Basin City Sin City walk down the right
back alley in Sin City and you can find
anything more commonly known as Sin City
Basin City is a crime-ridden City found
in the western United States like many
towns it’s broken down into several
different neighborhoods the poor and
desolate stick to their side and the
wealthy and prosperous state of theirs I
don’t have nearly enough cash on me to
bribe this cop but the most interesting
neighborhood has to be Old Town a place
where prostitution is rampant and cops
are not allowed the merchandise is on
display by the time I make my way to Old
Town gritty chaotic and anything but
black and white Sin City is a spot for
the debauched and self-indulgent to
spend their time everyone would live for
me everyone who counts otherwise all
their own lives everything that runs Sin
City it all comes tumbling down like a
pack of cards number 9 hogs Meade the
Harry Potter franchise found just off
the grounds of Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry is this
quintessential quaint British town and
the soul village in Britain occupied
only by magical creatures there’s ways
you never told me about any more orders
man
and keep it he’s going to turn it over
to Professor McGonagall the town is home
to memorable locales like the Three
Broomsticks where you can grab a
butterbeer or the slightly sketchier pub
the hogshead which hosts a less savory
clientele oh three broomsticks and I go
way back further than I care to admit
there’s also zanko’s joke shop and
honeydukes where you can grab a sweet
treat just steer clear of the shrieking
Shack the most haunted house in Britain
now remember these visits to Hogsmeade
village are a privilege should your
behavior ethnic poorly on the school in
any way that privilege shall not be
extended again number eight Halloween
town The Nightmare Before Christmas
Halloween town is by far the most
exciting of the seven holiday worlds
or are we and by exciting we mean
terrifying
[Music]
it’s full of exactly the same stuff
nightmares are made of werewolves
witches vampires ghosts and monsters of
all shapes and sizes
the town’s residents are an eclectic
bunch but the most well-known of them is
Jack Skellington the pumpkin king if the
town isn’t weird enough for you just
venture to its outskirts to find a
haunted graveyard or the iconic spiral
hill all right you go boy number seven
the Capitol The Hunger Games franchise
volunteers tribute as the center of
wealth in an impoverished society the
capital represents everything that is
corrupt and imbalanced in this war-torn
society wall Taub it’s a beautiful place
of grey sky scrapers and glass buildings
but its beauty
only hides the brutality of the
government behind it I mean if we just
wanted to intimidate the district’s why
not round up 24 of them at random and
execute them all at once a lot faster
the only region of Panem that doesn’t
send tributes to The Hunger Games the
Capitol is home to the country’s
wealthiest most of whom spend excessive
amounts on high-end bizarre fashions
speak in a strange dialect and gamble on
The Hunger Games
terrible war widows orphans a motherless
child

land

come alive the only things that aren’t
cartoons are foreign objects that find a
way there or the humans that come and
visit laws of physics are basically
non-existent but non toons still need to

pattycake on him
number 5 Rivendell the Lord of the Rings
franchise welcome to Rivendell Frodo
beckons
j.r.r tolkien created his share of
exceptional fictional towns including
the likes of Hobbiton and ministereth
but it’s the elven realm of Rivendell
that stands out we set out from
Rivendell with seven companions home to
the elves of middle-earth the name

a breeding ground for suffering and
injustice it is beyond saving and must
be allowed to die the town is a
perpetual NYC at night below 14th Street

foes for Batman but despite its numerous
problems there’s something captivating
about the city that makes you want to
root for it number 2 Cloud City Star
