The people started taking up parts of Halloween tradition as part of the town's culture, these included the carving of Jack O' Lanterns, costume making, and mask making. As a result of the taking up of these traditions the people of Halloween are expert tailors and have coming of age rituals based around the art of mask making. Whispers and rumors say the town hides a dark secret, however none have ever investigated the claims.

New Asgard: The home of the Norse, it consists of the pre war town Norseland and the nearby scout camp of the same name.

However about 15 years ago a group of tech savy settlers tried to set up a settlement by the dam, however by turning the dam on, they attracted some of the wildlife. The settlement was overrun and is now home to a family of Yao Guai, however the dam is still turned on and running.

Southdale center: One of the oldest shopping malls in the U.S, it is located in Edina. It has been largely picked clean, but the depths may hide more supplies.

The park was well known for the numerous pieces of art and sculptures within it, as well as it's lake. The conservatory is taken care of by a small group that have appointed themselves as caretakers of the gardens within the conservatory. The zoo is one of the more interesting areas, pre war it's collection was a mixture of native and exotic animals.

However the zoo hasn't been fully explored as it is zealously guarded by robotic keepers.
