Studio City

This is the Home of Colonial Studios, an older flatscreen movie studio which achieved some fame in the years after the Collapse. Founded by avantegarde director Franscesco Cippolina and his partner Greg Lukasian, Colonial produced the now classic films Smile of the Lady Xanadu, Destiny over Damascus (with it's memorable tribute to Orsen Wells' Thrid Man), Messiah of the Endless Sea, before descending into trashy obscurity with Drive-in double-bills like Killer Mechanoids from the Amazon Planet and Demon in D-Cup.

C5#1 Main Business Offices:

These three buildings house the business offices of Colonial Studios. The building fronting Sterling Avenue is architecturally reminiscent of the big studios of the 1940's, but the remaining offices are purely functional in style. Personnel, payroll, legal, and production duties are all carried out in these office spaces.

C5#4 Studio C:

This location is nothing now but a gutted shell of a building. A fire, started by an unknown arsonist, destroyed this studio soundstage and killed two security guards who were trapped in the flames. At the present time this structure is awaiting demolition and will be used by the owners in a future project. There is a temporary wooden construction wall around this building. To enter the damaged structure would be very unwise as it is in danger of collapsing.

NOTE: The basement of this building was not damaged by the fire itself, only by water. Without the notice of the studio, a group of "undergrounders" have moved into this basement by digging tunnels into it from a nearby closed- down sewer. With some forty members, these homeless individuals have set up shop producing unlicensed filter masks and pollution protection clothing for their fellow undergrounders.

C5#8 The offices of Z-KNT (QFM 104):

The four floors of this office building hold the business, production, and transmitting facilities of one of Night City's most successful and progressive radio stations.

Zee-Night's format of high power rock and its late night interview/talk radio concept has kept it in the forefront of the audio industry for three consecutive years. Many rockers who've gone on to great fame were first heard on Zee-Night's spotlight show for new local talent. The show is hosted by ex-rockergirl Renee Reynard, whose knowledge of the inner workings of the music industry and low dulcet voice are perfect for the station's "insider" format.

C5#9 United Non-denominational Churches of God(s):

Religion is very important to many people in Night City, but the realities of life in this twenty-first century urban sprawl have created many problems. Crimes committed against churches and their parishioners have forced many non-secular groups to form religious co-op's. One such cooperative is the U.N.C.G. Using old shopping centers as a base, the shops and chain stores are leased, renovated, and redecorated to the specific needs and tastes of each religious order. Over forty recognized religions are found here as well as two dozen non-denominational services scheduled in several open chapels at this location. An open soup kitchen for the homeless capable of serving six hundred people is also an integral part of this facility.

There are also many businesses who join the co-op for profit: New Age Cryonics, Inc., Final Rest Euthanasia Centers, and several national funeral franchises such as Carter and Sons Internment.

C5#11 Libertine Lanes:

An anachronism from the original town of Del Comonado, this old bowling alley still stands as a reminder of simpler times. Featuring thirty-two lanes constructed of real wood (!), a small bar and a holo-game parlor, the lanes are often used as a favored hangout of juviegangs living in nearby conapts. Libertine Lanes is also the scene of frequent gang fights. Dorphers usually sell their wares openly until their juve lookouts warn them of approaching cops:

C5# 12 Brookhaven Co-op:

Brookhaven is a good example of low-cost apartment housing for low-income families throughout Night City. Built by corrupt, cost-cutting city contractors from substandard materials, Brookhaven can barely stand up to city building codes. The only thing that is in any way superior in construction at Brookhaven Co-op is the plumbing. Because mistake in a computerized order sent the best plumbing materials to be installed and by the time the mistake was detected, the building was finished. The apartment units have one bedroom, a kitchen, and a bath. This building is run as a co-op, so the tenants keep it clean, and provide some security in the form of neighborhood watches.
