Andale

Andale is a town in the south of the Capital Wasteland, between Washington, DC to the east and Tenpenny Tower to the west and Fairfax Ruins to the north. It has 7 human inhabitants.

Background
Andale is touted by its residents as the greatest town in Virginia. However, the town holds a dark secret. Four families survived the nuclear war and remained in Andale, but eventually took to cannibalism after their food supplies ran out. Since then, the murder and consumption of outsiders, along with inbreeding between the Andale families, have become a tradition passed down from generation to generation. Bill says that the Home Owners Association does not let random people move into the town.

Layout
Andale is located directly south of Fairfax Ruins and west of the Nuka-Cola Plant. The town is comprised of two two-story pre-war houses, one ranch style home, and a shack. They are all located on a street amidst the ruins of other homes, and a Red Rocket gas stop.

 * Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor - in the Concrete Treehouse down the road out of Andale that passes the Red Rocket Gas Station.
 * Dean's Electronics - in the back of a truck down the road (east of Andale) towards the Nuka-Cola Plant. Note: There is a chance that this book may not spawn in the truck. (Reported in the Xbox and PC versions)
 * U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes - on a table behind the counter in a raider defended Dot's Diner, located on the outskirts of DC, before the Nuka-Cola Plant on the road leading east out of Andale.
 * Strange meat - 80 total; 10 in each fridge. (Specific fridge locations: 3 in Smith Basement, 3 in Garden Shed, 1 in the Smith House kitchen, and 1 in the Wilson House kitchen.) This one location holds more of the item than every other static location in the game put together.
