Vernon Square

 is a section of Washington, DC. Reilly's Rangers (quest) are trapped here, and the Vault-Tec Headquarters are located here as well.


 * If you get close to the Statesman Hotel (even from other regions), you will pick up the Ranger Emergency Frequency on your Pip-Boy radio as long as you haven't rescued them yet.

Points of Interest

 * Our Lady of Hope Hospital
 * Statesman Hotel
 * Vault-Tec Headquarters
 * A small radioactive (2 rad/sec peak) sewer used as a base by the Super Mutants.
 * Outside of the sewer entrance is a radioactive crater with a wrecked Delta IX rocket in the center. The rocket is the probable source of the radiation, as the rads peak at 43 rad/sec near the rocket's severed nose cone.
 * To ease in entering the sewers, there is a Pulowski Preservation Shelter next to the subway entrance with a radiation suit inside.
 * An old pre-war cinema still stands around the radioactive crash site. The cinema depicts, among others, an advertisement for the movie "P.S. I Hate You".

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.
 * Dean's Electronics in the Sewer Entrance, northwest of the radioactive Sewer. This can be tough to find. It's in an alleyway with a Nuka-Cola machine (the alleyway is a potential Talon Company / Regulators spawnpoint), at the very end behind a car (and appears only to be part of the rubble from alley entrance). It's in the Average locked door about halfway in, on a table next to some glue and a conductor. There's also a good supply of radiation chems in here.
 * Aforementioned Radiation Suit can be located in the Pulowski Preservation Shelter in the southwest.

Bugs

 * A possible bug is that followers will not enter the sewer (Confirmed with Fawkes Xbox 360).
 * When exiting the sewer located at the bottom of the rocket crater, Fawkes may get stuck in the area right at the very bottom of the stairs next to the sewer entrance and will run in place or back into the sewer. This can be fixed if the player manunally pushes him up the stairs out of the crater. Be warned though if you don't have a radiation suit or many Rad-X or Radaways you may succumb quickly to radiation poisoning. (Confirmed on PS3)
