fandomhigh | The Living City: Change and the Urban Environment, Friday, Period 3

There was an e-mail sent out to meet at the Causeway today for field trip purposes. And as you might expect, Bruce led his class through the portal strictly on time as the class started.

"Welcom to Gotham City in the year 2015," Bruce announced. A few ground rules," Bruce declared. "Stay in pairs at all times. Crime is less frequent during the day, but it still happens. Keep your eyes and ears open, either for your own protection or, if you're a crimefighter of some sort, so you can do some good. Keep in mind that Gotham is huge. If you stay with me for a few minutes, I'll take you to the roof of the Wayne Enterprises Building so you can get a feel for exactly how big it is. And the way I have our portal set up, we'll have a few hours here, but will be back in Fandom right at the end of class. So if you want a lunch you don't have to pay for, meet back here in a couple hours."

"And if you need ANY help while you're on your own, call me immediately. I have resources, even in the past," Bruce noted.

"Aside from that, explore, unless you'd rather stay with me for a slow moving guided tour."

"Welcome back," Bruce said to anyone who had split off earlier. "Lunch is on me. This restaurant and nightclub (http://dcanimated.wikia.com/wiki/Iceberg_Lounge) usually isn't open in the afternoon and, frankly, this is a major inconvenience to the proprietor. He's doing it only because it pays for him to look charitable right now when the authorities are looking closely at his income. His name is Oswald Cobblepot, better known as The Penguin. Hence the theme. While this business is legitimate - frustratingly so for him - it helps him cover up his illegal dealings. But he'll be arrested in two days with his assets frozen, so I don't mind giving a little money his way right now."

Once inside, it was clear that "The Penguin" and "The Iceberg Lounge" were both part of a very strong theme. Everything was in shades of ice blue and white, the wait staff were dressed, basically, like sexy penguins, the stage had an ice theme, and everything on the menu was a bad antarctic pun. But the quality was all top notch, exactly as you might expect from a flashy mob boss who wanted to make it very clear that NO REALLY, he was putting all his efforts into legitimate business.
