Of course the North side also houses the THE HOUSE OF SATYR, but it's main front is a Modeling Agency run by Ms. Aurelia Aysun.

WEST SIDE
The West side seems to be where the working class people like to spend there time, with places like THE DEN, THE BARN SWALLOW, TEASERS being the places to get a drink or have some fun after work. Families can take trips down to ROONEY'S PET STORE, or buy fish at FREDDIES'S FISH MARKET. People and sell used or stolen things at MS. PINKY'S PAWN SHOP, and then repent for their sins at ST. MICHEALS CATHEDRAL before they drop their kids off for lessons at KAY'S DANCE STUDIO. The STORMBROOK CEMETERY may not be the best place to be during the evening hours, but neither are the WAREHOUSES AND FACTORIES and THE DOCKS. The East Side is the home of THE HOUSE OF LEVIATHAN run by Ms. Yukiko Nakahara.

THE SOUTH
The South side is rather debatable, some say it more like the slums of Stormbrook, while others say it's like a small city of it's own with all it's family friendly shops like, ITCHIBONS ice cream parlor, and LEO'S CONEY ISLAND, the local coffee shop THE BEAN BARN, but then there are places like NO INHIBTIONS a trashy night/strip club where nobody knows what goes on up on the second floor or at least they aren't telling if they do. Then there are places like GALLOWAY LOUNGE where you can have a karaoke night with the gals, or you can have a guys night at KINGSTON CASINO. Of course there are the other shops like SECONDHAND SERENADE where you can donate anything you want and pick up anything you could ever need for a low price, or you could go spend all your money on some antiques at BASKERVILLE'S ANTIQUE SHOP before buying your lady a nice necklace at JANET'S JEWERLY PALACE and a coupon for a hair cut at MAMA'S BEAUTY SHOP. Every city needs a YMCA for the boys and girls after school or the guys and women after work, even the guys and gals at TAZER'S TATTOO PARLOR head in the occasionally just like the students at STORMBROOK COMMUNITY COLLEGE do as well. If you are looking for a cheap place to stay for awhile or just one night then LA VIDA LOCA motel is the right place for you. Now if your car breaks down the BENNETT MECHANIC SHOP is the place a lot people like to go since it's cheaper than the commercial brand and probably fixed better too. On the South side you can live anywhere with the RESIDENCES ranging from houses to apartments over shops and complexes take your pick, but THE HOUSE OF GRIGORI is strictly occupied by Mr. Malachi Serveria and his many "Employees and Associates".
