Welcome to Bishop City

Bishop City; a city filled with strangers who every day meet other strangers, by accident or design. It's a place where it's easy to disappear, but also to be found again, by strangers. For years, the city has been de facto divided into four separate sections; the wealthy West Side, the business district of North End, the realm of the average, South End, and the poverty stricken and gang ruled East Side, but the borders are bleeding, for better or for worse. There is hope in the city for a different future, but what kind of future will it be? Can 'Shop City really change?

COLLEGE
The nearest college is Bishop University, located just outside town. It is an Ivy League college, and the usual destination of most West Side kids, along with many North End and South End kids, and very few East Side kids.
