The northeastern part of Watoga is taken up by a large shopping plaza, featuring all the latest wares and the latest in automated purchases! That is, of course, until the bombs dropped: Now the place has mostly been picked clean, though the Responders did set up a trading post here.
Super-Duper Mart
With a “spooky sale” going on right now, this Responder Trading Post is also a great place to barter with the Vendor Bot, one of the few automatons that isn’t trying to kill you. Although “everything must go!” it seems most of it has; come here for the junk scraps.
Watoga Real Estate and Cranberry Heights
The real estate offices and the Cranberry Heights apartments across the street (to the south) are linked via a bridge (above) and elevators (inside each office). Take either elevator bank to the roof to explore: There’s a (revolting and toxic) pool, walkways, and staircases down to a balcony area and an elevator down to either office.
Fresh Soil Restaurant
Across the road (south) of the Watoga Real Estate office is an organic restaurant. This is fully boarded up and inaccessible.
Hubris Comics ‘n’ Toys
Unfortunately, all the cool comics have been left smoldering, leaving little for you to hunt for, aside from a Bobblehead and holotape inside this store.
Stuart’s Department Store
Next door to Hubris Comics is a clothing store that’s been picked clean a while ago; there’s little more than clothes hangers here.
Slocum’s Joe
There’s no coffee on the boil anymore, but there’s some reasonable tinned food to scavenge, as well as a possible Magazine in the rack.
Miller’s Appliances
This store is full of useless washing machines, TVs, and fridges. You have better scavenging potential outside, grabbing the bottles on the cafe tables by the small jetty.
Bandstand
On the grassy area just north of the shopping plaza is a small bandstand with enough musical instruments for four.
Drumlin Diner
Need some bottles, condiments, and glasses to complete your junk collection? Come here, but also check outside on the sidewalk corner to the east for a possible suit of Power Armor.
