Angel Falls-Civic Life

Many Angel Falls residents get around by driving and the city is relatively "car friendly" although there are the occasional traffic problems, particularly in the Downtown area. Angel Falls offers several other transportation options, as well as ways of getting into and out of the metro area.

Numbers (1 through 8) designate the different subway lines. Angel Falls Union Station is the oldest subway station in the city, opened during Angel Falls Centennial celebration. The pride and (usually) joy of the AFTA is the city's monorail system, running around in a ring around the downtown metro area, carrying passengers quickly around the city. The Monorail runs on an elevated track two stories above street level with regular stops at street side platforms or even inside some buildings. Two tracks run in parallel, allowing trains to run in both directions at once. The Monorail is a popular means for tourist to see the city, as well as inexpensive public transportation.

High Stone Walls surround the park, pierced by open wrought-iron gates every few blocks. One paved road immediately inside the walls encircles the park and is a major jogging path. Two paved roads cross the park north to south and two more east to west, but only for foot traffic (along with bicycles, skateboards, and rollerblades) is permitted on them.

The past few years have been some of the park's best and next year looks even better as more and more people are paying visits to Ocean Heights. The Park is surrounded by a high Chain-link fence with a single entrance toward the south. The Amusement park features several rides, including a Ferris Wheel, Roller Coaster, Log Flume, Haunted House, Hall of Mirrors, and a number of other smaller rides like a Tilt-a-Whirl, Bumper Cars, and so forth. Rows of Traditional Arcade Games and an arcade building with modern electronic games are popular with the local kids.

Stands serve Fried Dough, Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, and similar foods, while Candy and Caramel Apples are traditional fare in the late summer and early fall. Ocean Heights is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day in the summer and closed down the rest of the year. Management sometimes rents the park for private events, which can keep it operational until November 1st or the first snows.

== Casinos ==
Gambling is legal within a number of hotels and casinos within Angel Falls. Money pours into the city with newer and glitzier places going up all the time. The Angel Falls Mob has a stranglehold on the casino business, and a lot of the Mob money gets laundered through the casinos. Although some in the city government would love to shut the gambling industry down, but it's a valuable source of revenue and tourism for the city, to say nothing of the jobs its provides for the city. If there's to be any hope of improving the economy, the city has to live with the Boardwalk and its casinos for the time being, at least.
Paudriac's Getaway – Resort, Casino, Brothel and Convention Center
Atlantis – A hotel and casino built on an aquatic theme, Atlantis features a massive fountain with a statue of King Neptune and his frolicking nymphs outside. It's heavily decorated in gold leaf, marble, shells, and gauzy fishing nets. The Colors of everything are predominately sea greens and blues. The below ground restaurant (specializing in seafood, of course) features a wide window looking out into the South River, and the glass tabletops rest on tanks of exotically colored fish. As might be expected, the Atlantis casino is none too popular with actual Atlanteans.
Paradise – The Biggest and oldest casino on the Boardwalk is Paradise, owned by Al Driogano, the most powerful mobster in Angel Falls. The casino features all sorts of card and dice games as well as rows upon rows of slot machines. It also features nightly entertainment from singing to dancing to stand-up comedy routines. The police and the local FBI office keep a close eye on Paradise, although Big All is smart enough to keep the public face of the "family business" clean.
Hedon Resorts and Casino - Planned to open in 2012. (owned by CandelaGreene)
== Social Life ==
Get a large enough group of people together and they naturally gravitate toward those who share their interests. The people of Angel Falls are no different, and many different clubs and social groups can be found in the city, some of particular interest to super and their associates.
=== Clubs and Organizations ===
Numerous clubs and social organizations cater o the Interests of people in Angel Falls. They include various ethnic heritage clubs. These organizations promote cultural festivals and education for youth and adults on their heritage. Organizations like the Masons are common in Angel Fall, with a Masonic Temple in the area. There are also veteran's organizations like the Veteran's of Foreign Wars and the like.
The Cape and Cowl Club – One exclusive club in Angel Falls is the upscale and utterly discrete C&C Club, located in a rebuilt Tudor-Style mansion on Eden Island. Unknown to the general public, the C&C stands for "Cape and Cowl" and the club caters solely to costumed adventurers, super or not, offering them a place to met and relax in the presence of their peers. The club's history and tradition dates back to when it was known as the "Black Mask Club" in the 1930s. Club rules require formal dress and prohibit costumes. Members are expected to attend in their "civilian" identities, although they're not required to reveal their real names, and domino masks are permitted (and even provided, if a member wishes). More than a few club members attend in some sort of a disguise that does not involve their usual masks. Concerns about eavesdropping are alleviated by the club's hidden security; any attempts at surveillance by any means only pick up scenes from Marx Brothers films rather than the exposed faces of club guests. No one asks how the security works, but everyone is glad it does. The club is well known throughout the superhuman community, and people come from all over the world to visit it (particularly those about to travel quickly and discretely). However entry is by invitation only unless someone is a guest of an established member. The Club's owners remain anonymous, although rumors abound, claiming a trio of retired heroes active in the 1940s own the Cape and Cowl, that it's a secret government operation to monitor supers, a front for super-criminals, or the Albright institute's latest means for gathering information.
The Midnight Society – The Midnight Society is the most exclusive social club in Angel Falls, and quickly on its way to becoming one of the most exclusive in the world. It includes some of the wealthiest and most influential people in the country and throws the most exclusive parties. Membership is by invitation only and such invitations are a social coup of the highest order, rarely, if ever refused. The Club has a reputation for old money, Old World Charm and civility, and a high degree of snobbery. At least part of its popularity is in direct proportion to the exclusivity of the C&C Club. As it happens, supers are not invited to join the Society. It's not an official rule, but no superhuman has even been invited to become a member of the club.
The North Bay Yacht Club – One of the more prestigious organizations in the city, the North Bay yacht Club accounts many of Angel Falls' wealthiest and most influential people among its members. The Club is based at the North Bay Marina and its annual summer regatta is a major social occasion.
