(area was never called Little Italy)
Line 9: Line 9:
In GTA III, set in 2001, the area is in the process of demolition of old buildings and large-scale redevelopment with the construction of '''Staunton Plaza''' (due to be completed "next fall"); much of district has also been dug out. [[Panlantic Construction Company]], in charge of the area's development, is suspected by the [[LCPD in GTA III Era|LCPD]] to be one of the many fronts for the [[Colombian Cartel]], which may explain the presence of Cartel members and [[Cartel Cruiser|gang cars]] in the area.

Fort Staunton is revealed in GTA Liberty City Stories, set three years earlier in 1998, to be an Italian district, a once vibrant district populated by historical commercial and residential low-rises, not unlike [[wp:Manhattan|Manhattan's]] [[wp:Little Italy, Manhattan|Little Italy]], with many of the Italian residents in the area. Notable landmarks in Fort Staunton include an opera house, a fountain square, a pedestrian street, and a museum.

Fort Staunton was [[Bringing the House Down|destroyed]] by [[Toni Cipriani]] in GTA Liberty City Stories, after he placed several explosives in a disused subway station connected to an unfinished section of the [[Porter Tunnel]]. Many buildings, including the opera house, were destroyed. [[Donald Love]], who secretly gave Cipriani the orders, invested in the area's real estate until the Columbian Cartel (through Panlantic construction and the recently-deceased Avery Carrington, who formulated the plan) demanded shares by nearly killing Donald Love. It can be assumed, following events in GTA Liberty City Stories, that the Colombian Cartel-controlled Panlantic Construction Company eventually moved in on Fort Staunton's redevelopment, clearing away nearly all remnants of district in preparation for the groundbreaking of Staunton Plaza.
