The Common Place

Here, life is as normal as it gets. Neither rich nor poor, the folks that reside here have worked their asses off and continue to do so so they can live a comfortable and functional life. There are no beautiful buildings here, mind you. Only large service buildings full of some of the grittiest jobs that earn you just enough money. The houses and apartments are small, most often a three bedroom at the most. It is still a struggle, but not so much as the poor. The middle class children attend the same school that the rich do towards the center of the city, though they are often not included in any of their inner circles. The adults are fighting for their lives to be able to give themselves and their families or future families a safe and happy life. The only fun activities around here are not provided by the city, rather people play baseball or other sports, and some can even go riding in the local stable. Most of the rich find horses outdated and smelly, but the middle class use horses in place of cars, for they cannot afford cars. There is a single bar available for anyone over the age of sixteen, but that is the extent of things to do. Shopping in the mall is a luxury reserved for the Diamond District.
