Boston Mayoral Shelter

The Boston mayoral shelter is a pre-War location created to shelter the former mayor of Boston, and his family, his wife and young child.

Layout
The building itself consists of multiple layers, including but not limited to, a gym, sleeping quarters, and a maintenance room with a crafting bench and armor crafting station.

While in the bunker, several holodisks can be found documenting the stay in the bunker itself. From the moment they entered the bunker, the mayor and his wife address their concerns about the food stock and if they're able to survive the initial eighty days after the bombs dropped. As the Sole Survivor wanders deeper into the bunker the remains of the wife and child can be found in the maintenance room, indicating their unfortunate demise.

It is made apparent to the player the mayor is extremely corrupt as the player goes further down into the shelter. There are holotapes confirming the mayor had constructed a luxurious nuclear shelter at the tax payers' expense, answering to his wife's every needs, such as a minibar, fireplace, home theater, and even a full sized gym, while many people were simply left for dead outside. A mob of angry citizens later stormed the shelter, killed all the guards, and finally slaughtered the mayor's wife and child.

There is a button upstairs in the gym that unlocks a shortcut back to the entrance. Alternatively, the player can take a right turn when exiting the elevator and use a pipe to traverse to the lower level.

Notable loot

 * Fat Man, found in the cave branching off from the gym. Approaching the Fat Man will trigger the spawning of a deathclaw and it is recommended that the player character be ready to deal with it in close quarters. The deathclaw does not appear to be leveled.
 * Astoundingly Awesome Tales, found in the room just past the bathroom containing the Mayor's skeleton at the end of the hallway. It is in the same room as a safe, on a small table next to the bed.
 * Fusion core, in the electrical room in the same area as a weapon bench and the skeleton of the Mayor's wife.
 * Mini nuke, on a wall-mounted cabinet opposite the fusion core.
 * Stealth Boy, in the tunnel leading to the entrance of the shelter. Look to the right for a skeleton of a soldier inside a small dead end corner.
 * Overdue book, in the kids' room just east of the Mayor's bedroom.
 * Mr. Gutsy model kit, in the same room as the overdue book.

Quests

 * Learning Curve - This is one the locations where you need to escort a scribe of the Brotherhood.

Behind the scenes
The Massachusetts State Emergency Operations Center is located in the same approximate location (next to Natick) as the Mayoral shelter. It is a Cold War era bunker designed to withstand the blast from a potential nearby nuclear detonation. It's still in use as the headquarters of the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency.
