the locales

the corner of eighth and main is an irish pub established by the webber family. it's the main hangout for the irish gang and has mainly been supported by the organization along with a handful of other city drunks. there's a room in the back that people can slip back to if a "conversation" needs to take place. members of the webber family run the bar. the two daughters bar tend while the father owns and manages the place. it's nothing fancy and it never will be such. it's just the place you can slink off to if all you want is to drown your sorrows in the cheapest beer.

there's no specific location because it moves around all the time to avoid the police, but the irish run and underground fighting rings where dirty deeds and backdoor deals happen amongst the gamblers. it mostly takes place in an abandoned warehouse where they have illegal fighting matches for money. their matches usually bring in big crowds and it can get really rowdy at times. it's the irish's big money maker.

located just outside of valkyrie on the highway leading to los angeles lies an abandoned motel that the selwyns took over as their headquarters. secret meetings, living accommodations, and no one around for miles, it's an ideal place for the irish to take over. with nothing around for miles, it is quite easy to see if anyone is approaching.
