Notable Locations within Portage:

By the Sea Art Gallery: Located in the Harbour area, nestled amid shops and tourist attractions, it is a modern art gallery with private showing rooms along with the second floor of art work being exposed to the general public. The main floor contains a stage for live music, acting, shows dependent on what the curators have brought in of local talent along with an exclusive bar and coffee shop. Private showings occur both in the main area and side rooms of the second floor, and once a month or so there is a gala when an artist is revealing their new collection. The third floor is open and spacious, the hall in which the gala is held, and outside of Kindred needs, hosts weddings, meetings and other events happening within the city. A wrap-around balcony from the second floor juts out over the boardwalk beneath and adds to the modern, delicate allure of the building.

The Seahorse: The Seahorse is a lovely little tavern with a blend of the Celtic, Irish and North American influence. The inside is rough hewn wood walls, stone in other places and mostly benches and tables for people to sit, a few booths on the far wall and a stage for regular live music, most of which being the Irish, Celt styles with rock thrown in.

Jack's: A dive bar in the Northern Suburbs, it is frequented by bikers and other thugs, as well as being a known domain of The Crew, resulting in it being a welcome place to Brujah and Gangrel alike. It is the sort of place where stereotypes are embraced from the grizzled, haggard biker behind the bar to the scent of old beer soaked into floorboards. In the most basic of descriptions, it is the kind of bar where breaking a table, chair or a face is merely a side-affect of being at the bar and draws little to no attention.

Mysts: Recognized domain of the Toreador, it is a quiet music venue to which local artists are often invited, but only those within the circles of classical training. Elegant, intimate and exclusive, it is everything that Jack's is not.

Saint Matthais University: Specializing in undergrad as well as doctorate degrees in sciences, nursing, MD, PHDs engineering, astro physics and more, this historically Catholic school is set on stunning ground with stone architecture, pillars and chapel all available to the students. Once an elite university, it now is open to the general public who can afford the tuition here, and provides dorms for those who need them in the manner of two large towers linked by a three story, half a block long smaller residence. Located on the outskirts of Oakdale, the Prince's domain.

Stellenrod University: Once the only public university, it focuses mainly on the studies of the arts, music, teaching, psychology, biology, seminary and business. Well known internationally for its MBA program as well as gaining in renown for its Practical Psychology, it is also one of the few universities where one can obtain their Doctorate in Astronomy, with the highest quality of equipment found in this area of the country. More modern buildings, as many have had to undergo repair through the years, it sits along a river, though the dorms are carefully built on the other side of the campus, keeping the main campus between any drunken students and the quickly flowing river.

Oakdale: At the furthest point of the 'Portage Arm' is Oakdale. Wealth, fame and fashion call this end of the city home. Closer to the head of the harbour, there are stunning vistas overlooking the ocean and unpolluted harbour edge, as well as winding lanes, sprawling properties and an architects dream come true in the variety of designs applied to the manors here. Most streets are gated, though some still remain open to the general public to drive through, and all save one are accessible by foot, but even that is being fought by the local homeowners group who are moving to make this place truly elite.It also happens to be the Prince's private domain and as thus, permission to feed within the boundary is mandatory on threat of death.

Brightwolf Casino:The major casino in the city. The building is as most casinos, gaudy and glory, flashing lights and extreme opulence, which does dance along that line of ridiculousness to the uninitiated of the gambling world. Men and women of all types move in and out the desperate with that look of wildness in their eyes, come to play their chance, the players who thrive on the rush and those who come perhaps to play with the people more then anything else. Inside, the music is soft, somewhere there is always live music, the rattle of dice, the clang of machines on the far room, windowless and so well lit that one might always think it was day there, dealers in their short skirts and low cut tops, greeters in elegant dresses and oozing sensuality, this is a place to play with delights, whatever they might be.
