The neighborhood along the water, Francesca is the closest Lafayette gets to commercial. The riverside is lined with a boardwalk of mom and pop shops with a few scattered chain stores. The restaurants serve rich southern comfort food, and the bars serve local beers. On weekends, it's almost busy, but the truth is that most people don't have the money to spend.

Reverie is the last vestige of Lafayette's wealth, a still active thoroughfare along the Mississippi for cargo boats. While Lafeyette is passed over for most river cruises, it's a popular rest stop for sailors to anchor for a day to rest and recover. Port Reverie is a bit upstream of Lafayette proper, but cheap ferries and an electric tram take people to the city proper.

Technically a different city altogether, Sugarford is across the river, located in the state of Mississippi. Overall, it's practically the same as the rest of Lafayette with the same fading culture, but historically, Sugarford was a village of free men, and even now it has a more liberal bent than its neighbors.

Essentially a suburb, but Montblanc is sprawling plantation after sprawling plantation, large enough to be its own county. It reeks of old money, and the locals consider Lafayette a cesspool that they'd rather ignore. Hidden behind acres of landscaped lawns, the rich and wealthy enjoy their prosperity with the rest of the world out of sight and out of mind.

While the wealthy fled to Montblanc as Lafayette declined, the normal people moved to Danbury. It's suburbia at its finest: identical little cottages with white picket fences surrounding a yard large enough for dogs to play, for blocks and blocks and blocks. It's cute. It's quaint. It's... kind of creepy. Everything looks the same.
