Babbitt Plaza lies in the heart of the business district in downtown, a wide, paved pedestrian area dotted with small gardens and fountains, surrounded by restaurants that make most of their money off the corporate lunch-meeting crowd.
Its most distinctive feature are Babbitt Towers, often called "the City's own Twin Towers" until the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, after which the comparison became decidedly less popular. The towers each contain top-class business suites on the lower 20 floors and luxury apartments on the upper 20. The base of the building contains a mall with over 200 high-end stores selling clothes, jewelry, electronics, leather goods, antiques, and more. Although most of the businesses tend to cater to extremely wealthy clientele, the mall is a pleasant place to while away a lunch hour, and people from all income brackets can be found there anytime during business hours.
Babbitt Plaza recently became ground zero for a large-scale intrusion from the underworld, in which a ghostly tower of black iron embedded itself through both physical towers. Although the ghost tower is undetectable by living beings, the shock of its appearance caused significant structural damage. The towers and shopping mall are now closed to the public while emergency response teams and anti-terrorism investigation crews search (fruitlessly) for the damage's source.
