Valley Galleria

Valley Galleria is a location in the Mire region of Appalachia in 2102.

Background
Valley Galleria is a pre-War shopping center, along Interstate 65 in Appalachia, Valley Galleria served the neighboring communities of Harpers Ferry, Berkeley Springs, and to an extent, Watoga. The mall was anchored with Valley's Boutique, Big Steve's Sporting Goods, and DeMarco-Boyle Housewares. Additional stores and dining were included, such as the Little Italy pizza and pasta restaurant, the Grey & Gould Jewelry Designs and Repair store, as well as a toy store, books and stationary store, an electronics store, and even a small dive bar. On the day of the Great War, a piano recital was scheduled, in addition to a showing of the Chryslus Cherry Bomb. Outside, the parking lot is cornered by a Red Rocket fueling station and auto garage and a diner at the end of the mall.

After the war, it became a haven for ghouls in Appalachia, or "the Changed," as they were referred to by survivors, led by Lucy Harwick. Ghouls were welcome to travel there and be accepted with "open arms, and more importantly, open hearts." Some time after this, the shopping mall was abandoned by the ghouls, leaving only ferals behind, a prison and grave for Jacob Lerner, who was on a mission to find some particular flowers for Free States doctor Ella Ames.

Layout
The galleria is L-shaped, and has two floors, accessible from different stairs across the building. The ground floor is a big space with shops, tables, little stages, a piano, trees and a fountain. The second floor is smaller, but is where most of the shops are accessible.

Points of interest
The mall has some sporadic loot both notable and junk, a few locked safes and a parking lot full of volatile nuclear vehicles. Inside the Red Rocket fueling station, there is a weapons workbench and a my stash box.

The interior is large and shaped roughly like an L, with plenty of open spaces in the main throughways and cramped spaces in the accessible stores. The stores contain minor loot, with the major attraction being the steamer trunk in the northwestern end, upstairs, in the Valley's Boutique.
