Located on the East Coast, boasting sunny summers and mild winters, Port City is an old tourist town that boomed into a vacation destination in the 1960’s due to the success of Roman Labs. Drawing in jobs and notoriety, the NASA affiliate’s association with the Space Race lead to our charming and populous attractions, such as Neptune's Pier with its rides, arcades, and bowardwalk.
Since the Space Race has fizzled out, and the Lab has fallen into obscurity, the town has carried on with newfound success of its unique merits. Port City is found off a main highway, far from the bustle of the northern cities, and sits in a pocket of year-round warmer climate draws in tourists (the biggest flood always occurs in early spring-summer.)
For the locals, Port City is dependent on those passing in and out; otherwise, the town is largely poor, with pockets of suburban developments that house the very rich. Closer to the heart of town there are many ethnic enclaves and neighborhoods reinforced by largely recent immigrants, including that of Mulberry Town, and those of the long-standing Latinx community, and the Bloc, a colloquial (and controversial) nickname for the area inhabited by families with differing ties to the extant Soviet Union and its satellites.
Ready to be recast in the dawn of the 1980’s neon light, the town itself is gearing up to be transformed once again into something new.
