South Slopes: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:38, 13 July 2008

South Slopes is a neighborhood in central Broker, Liberty City. It is bordered to the northeast by the Broker-Dukes Expressway (Beechwood City), to the north by Earp Street (Schottler), to the west by Montauk Avenue (Outlook), to the southwest by the Algonquin-Dukes Expressway (Hove Beach), to the south by Deadwood Street (Firefly Projects), and to the east again by the Broker-Dukes Expressway and an unnamed body of water.

Influence

South Slopes appears to be an amalgam of many central and western Brooklyn neighborhoods: it is a brownstone-laden neighborhood with a diverse population. However, it's more likely a recreation of Park Slope, given its name and location adjacent to Outlook Park (in real life, Park Slope is west of Prospect Park).

Points of interest

Within South Slopes boundaries lies a police station at the intersection of Erie Avenue and Sundance Street.

Transportation

The Schottler station of the Liberty City Subway is actually located within South Slopes - not in the adjacent neighborhood to the north for which it is named, as its name would suggest. The station is located at the intersection of Sundance Street and Seneca Avenue. Its mezzanine, entry staircases, and viaduct on which it is located appear to have been modeled after the Ocean Parkway station of the New York City Subway. It is served at all times by the 3/8 Broker Line.
