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.
