places

Shear Hill — The Ames's neighborhood. Low-to-middle income, primarily populated with manual laborers: quarry workers, stone masons, brick makers, sand miners, etc. The Ames's street is at the base of the hill. During the war, the neighborhood was home to a high percentage of rebels and rebel sympathizers, but bordered areas that were predominantly Captiol loyalist. It was the target of routine street skirmishes and extensive aerial firebombing during the war.
