Fierro|Downtown]] and [[Calton Heights]] to the north, [[Easter Basin]] to the east, [[Doherty]] and [[Garcia]] to the south, and [[Queens]] to the west. The name ''King's'' (note the apostrophe) is a foil to the tongue-in-cheek name of its neighbor, ''[[Queens]]'', which is San Fierro's version of the famous Castro District in San Francisco, sporting gay-friendly street banners and a welcoming atmosphere. | '''King's''' is a district of [[San Fierro]], [[San Andreas]] that lies essentially at the heart of the city, with [[Downtown San Fierro|Downtown]] and [[Calton Heights]] to the north, [[Easter Basin]] to the east, [[Doherty]] and [[Garcia]] to the south, and [[Queens]] to the west.

Like Noe Valley, King's is a residential/commercial district that is serviced by the cable car system. This district is home to numerous small businesses, all of which are inaccessible to the player. The general atmosphere is one of contentment, but with a modicum of aggressiveness. Members of [[San Fierro Rifa]], who inhabit the south side of this neighborhood, will occasionally accost the player, making for potentially hazardous situations. | ||

[[Carl Johnson]], in a new city with his strange new friend, [[The Truth]], is forced to make a decision: turn the derelict [[San Fierro]] [[Doherty Garage|garage]] he won in a street race with [[Claude]] and [[Catalina]] into a successful chop-shop, or wallow in his own self-pity. With the urging of his sister [[Kendl]] and his closest ally from [[Los Santos]], [[Cesar Vialpando]], Carl sets out to find mechanics to turn the garage into a successful chop-shop. The Truth tells Carl of friends of his in San Fierro that would fit the bill, so the two set out to recruit them. After picking up [[Jethro]] in [[Easter Basin]] and then monitoring the movements of a strange van in [[Santa Flora]], Carl and The Truth set off to find [[Dwaine]], who is working at a hot dog stand at the King's cable car station. Dwaine tells them he has loose ends to tie up before meeting them at the garage in [[Doherty]], and the men head off in search of yet another strange van near [[San Fierro Police Headquarters]] in [[Downtown San Fierro|Downtown]], before finally picking up [[Zero]] in [[Garcia]]. | |||
