Vinetown is a suburb of Malton, located in the southeast of the city.

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.)

February 2009

February 2nd

The vanguard of the RRF's Gore Corps, including Lord Moloch, briefly broke into the Mitchem Mall's SE corner but was ejected after flagrant contravention of the Mall's House Rules against brain consumption in public places. Bloodstains are still in evidence and power is down in this section, but the rest of the Mall is open for business as usual. Shoppers are asked to be alert in case Gore Corps members attempt to vandalise the Mall or damage generators while in a revived state. Zombies are welcome to window-shop but are politely requested to refrain from killing and eating other patrons.--Mallrat 15:16, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

January 27th

Casual shoppers visiting Mitchem Mall from other suburbs should be aware that there has been a marked increase in violent crimes committed by survivors against other survivors. Keep your handbag or rucksack secure, hold on tight to your shotgun, and note that strict anti-flatulence Mall by-laws are being enforced by the Clean Air Reclamators.--Mallrat 14:46, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Everything is under control except the barricading, had to leave the suburb to find an access point as all the proposed ones were VHB or EHB. --Eggonabull 01:28, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Updating danger level to "Dangerous." It's still no cake walk out there, but many of Vinetown's residents have returned and multiple resource buildings and safehouses are being taken, repaired and barricaded. Only the last remnants of the MOB remain. --Damon Delacroix 13:11, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
