Noho

NoHo is a portmanteau of North of Houston and shares the name with the real-world neighborhood.

Background
NoHo is a relatively small neighborhood, between Enwaiu and Bowery. It was once a very rich neighborhood, and still has a lot of the original high-end buildings, though the war has made NoHo a dingy place filled with disease and malnutrition. Similar to Enwaiu, it is overcrowded, and the residents are mostly miserable, yet have also given up on changing.

Inter-City Relations
NoHo has a good-enough relationship with Enwaiu, but the overcrowding of both has caused raised tensions.

Colonnade Row
The people living in Colonnade Row are the ‘rich’ of the Empire Wastes. While the rest of NoHo remains destitute, the large mansion remains. The disparity between the haves and have-nots in NoHo is growing wildly, and they’re running the risk of full-blown revolution.

Astor Library
The library is mostly empty now. The ‘library’ had actually been a Theater for over 100 years before the war. Now, the building is used as high capacity housing.

Those living in the conditions have banded together. Not as a gang, but as a Union, under the leadership of the following:
 * Johanna Lenox
 * Samantha Ward
 * Hariet Drisler
 * Joan Cadwalader
 * Henrietta Potter
 * Stephanie Cruger
 * Steffani Olin
 * Carly Russell
 * Philis Schuyler

Atlantic Savings Bank
In the real-world, known as the Bouwerie Lane Theater, this thin building was constructed in the late 1800’s of cast iron and italianate stone. It’s highly secured, and hasn’t been opened since before the bombs. It could be valuable real-estate if opened.

DeVinne Press Building
A large brick, romanesque structure, the De Vinne Press Building has, similarly to the Astor Library, become a high-volume home for NoHo citizens, while also doubling as a commercial hub for caravans to trade at.
