the center

The center of town is known to most as simply 'The Center'. There's a gazebo and a large and still functional water fountain surrounded by old cobblestone, grass, dirt and concrete. Back some time in the 1800's people used to tie their horses to the stone posts set up all around the center and since Shorebridge has a large farming community, they still serve their original purposes. A few shops and bars line the street and there's a couple trees here and there. The area surrounding The Center is usually quite busy during the day and even most of the night. You can more than often spot intoxicated humans leaned up against the posts smoking and various animals drinking from the fountain and lazing in the shade the trees and gazebo provide.

The most harm that ever really comes to anyone here is the occasional boot or can that may hit you in the noggin, but that's all you usually need to watch out for. Just as any other place there's always possibilities, however. This is life on Earth in a slow-paced Southern town, not in Heaven.
