Grant Park

Grant park, named honoring President (and former Vancover resident) Ulysses S. Grant was acquired by the city in 1922. Originally a show of force by Prince Fabienne, Grant Park was a terminated skyscraper, that was to be named Grant Towers. It was planned as a grand home and business center for a rival Kindred who had groomed and prepared the ghoul Ulysses S. Grant to Presidancy.
Prince Fabienne, upset that Black Friday 1869 had come to light, canceled the construction and had it rezoned to a park and school to punish the Ghoul's carelessness. Unfortunately, Fabienne had followed the advice of Grant's Regnant, and attempted to utilize the gold-hoarding and stock manipulation of Goald and Fisk. When the scandal rocked the country, the word on everyone's lips was that Fabienne had lost close to 25 million dollars (not accounting for inflation).
Annoyed, Fabienne bestowed the park to Victor Le Prix (who in turn eventually gifted it to his childer), for his continued support of The Crone, and declared the School and its children as off-limits for feeding. Furthermore she banished the Kindred from the city, and forbade anyone from mentioning him ever again.
On October 13, 1995, the Beverly Cleary Sculpture Garden for Children was dedicated in the park. To commemorate this event, Prince Fabienne lifted the ban on feeding from the school's children.
Although the park is technically in the domain of Le Prix's childer, Quentin, the park sits in bureaucratic stasis due to Quentin and Le Prix having a falling out. Quentin has left Portland for Vancouver, and Le Prix has been attempting to reacquire Grant Park ever since.
Grant Park, due to its status and location is an often used meeting spot by members of the coterie. Gangrel Neonats are also known to frequent it as a hangout, or feeding grounds.
Belial's Brood currently has cast a ritual upon one of the trees in Grant Park, if one wipes kine blood on the trunk, it summons a representative of the Brood. Only 2 Kindred know of this, Derrick, and Nick.
