Garcia: Difference between revisions

'''Garcia''' is a neighborhood of [[San Fierro]], [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]].  It is located at the south end of the city, sandwiched between [[Hashbury]] to the west and [[Doherty]] to the east.  To the south are [[Avispa Country Club]] and [[Missionary Hill]]; to the north are [[Queens]] and [[King's]].

Garcia is a mixed neighborhood of residential and commercial zones, and like its close neighbor, Hashbury, exudes a relaxed vibe, albeit slightly more seedy and run-down, as it also borders the industrial neighborhood of [[Doherty]].  The name Garcia is a tribute to Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia, who lived for a time at 710 Ashbury, located in the heart of the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco. Incidentally, the Haight-Ashbury district has been re-created in the game as the district of [[Hashbury]], which supports a ''joint festival'' with neighboring Garcia (one of the many double entendres in the game).

Garcia is meant to emulate San Francisco's Mission District, which is home to a predominantly Latino population, and a vital source of the city's arts and culture. Like Garcia, the Mission District is a residential/commercial neighborhood situated in the southern portion of the city, adjacent to an industrial area.  Garcia is also the location of [[Zero]]'s [[Zero RC|RC shop]], whose windows overlook cable car tracks and an unused baseball diamond.
