One of Malton’s lower-middle, working-class neighborhoods, Vinetown had fallen on hard times in the mid-1980s, when layoffs and shutdowns at several key factories and warehouses pushed it spiraling into an era of extreme poverty.  
One of Malton’s lower-middle, working-class neighborhoods, Vinetown had fallen on hard times in the mid-1980s, when layoffs and shutdowns at local factories pushed it into an era of extreme poverty; with crime, joblessness and poverty hitting all-time highs. A slow turnaround had begun by the early ‘90s and, prior to the outbreak, Vinetown was undergoing a massive period of urban renewal.


With crime, joblessness and poverty hitting all-time highs in the late ‘80s, a slow turnaround had begun in the early ‘90s and, prior to the outbreak, Vinetown was undergoing a massive period of urban renewal. Many buildings predominantly public housing in the northeast and southern parts of the suburb – were deemed unsafe for occupation in early January of 2005, sparking public protests and isolated political unrest before the council ordered a massive campaign of demolition and planned reconstruction. However, construction had just begun in the south- and not at all in the northeast- by July. And by then, it was too late.
Vinetown was named for a small but highly-regarded winemaking operation that flourished in the region in the early 20th Century, established under the auspices of a group called the Priory of St. Armand based at [[St. John's Cathedral]]. ''Colwill Grove Select'' was prized by wine experts and a solid money-maker for the church’s charitable efforts before production was abandoned during World War II. St. John’s was one of two buildings that dominated the landscape of Vinetown in the days before the outbreak.


While a handful of theories exist on the origins of the suburb’s name, it almost certainly stems from a small but highly-regarded winemaking operation that flourished in the region in the early 20th Century. Established under the auspices of a group called the Priory of St. Armand – based at [[St. John's Cathedral]] a series of small vineyards were planted in greenspaces throughout the area in the 1920s and ‘30s. The product – Colwill Grove Select was prized by wine experts and a solid money-maker for the church’s charitable efforts before production was abandoned during World War II.
To the south, [[Mitchem Mall]], built in the late ‘70s, adapted quickly to the region’s economic downturn – filling its vacated storefronts with space for local vendors. Catering to local artisans (alongside cheap rents) helped create a thriving arts and music community despite the area’s impoverished status. (It’s rumored that singer-songwriter Tom Waits wrote much of the material for his 1980 album “Heart Attack and Vine” while staying at the The [[Pilyer Hotel]], located on Malton’s Vine Street, during a run of shows at [[Club Izzard]] and [[Club Quarman]] which then catered to live music audiences.)


St. John’s was one of two buildings that dominated the landscape of Vinetown in the days before the outbreak. The church took an active role in charity and civic work, with multiple relief organizations focused as much – some hardliners argued more – on charity work than religious outreach.
The southwestern corner of Vinetown is practically an island, cut off from the rest of an otherwise busy suburb. In consequence, this area is often used as a hideout by PKers or zombie squatters, both of whom find [[Hartland Bank|dark banks]] and [[Caunt Street Police Department|police]] [[Hartleys Boulevard Police Department|departments]] to be congenial surroundings.

Ravaged, like all of Malton, by the outbreak, a growing band of survivors now is making a go of re-populating Vinetown – using these traditional institutions, and other spots, as staging grounds for the resistance.

*'''Haggle your heart out''' at [[Mitchem Mall]], with its eclectic mix of drugstores, gun shops and Radio Shack. If [[TSI]] is in town, the '''Comfy Chairs 'R' Us''' showroom may also be open. '''Fat Sam's Big Fat One-Stop Fuel Shop''' is closed until further notice.
*Gaze in awe at [[St John's Cathedral]]'s '''bloodstained-glass windows''' and '''ornate reliquaries''', full of holy bones (some of them dating as far back as 2005).
*Just had your umpteenth headshot? A perfect excuse to get that '''nose-job''' you've always wanted - at [[Gelasius General Hospital]]!
*At a dead end? Given up breathing? '''Perk up''' at [[Bhore Monument]] or [[the Dinovan Monument]]. For prompt service, put in a [http://ud-malton.info/revive.php?State=Add+Request Revive Request].
*Give yourself a '''brain-food break'''! Visit [[The Godfry Museum]], [[The Daniels Museum]] and [[the Salisbury Museum]] and learn about European sculpture, skeletons and umbrellas, or settle down for a quiet read at the [[Chatwin Library]].
*Laugh the night away at [[Club Izzard]] and choose between '''cake or death'''!
*The suburb's picture house, [[Shyar Cinema]], is maintained and run by the local thuggery [[Murder Death Kill|MDK]].  A great night out, as long as you like horror films and put up crooked fingers to the smoking ban.

{{Vinetown Barricade Plan}}
===September 2008===
 
====September 24<sup>th</sup>====
Vinetown continues to look largely free and clear from big zed hits. Fighting over in Crowbank has centered around the Mydleham NT/Burt Square Police Department area. Vinetown and Four Corners-based groups including M.E.R.C.Y., M.D.K and the 41st reported active in a back-and-forth fight for the area.--[[User:Damon Delacroix|Damon Delacroix]] 16:17, 24 September 2008 (BST)
 
====September 14<sup>th</sup>====
Little to no organized undead activity.  RP's clear.  Resource buildings all under survivor control, with power restored to a good portion of the suburb. Some intermittent undead activity still noted in [[The Four Corners]] area, just over the border in [[Crowbank]] and [[Edgecombe]] around [[Peter General Hospital]] and [[the Maver Building]](though even this seems to be diminishing).--[[User:Sister Rita|Sister Rita]] 17:22, 14 September 2008 (BST)
 
====September 07<sup>th</sup>====
Light zed activity, but zed scouts regularly sitting on Mitchem Mall for the past few days. --[[User:TeknoMerk|TeknoMerk]] 03:23, 8 September 2008 (BST)
 
====September 3<sup>rd</sup>====
25.96 MHz: "... minimal activity in Vinetown ... lights are on across the suburb ... infrastructure looks intact too ... Mitchem Mall has lights on ..." --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 20:55, 4 September 2008 (BST)
 
===August 2008===
 
====August 31<sup>th</sup>====
Small groups of zombies around Mitchem Mall area and SE Vinetown.  About 20 zeds. --[[User:TeknoMerk|TeknoMerk]] 02:15, 1 September 2008 (BST)
 
====August 27<sup>th</sup>====
Survivors are killing zombies waiting for a revive at the Bhore Monument.  This is a well-known Revive Point that has become dangerous lately. --[[User:TeknoMerk|TeknoMerk]] 18:17, 28 August 2008 (BST)
 
====August 26<sup>th</sup>====
25.96 MHz: "... can see maybe a dozen on the streets of Vinetown ... mostly just small groups ... a lot of lights on, looks the area's been reclaimed ... infrastructure looks intact too ... Mitchem Mall has lights on.--{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 01:48, 27 August 2008 (BST)
 
====August 16<sup>th</sup>====
The area around [[St. John's Cathedral]] including [[Gelasius Hospital]] and [[Goodford Road Police Department]] are back under survivor control.  A small to moderate-sized mob of zombies is present in the extreme NW of the burb in the vicinity of [[Shyar Cinema]].  [[Mitchem Mall]] is under survivor control and is powered, with much of the surrounding area also secure.  Revive lines have diminished significantly - at this writing, the RP at [[Bhore Monument]] is clear. --[[User:Sister Rita|Sister Rita]] 19:32, 16 August 2008 (BST)
 
====August 9<sup>th</sup>====
While Mitchem is apparently safe, the North of the suburb is a dangerous game of cat and mouse (OK, zombie and survivor) With TRP's Changing Hands Daily. Revive lines are still long. Neither side seems able to gain the upper hand without reinforcements. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 10:43, 9 August 2008 (BST)
 
====August 6<sup>th</sup>====
External Military: "... can see about eighty on the streets of Vinetown ... a few big groups, but they're spread out ... lights are on across the suburb ... some minor structural damage though ... Mitchem Mall has power ..." [[User:Laitaine|Laitaine]] 04:21, 7 August 2008 (BST)
 
===July 2008===
 
====July 28<sup>th</sup>====
Vinetown is doing well, but there is a large lineup at the revive point. Extra hands are required if the survivors are expected to get on top of it. <u><big>[[User:DanceDanceRevolution|<span style="color:red;font-weight:bold">D</span>]]</big><nowiki>ance</nowiki><big>[[User Talk:DanceDanceRevolution|<span style="color:lime;font-weight:bold">D</span>]]</big><nowiki>ance</nowiki><big>[[User:DanceDanceRevolution/media|<span style="color:Aqua;font-weight:bold">R</span>]]</big>evolution</u> 01:46, 28 July 2008 (BST)
 
====July 20<sup>th</sup>====
External Military: "... can see twenty or so on the streets of Vinetown ... mostly just small groups ... a lot of lights on, looks the area's been reclaimed ... infrastructure looks intact too ... Mitchem Mall has power ..." [[User:Laitaine|Laitaine]] 00:32, 21 July 2008 (BST)

External Military: "... minimal activity in Vinetown ... lights are on across the suburb ... infrastructure looks intact too ... Mitchem Mall has power ..." [[User:Laitaine|Laitaine]] 20:19, 10 July 2008 (BST)
 
====July 3<sup>rd</sup>====
Gelasius General Hospital under seige, with several surrounding support buildings either ruined or with small but hostile mobs active. --[[User:Damon Delacroix|Damon Delacroix]] 00:57, 4 July 2008 (BST)

mast image Short-wave Radio Info
The Vinetown suburb has the following active radio stations.

Freq: 26.05: South-East Malton
Freq: 26.34: Mitchem Mall


One of Malton’s lower-middle, working-class neighborhoods, Vinetown had fallen on hard times in the mid-1980s, when layoffs and shutdowns at local factories pushed it into an era of extreme poverty; with crime, joblessness and poverty hitting all-time highs. A slow turnaround had begun by the early ‘90s and, prior to the outbreak, Vinetown was undergoing a massive period of urban renewal.

Vinetown was named for a small but highly-regarded winemaking operation that flourished in the region in the early 20th Century, established under the auspices of a group called the Priory of St. Armand – based at St. John's Cathedral. Colwill Grove Select was prized by wine experts and a solid money-maker for the church’s charitable efforts before production was abandoned during World War II. St. John’s was one of two buildings that dominated the landscape of Vinetown in the days before the outbreak.

To the south, Mitchem Mall, built in the late ‘70s, adapted quickly to the region’s economic downturn – filling its vacated storefronts with space for local vendors. Catering to local artisans (alongside cheap rents) helped create a thriving arts and music community despite the area’s impoverished status. (It’s rumored that singer-songwriter Tom Waits wrote much of the material for his 1980 album “Heart Attack and Vine” while staying at the The Pilyer Hotel, located on Malton’s Vine Street, during a run of shows at Club Izzard and Club Quarman – which then catered to live music audiences.)

The southwestern corner of Vinetown is practically an island, cut off from the rest of an otherwise busy suburb. In consequence, this area is often used as a hideout by PKers or zombie squatters, both of whom find dark banks and police departments to be congenial surroundings.

Things to do in Vinetown

  • Haggle your heart out at Mitchem Mall, with its eclectic mix of drugstores, gun shops and Radio Shack. If TSI is in town, the Comfy Chairs 'R' Us showroom may also be open. Fat Sam's Big Fat One-Stop Fuel Shop is closed until further notice.
  • Gaze in awe at St John's Cathedral's bloodstained-glass windows and ornate reliquaries, full of holy bones (some of them dating as far back as 2005).
  • Just had your umpteenth headshot? A perfect excuse to get that nose-job you've always wanted - at Gelasius General Hospital!
  • At a dead end? Given up breathing? Perk up at Bhore Monument or the Dinovan Monument. For prompt service, put in a Revive Request.
  • Give yourself a brain-food break! Visit The Godfry Museum, The Daniels Museum and the Salisbury Museum and learn about European sculpture, skeletons and umbrellas, or settle down for a quiet read at the Chatwin Library.
  • Laugh the night away at Club Izzard and choose between cake or death!
  • The suburb's picture house, Shyar Cinema, is maintained and run by the local thuggery MDK. A great night out, as long as you like horror films and put up crooked fingers to the smoking ban.
