Esplanade

Esplanade is a district of Boston $$ It is located between the Fens and Beacon Hill, and is across the Charles River from Cambridge.

Background
Previously one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Boston, the Charles River Esplanade contains the remains of a park frequented by Bostonians before the Great War.

Commonwealth Avenue is the main east-west thoroughfare along the southern edge of the neighborhood, parallel to the riverfront Storrow Drive. It runs from the Holy Mission Congregation church in the west to Boston Common in the east. The thoroughfare is divided by a wide median planted with trees, and is flanked by pre-War mansions.

After the bombs fell, HalluciGen, Inc., a pre-War biochemical research facility, experienced a chemical leak. The Gunners who raided the building were driven insane. Meanwhile, the Pillars of the Community cult took up residence nearby at the Charles View Amphitheater, along the banks of the Charles River. They began recruiting members from all over the Commonwealth, drawing even more wastelanders to the district.

Appearances
Esplanade appears only in Fallout 4.
