Vernon Square

Vernon Square is a section of Washington, D.C. in the Capital Wasteland.

Background
The square serves as an entryway to its namesake metro station. There are four streets that make up the perimeter, including Mount Vernon Place, Abernathy Street, Salem Street and Basso Boulevard to the north, east, south and west, respectively.

The citizens of Underworld attempt to explore the area, but Barrow shares that patrols traveling near there return with injuries, if they return at all. Butcher and Reilly report to the Lone Wanderer that there is a high concentration of super mutants in the area, second only to the number found in the Mall.

Layout
The location is surrounded by piles of rubble and contains super mutants throughout. As part of Vernon Square, several additional locations can be found, including four metro exits. Vault-Tec headquarters, Takoma Park, and Vernon Square East are situated to the east.

In the middle of Vernon Square, a Delta IX rocket is found in an irradiated crater, near a sewer entrance. The entrance into the Takoma Park/Vernon Square Metro is near the crater by a blue car. Nearby, a toppled radio mast links the second floor of Our Lady of Hope Hospital to the Statesman Hotel. To the left and up the stairs from these conjoined buildings are another metro tunnel and Freedom Street station.

Notable loot

 * D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine on the shelves in the radioactive sewer.
 * A Stealth Boy as well as a scoped .44 Magnum on the other shelves, in the sewer.
 * A copy of Dean's Electronics on a table near the sewer entrance.
