[attr="style","padding:4%;"]One of Millennium’s more mellowed out neighborhoods. Forestside is inhabited by white collar workers and retired folks. Packed with tenements and brownstone townhouses. It was first built in 1890s and since then it has been very low on crime.
If one were to take a walk on a pleasant Saturday morning, they would be bombarded by the smell of bakeries, delis, artisanal pastries.
There’s a true sense of community in Forestside. Neighbors always tell each other “Good morning.” when they walk past each other on their way to the morning commute. It’s very rare, the neighborhood in itself is very diverse. It’s very common to hear a new language that one had never even heard of if they were to eavesdrop.
That’s part of what makes keeping a secret identity so difficult. If everyone knows each other’s affairs, then word typically gets around quickly. Especially among the retired old women. Still, despite all of that, living in Forestside beats Duskbürg. Sure, people still lock their doors at night, who doesn’t in all of Millennium City? But at least they don’t have to sleep with one eye open.
At least, when a supersonic laser fires a wave and breaks all the windows in the city, the people of Forestside collectively pick up a broom and start cleaning it up together. If Old man Jackson’s wall gets trashed by a super fight and insurance doesn’t cover it, then the block throws him a potluck fundraiser to repair it.
In a city where calamity can strike at any second, the people of Forestside have decided to ultimately become better for it.

[attr="style","border-left:2vw solid #060807;border-right:2vw solid #060807"]
[attr="style","padding:4%;"]
Mignola & Stern: An antique shop that houses many mementos from famous battles, relics from the past, and many more. It’s a tourist hot spot since everyone wants a piece of the super action.
Hamm‘s Ham Shop: A small butcher shop/deli on the corner of Weisinger street. The meat is fresh and for a fair price, they’ll make customers a sandwich on the stop. More of a local attraction than anything.
Dali’s Deli: A surrealist sandwich shop. They specialize in creating strange, deliciously melted sandwiches and subs. They taste great, but they have more in common with art pieces than food. They’ve gained quite a following on social media, so it’s very common to see people with their cameras out taking photos of their food.
Crown Theatre: A small movie theatre with only six screens, but what it lacks in size. It makes up in luxury. The seats recline all the way down and you can ask for a pillow and a blanket if you want (free of charge). You can also order food from a menu. Standard tickets are $13 without tax. Tuesdays tickets are $9.
Donnie’s Pizzeria: A small mom-and-pop pizza place with a pizza oven. Their pizzas are Neapolitan style and they’re one of the more hidden gems inside the city.
Mars Donuts: “They’re out of this world!” Definitely one of the best donuts in the world. The owners are actually aliens pretending to be humans. The Millennium City Department of Extraterrestrial Activity vetted them and they’re clear. The shop only makes a limited amount of dough per day to avoid a surplus in supply. They open at 6 AM and close at 1 PM.
Entrance/Exit 4B: The main Forestside subway entrance.
