Laud Memorial Park
Named after British Archbishop William Laud, the park was originally meant to be a well-maintained green spot in the middle of the city. That lasted for approximately twenty years, until the Industrial Revolution set in. Whilst it looks comparatively nice compared to the rest of the city, the park is still rather poorly maintained and badly looked after. It's the hangout of bad youths out to score some drugs. Normal people to also visit the park, looking for respite from the day-to-day life in city. As such, during the day one can encounter dog-walkers, joggers and such like. Crime is less prevalent during the day, and it can actually act as a nice, romantic hangout during the Summer.
The park is a centerpoint in the city, with the famed Corporation towers bordering each side of the park. Hyde Shipping to the North, Summers Industrials to the East, Brookhyder Entertainment to the South and Wilmot Banking to the West. The towers are rather awe-inspiring to look at, making the area somewhat of a tourist spot.

Industry Mile
Industry Mile is, as the name implies, the Industrial Centre of Bishop City.
All manufactured goods are produced within the area by Summers Industrials, with various specialised factories dominating the landscape. It is also home to low-rent housing for the workers that live near it. The working conditions in the factories are largely sub-standard with the workers also being paid very little for their jobs. Each factory is overseen by a Summers Family Enforcer, who also manages the illegal activities that the Summers Family also indulges in.
Health facilities are sorely lacking in the area, but they are present. The subpar Bishop Bay General Hospital is located near the docklands, but it is typically visited as a move of desperation rather than a first line of intervention, as it is currently sorely underfunded.
The East Docklands of Bishop City are also located in this area, with shipping connections to other states along the Eastern Seaboard and worldwide.
Crime is rife in Industrial Mile, both organised and petty, as a result of the sheer deprivation in the area. Health problems, mostly connected to respiratory issues, are also higher in this area of the city, simply as a result of the smokestacks and lack of environmental control in the area.
Notable Heroes
Blackflight: Blackflight was Bishop City's original protector and possibly most well-known one. Regarded as an Urban Myth both in his original career and much after it, he operated predominantly in secrecy. Using an advanced arsenal of technology and highly trained Martial arts skills, Blackflight rooted out much of Bishop City's organised crime throughout the 1980s, only to disappear in the year following the Battle of Detroit. Blackflight, to the very few that met him, was cold and detached, focused only on the goal. In a fight, criminals feared him for his overt aggression and mind-games through his lack of speech and noise. Many apprehended criminals also developed symptoms of PTSD in his earlier years after encounters with him.
Recently, Blackflight his resurfaced in Bishop City again, with theories suggesting that it is due to the increased Sideshow Syndicate activity throughout the country.
What no one knows is that Blackflight is, in reality, John Summers, wealthy businessman of the Summers family and Bishop City socialite.
