Townindale is the main setting of Wikihood, and the location where the majority of the antics take place. Townindale is a small city (or a large town, depending on how you see it) that serves as the capital of Republic Island. Founded in 1789 by a group of settlers after the American War of Independence, the town grew throughout the ages, eventually becoming a reasonably-sized humble metropolis. Notable areas of Townindale include the Downtown Shopping District, Town Hall, and The Hills, along with other districts.
Contents
HappyMart
HappyMart is a supermarket chain that is vastly expanding throughout Republic Island. The Townindale branch is located in Downtown Townindale and is managed by Felicia. Promising good service with a smile, HappyMart prides itself on its customer service and dedication to spreading good will and happiness through low prices.
HappyMart is also an incredibly unpleasant place to work, with low wages, strict company discipline, and an enforced policy of employee "happiness." Chaos worked at HappyMart for a single day in Episode 7, and eventually quit and simultaneously got fired after he cracked under the pressures of awful customers and strict management. The company is currently sponsoring Xavier D'Arque's bid for Senate.
Katyusha's
Katyusha's is an Eastern-European restaurant located in the "Little Moscow" district of Townindale, which is an area with a high Eastern-European population. The restaurant is owned and managed by Konstantin Volkov, an ex-Soviet citizen who named the restaurant after his mother. While it serves a variety of Eastern-European delicacies, the restaurant is most famous for its pierogis, which are said to be the very best in the state.
Above the restaurant is a block of apartments which are also managed by Volkov. One of the apartments is currently occupied by the main gang of Chaos, Lex, and Garfield.
The Mattress Warehouse
The Mattress Warehouse is a large retail store located in the outskirts of Townindale which is dedicated to selling mattresses. One notable feature of the store is the fact that it hardly gets any customers yet still somehow makes a profit. It is also Lex's place of employment, where he happily works due to the relaxed work schedule and the ability to listen to music and sleep on the job.
The Rosenberg Association
The Rosenberg Association is a multi-million dollar conglomerate with its main headquarters located in Downtown Townindale. The company is run by Frank and Jacqueline Rosenberg, two Co-CEOs who inherited the company from their deceased uncle, James Rosenberg. The corporation deals in several sectors, such as financial, industrial, and commercial ventures, owning and operating smaller companies, one of them including HappyMart.
The Rosenberg Association is also Leigh More's place of employment, where he works alongside his friend, Gordon, as a telemarketer.
Surreal Cereals
Surreal Cereals is a cereal cafe located in Downtown Townindale. It is owned by Tracy, who is one of Garfield's close friends. Although the cafe is new in town, it has attracted controversy from some people who believe that the idea of a cereal cafe is a terrible idea. Other criticisms of the cafe include the allegation that it is a symbol of gentrification. One such criticism comes from Lex, who was appalled by the cafe's presence while showing Chaos around the city.
Surreal Cereals is often frequented by a group of hipster regulars, who enjoy wearing streetwear and listening to indie music.
Townindale Hall
The Town Hall is located in the Administrative District of Townindale in the area which was once "Olde Townindale." Chaos has a notable dislike towards Townindale due to his hatred of bureaucracy, and the fact that he was embarrassed after being mistaken for a bank robber while trying to pay utility bills for his apartment. Chaos' dislike of Town Hall is unrequited, presumably because a building can't get mad at him. He may just vent his frustrations by talking all talk. Unsurprisingly, nobody else among the Wikihood Manor's inhabitants seem to share his antagonism with Town Hall.
Notable figures of Town Hall include Mayor Meier, the senile and inept leader of Townindale; and Noelle Andromeda, the receptionist that Chaos has a crush on.
The Gauzy Girl Theater
The Gauzy Girl Theatre has a long and powerful history as one of the oldest buildings in Townindale which has since degraded. It was established shortly after Townindale's founding by Donovan D'Arque, one of the town's founders and the original of the D'Arque bloodline. Xavier D'Arque, descendant of Donovan, seems to have an avid interest in having the building restored to a hospitable state, though his exact reasons behind it are unknown.
Spook Cliff
Part of Townindale's outskirts, named by Garfield for reasons that involve the Bluehaven's Finest incident. Inside this area is a glowing green tree, known as "Tauradonna," and several tombstones. Garfield has implied that the people buried underneath the graveyard are all people from his past.
The Underground Market
Townindale has an underground area, which has become a Black Market of sorts. There are some high-end restaurants here, as well. At least one part of the Underground Market is also a LARP Center.
