Hell’s Point makes up the southwestern edge of the Combat Zone and sits below Churchend. The central block and northern tip are mostly businesses, while the 2 southern blocks are primarily housing. Like Churchend, Hard 8 claims most of this territory, but 2-3 Set has been pushing up from the South in their bid to move in and support Stomp against Slaughterhouse and has taken over the southernmost block. As of yet there has been little issue between Hard 8 and 2-3, but if 2-3 starts pushing north then things will get messy.
Moving diagonally from the wall to the Marsten Complex, Xavier drive seperates Hell’s Point from Churchend. And in fact is the main entrance to the Marsten Complex itself. Vehicles that approach to close to the entrance are scrutinized carefully by sentries on the ground, in the buildings, and on the rooftops. Slaughterhouse has been known to shoot anyone driving to close in tagged vehicles. They are tolerant of Hard 8, and while they have no official alliance, they do have a mutual understand and respect, especially since Hard stands between Slaughterhouse and 2-3.
The neighborhood itself is trashed, and just gets worse the further south you go. Several businesses still exist here, ALONG Xavier street, starting at the southern end you have SJ’s Auto Parts. Bella’s Restaurant, Parkchester Funeral Parlor, Gretchens hair and nail salon, and a bar called The Bitter Sea, something of a landmark in the Zone, next to Daddy Greens Pizza at the northern tip.
Most of the other businesses have been burned out or the owners fled. Those that are still standing and are in any way inhabitable have been taken over by squatters. The homes and apartment buildings that make up the majority of the buildings exist under similar circumstances. |
