'''Bedford Point''' is Liberty City | '''Bedford Point''' is a financial district in southwestern [[Staunton Island]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. It borders [[Torrington]] to the east, [[Belleville Park]] to the north and an specified body of water to the south and west. | ||
[[ | == Character == | ||
[[Category: | Bedford Point is a commercial core in Staunton, housing much of the city's massive skyscrapers, museums and galleries, which are primarily concentrated towards the north, east and south. In comparison to depictions of neighboring [[Torrington]] as a place of "big business" and formality, Bedford Point's occupants are seemingly more culturally-inclined and less formal in appearance. | ||
The district has no gang activity, although some businesses pay protection to the [[Yakuza]] as noted in "[[Shima]]" in GTA III. | |||

The center of the district is the city's equivalent of New York City's [[wp:Times Square|Times Square]]. Here, the player can see many signs that advertise businesses and other stuff like [[Punk Noodles]], [[69th Street]], [[Funcola]], [[Top Down City]], [[Flashback FM]], [[Doghouse]], [[Gasoline]], [[Half-Cocked]], and [[Liberty Soul FM]]. A functional digital clock and temperature gauge, as well as another analogue clock, are also featured in the GTA III rendition of the area. | |||
Bedford Point contains a church on the west side with two cone shaped towers; this is most likely home to a Liberty City convent. In [[1998]], during GTA Liberty City Stories' timeline, there was a [[Liberty City Cemetery|graveyard]] near the church, complete with the people who died, notably the storyline characters. By GTA III's timeline in [[2001]], it is replaced by an opera house leaving the church little more than a narrow strip of land for use as a cemetery. | |||
The district also houses the second tallest skyscraper (after another in [[Torrington]]) in the city, which happens to be the tallest in GTA Liberty City Stories as the aforementioned Torrington skyscraper is only half its height. | |||
In addition, Bedford Point contains an [[Staunton South LCS|underground subway station]] for the [[Subway in GTA III|Liberty City mass transit system]] at the southeastern corner of the district. The subway will take players to [[Portland LCS|Chinatown]], [[Shoreside Terminal LCS|Francis International Airport]] and [[Rockford LCS|Liberty Campus']] upper subway station. | |||
