Horace Elementary: An elementary school just next to Lindell High and for that reason, it's the choice school for most kids in the eighth grade and below living in Enoch. The school emphasizes instilling in students integrity over competitive drive which creates rifts between its faculty and that of the high school.
Lindell High: A high school in the middle of town. Holding white and blue as their primary colors, they lack in few facilities, competing regionally in just about every sport, and ranking among the best ten in the state in terms of standardized test grades, undeterred by their status as a public school. A sign of Enoch's prosperity, both past and future.
State College: Most of Enoch's student population move out of state after high school. To those without the budget or grades to leave, State College is the ever-popular alternative. Its buildings and facilities are all renovated recently thanks to donations from local businesses. Their cafeteria sports a Burgermeister's as well as other notable chains. Enoch students often say that the work here is easier than in Lindell High.
Hospitals
Slaughter Memorial: Named after primary donor John Q. Slaughter, Slaughter Memorial has long since shaken off its name, having started its life with a skilled and reputable cast of doctors, and maintaining a steady streak of them since. Patients are lost, but it is always with the understanding that they received the best care possible in the city. Movements to rename the building have consistently fallen through, the hospital board holding it in respect of the man who saved so many lives.
Stella County Hospital: Just as respectable as Slaughter Memorial, Stella County still struggles to maintain the same level of quality shown there. They've been succeeding in recent years, and are in fact capable of performing several procedures no other hospitals in the area can.
St. Caroline's Medical Center: An old, privately-funded hospital that has been the source of rumors around the web. It's natural when the hospital in question has been sued for malpractice several times over the years. Some of the hospital's more frequent patients usually are those types that have trouble keeping their hands clean.
Shopping Malls
Sundale Mall: Having acquired its name (despite Enoch not being particularly sunny) at the same time as its design, Sundale Mall could be considered more of an outlet, the vast majority of stores entered from roofless sections of the mall. While many of the stores hold luxury items such as jewels and fine clothing, Sundale knows the advantages of variety, and normal clothing and bookstores can be found all over as well.
Ariadne Shopping Center: Having started its life startlingly true to its name, Ariadne Shopping Center once suffered from design problems which led to low popularity that plagued it for three years. Renovations followed, and now it consists of three sections with fifty stores each, ranging from clothing to electronics. They are all connected to each other through their ends, glass hallways suspended above streets permitting it from one side, a central area from the other.
Lenway Plaza: A modest plaza popular among the younger crowd, Lenway holds a cafe, three elegant restaurants, clothing stores, and a couple of shops focused on miscellaneous items, be they quirky decorations for your home, or souvenirs to remember your trip to Enoch. The architecture is particularly progressive, what with the front walls of each store being clear glass. The more solid parts of the building seem to be colored white.
Hotels
Venus Plaza: A relative-sized hotel out close to the beach. They offer a continental breakfast with each of their rooms. Since opening, they seem to focus their advertising more towards younger couples.
Four Saints Resort: Enoch's acclaimed four star resort. This tower of a hotel is actually four different buildings connected to one another. They're designed with eastern patterns featuring five different creatures like the dragon in the north, phoenix in the south, tiger in the west, and turtle in the east. The fifth is a mystery. The best rooms cost a king's fortune.
The Milton: A family-run hotel in the middle of town. The Milton has become something of a local attraction, charming visitors to the city with its rustic design. Elevators are controlled by lever, and keys look like keys. Wi-fi and air conditioning available.
The Centurial: Despite what the name implies, the Centurial is a recently-developed hotel that's having trouble competing with the Four Saints Resort just a few blocks down. Its rooms are new, clean, and always furnished, offering a relaxing, yet casual experience for its guests. It's a shame that they don't get many.
Movie Theaters
Narrowroad Theater: The most modern theater in Enoch. Its floors, chairs, and aisles are all usually perfectly clean, but as the days pass, you may find more gum sticking beneath chairs. Unlike the other theaters, this is where you want to go if you're into 3D movies.
Imperial Stage: A stage theater and one of Enoch's oldest treasures. It was designed in a classic style that's been called a fair, yet failed attempt to emulate the Globe Theater. They're in the middle of performing an overly long epic that's said to last months.
Lucida Theater: Somewhere between the two other popular choices, the Lucida has a decent number of screens available to customers, with a traditional look to complement them. They have an expansive collection of reels from old movies that the owner sometimes likes to watch after closing.
Enoch Public Library: Not quite as used as it once was thanks to the advent of the information age, the library still remains as majestic as ever thanks to government funding, vast quantities of books adorning its interior. If nothing else, the lack of regulars ensures that silence is kept at all times. A library pass may be integrated into your cell phone as a preventive measure against losing it.
Enoch Police Station: A symbol of justice in the city of Enoch. Or at least supposed to be. In truth, police corruption has ran rampant in recent years, the low wages paid to police officers in Enoch being the main cause for such. That's not to say honest officers don't remain, but a single person can often do much more harm than good.
The Post Office: A small post office residing close to Lenway Plaza. A small variety of office supplies cover the interior, with a copy machine standing out in the corner closest to the entrance. A good choice for delivering packages to places out of Enoch.
Amusement Parks
Weelsby Land: What sounds like a bizarre name to outsiders benefits from having been ingrained so deeply into the minds of the people of this city. By now, no one bats an eye at the name, and most children are able to recite the complete ensemble of characters held by the brand, starring a roguish bear kids have taken a shine to. Gustav Weelsby, the park's founder, claims to have had a beer with the bear while recounting his time during a war.
H2World: Open only close to summer, H2World spends the rest of the year designing water-themed attractions. While close to a few rivers, Enoch is not set near any particularly large bodies of water, so most people look forward to the chance of entering the park the entire year. The success they receive at this time makes up for their absence the rest of the year.
Warehouses 1-9: The warehouses are down by the docks and all perfectly vacant to be rented out. They're large enough to be able to accommodate more than a dozen people during the nights. Look into city records closely enough and you'll see that there was a tenth warehouse once. Whatever happened to it?
Lear Research Institute: [REDACTED]
Orville Vitter City Park: The city park, named after Enoch's founder, is often the most ideal spot for campers and nature lovers to take a break from city life. The State National Forest is just further into the grassy fields and just next to the mountain hiking path. Watch out, though. Bears have been known to roam.
Enoch International Airport: This is where you may leave Enoch at a relatively small fee from your phone. Be advised the Seleção system will be rendered useless anywhere else.
Restaurants
Loaf and Heart: Enoch's famous local bakery, a family restaurant established since the early 1920's. Whenever you come here, you can be guaranteed that anything that comes out of the oven has been properly made and treated with a mother's tender love. Although, the mother that used to own the bakery has since sold it to the Burgermeister's chain.
Burgermeister's: Every city has one. Burgermeister is not at the top of the ladder when it comes to shady rumors or modifying their food, but they're not afraid to throw some of that in. Naturally, every restaurant comes with a jungle gym. and the price is affordable enough. Ask about their bacon sundae. Better yet, don't.
Circumference Buffet: An international buffet just sitting near the Madison Rec Center. It's not the priciest of restaurants and most of the city's elderly come here for its breakfast specials. It's said that this restaurant literally offers a taste of each country. Not usually a hangout spot for the youth, but worth a few tries for the exotic cuisine.
Aryme: A cafe in the edge of the city. An undiscovered gem, it doesn't have many customers, but that only lends to its peaceful aesthetic, complemented by the entrancing aroma constantly sifting from the kitchen. A good choice for coffee for the person with more patience than tolerance for crowds.
Recreational Centers
Oak Hills Country Club: For the more financially well-off citizens of Enoch, Oak Hills has its own club house and golf course for them to socialize and talk business in. Naturally, they charge annually for a membership. Despite Enoch's weakened economy, the Country Club is still as vibrant as ever.
Madison Rec Center: The rec center is complete with its own gym, swimming pool, and hockey rink. Admission's free and anybody with the right credentials can hold their own classes or activities here. Less people are visiting the rec center compared to all the years before, however.
Casinos
Pearly Gates Casino: Right next door to the Four Saints' Resorts, the Pearly Gates Casino is the biggest gambling establishment in Enoch. This is the place most vacationers tend to visit and it even includes its own bar just inside. You don't have to have too much money to gamble and they even have nickel slots.
Second Chance: The Second Chance Casino is located further downtown. It's a seedy joint and at the surface, aside from its more modest aesthetics, is similar enough to the Pearly Gates Casino. However, the Second Chance Casino has a member's only section where bets are made with triple the average increments. The pay off's more greater, but be careful: the police has been watching the place closely for a while.
Palazzo Apartments: While not quite as lofty accommodations as the name would imply, Palazzo apartments provides a clean environment to new arrivals to Enoch. However, Seleção are suggested to eventually find new living quarters, that they may not be easy targets to hostile participants.
Stella County Courthouse: Enoch's courthouse where most criminal cases are examined and the proper sentences are handed out. Paralleling the police corruption, it seems a few of the judges here are under suspicion of taking kickbacks. But rest assured, that doesn't happen often. Most people that come here don't even have enough money to affect court rulings.
