Have an amazing plot idea and need another character for it? Or do you just need someone to rp with? Post it here. No real rules for this board except that you don't discriminate. If a plot is open it is open for everyone, not just the three people who you talk to most often. Beyond that, have fun and come up with something juicy. Tis what we all love.

Here's where you and your horse can go for some riding and training time. There are three arenas so there is always a place to ride that isn't too crowded. All of the arenas have sandy footing to keep it easy of the horse and to make it so it doesn't hurt so much when you fall off, as we all do. The arenas are beautifully kept and are hosed down when they get dusty and raked before a show.

Here's where you can let your horse out for some movement so they're aren't cooped up in a stall all day. There are two pastures for horses that are in pasture all the time, two for horses that need to be out during the day and twenty small pastures for stallions or other horses that need to be alone. If you ask, stable hands will put the horse out for you and put them back in at the end of the day.

The trails that are on the stable property are gorgeous and the envy of many other stables. The river from which the stable got it's named is lovely to look at and at some places shallow enough to cross, as there are no bridges. Anyone can come for a hike on the trails. Three-day-eventers also get their practice in as some of the trails have cross country jumps set up at different heights. There is a map at the main entrance to the woods that will show you all the trails to help you to avoid getting lost and markers along the main trails. Watch out for deer and other animals! The like the woods for their home.

The lobby is where everyone just hangs out. You can watch what's going on in the indoor arena from the large windows. It is air conditioned and heated to make sure it is comfortable. Though there is no carpet because everyone knows how dirty that will get at a stable it is fairly homey. There is a microwave and fridge for your food and a vending machine. With couches and chairs and a tv it's a great place to hang out and some showers will even stay the night so they don't have to get up quite so early.

Grandma June's is the only restaurant until you get into Pittsburg itself, and therefore is always busy. In the morning it serves breakfast and is the best little coffee house, and much cheaper than Starbucks would ever be and of the same quality. For the rest of the day, though, they are a diner with the best hamburgers would could ever hope to eat. No one discourages the restaurant's growth because no one wants to see their favorite place close.

The town sits at the edge of the Chicago River, and it is the cloest they can get to a beach unless they count Lake Michigan and are willing to go all the way into the city. That's okay though, because at this point in the river the water has become clear to look at and he shore is more sand than rock. It's a nice place to go for a little break and dogs can safely play in the water since the current isn't very strong at this point either. If you follow some of the stable's trails you can come to this area as well. Luckily no one in the town seems to care.

Well, it's not very big but neither is the town and most people are okay with that. It has many trails and is always gorgeous as it is kept well maintained. There's a small playground for children and benches for parents to rest on as well. It's a nice place to meet or hang out or just take the dog for a walk.

Temptations is a dance club down the street from Hollywood and Vine. Unlike H&V, though, it's not so upscale, but for those underage people out there, they rarely check an ID. Too bad it's also a strip club. That's the only thing they do really well. Turn to the left when you walk in and there you have a stage and there's always at least one girl on it. Turn to the right and you don't have to see anything, well, except the girls walking around in clothing that requires no imagination.

The mall of Chicago. Though a lot of it is outside it's still nice to shop in the summer and does have some indoor areas. It's very windy due to the proximity to the lake which makes it chilly so most people do try and stay inside for their actually shopping. Still, it has a beautiful view and great intertainment and food.

Everyone knows that Chicago is a dangerous city, and here's where all that danger takes place. From gang actions to prostitution to crimes, it all takes place here. Not much to say about this place except for stay away from it.

Probably the most diverse area to live. It ranges from places nearly as expensive as town living to places in the west side that are held together by duck tape. Most students will live in places inbetween these two extremes and most families live somewhere around this area as well, depending on income of course. There is little by the way of houses in which you can buy, but there are some nice rentable places to live. You can get whatever you want by living here, most of the time.
