Woodstone College

Woodstone College is located on the outskirts of the town, and nearly all up and coming college students will attend this college. The college specializes in the sciences, but also offers studies in business and arts.

The professors of the college are all the head of research in their field of study, and have ongoing research so that they can publish their work.

The college has a secondary secret location right in the heart of the town. It is hidden in plain sight within the store fronts. There are walls between the shops that are actually 6 feet wide that lead underground to an entire research facility. There are few people privy to this site, and even fewer who really know what experiments are done. Many of the scientists doing work in the hidden site don't know the true purpose.

Barter Bob's Import Grocer

At Barter Bob’s, the initial idea was to bring in ingredients and food items that the area was unfamiliar with prior to this store. There was a purpose behind the items chosen to help keep any genetic anomalies from occurring to the residents of the town (i.e. diabetic or being overweight).

The food that is sold in the store is sometimes not what it would appear to the normal customers. There is a group of scientists behind what is actually being grown and created as ingredients. Depending on where the food items are imported from there are a few other towns that also have included modified foods (but kept it a secret).

When specific foods from Barter Bob’s and certain foods from other manipulated areas are mixed (eaten together or as a part of someone’s regular diet) some adverse side effects or unanticipated changes occurred.

Bob, the owner of the store is rarely seen and has a very mysterious life that most people don’t know anything about.

Byline Surprise Bookstore

This bookstore is a mix of newer, but mostly older literary works. If you are looking for any top-­seller books, you probably will not find it in this store. Sort of like a Half-Priced books store, but for the more obscure and lesser known authors of the world. The books here are party experimental writing, and college student published works of art through independent/self publishing.



This leaves a window open for a collection of books written by either (1) the same person evolving any number of plot lines or (2) multiple authors writing about a barely talked about similar idea that could be a significant discovery.



The bookstore has a fair number of customers, but most of them do not find anything or appreciate the type of books that are here and leave without purchases. A local community college or some other type of school in essence subsidizes and funds the entire shop. Perhaps this bookstore could get their main income by selling textbooks and all the other non-school texts are what we really want to concentrate on.
