The name Garcia is a tribute to [[wp:Grateful Dead|Grateful Dead]] frontman [[wp:Jerry Garcia|Jerry Garcia]], who lived for a time at 710 Ashbury, located in the heart of the [[wp:Haight-Ashbury|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). | The name Garcia is a tribute to [[:wp:Grateful Dead|Grateful Dead]] frontman [[:wp:Jerry Garcia|Jerry Garcia]], who lived for a time at 710 Ashbury, located in the heart of the [[:wp:Haight-Ashbury|Haight-Ashbury]] district of San Francisco.

The district itself is meant to emulate San Francisco's [[wp:Mission District, San Francisco|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. | The district itself is meant to emulate San Francisco's [[:wp:Mission District, San Francisco|Mission District]], which is home to a predominantly Latino population, and a vital source of the city's arts and culture.

Upon his arrival in [[San Fierro]], the distraught [[Carl Johnson]] has some hard work ahead of him: he must renovate the derelict [[Doherty Garage]] and turn it into a successful business, or else wallow in his own self-pity for having been suckered by [[Claude]] and [[Catalina]], from whom he won the garage as a prize in a street race. With the urging of his sister [[Kendl Johnson|Kendl]] and his ally from [[Los Santos]], [[Cesar Vialpando]], Carl sets off to find mechanics he can trust to work in the garage. His new friend [[The Truth]] tells him of some guys that would fit the bill, so the men head off to [[Wear Flowers in Your Hair|recruit them]]. After picking up [[Jethro]] in the [[Xoomer]] gas station in [[Easter Basin]] and [[Jethro]] in the tram terminal at [[King's]] and monitoring the movements of a couple of mysterious vans at the behest of The Truth, the men set off to pick up [[Zero]], who is sitting on a bench outside his [[Zero RC|RC shop]] in Garcia, toying with an [[RC Goblin]]. After the usual niceties, the men head back to the garage in Doherty to get to work. | Upon his arrival in [[San Fierro]], the distraught [[Carl Johnson]] has some hard work ahead of him: he must renovate the derelict [[Doherty Garage]] and turn it into a successful business, or else wallow in his own self-pity for having been suckered by [[Claude]] and [[Catalina]], from whom he won the garage as a prize in a street race.

Only a few days later, Zero calls Carl to inform him that his landlord is evicting him, and that he has nowhere else to go. This prompts Carl, who has been expanding his business interests in San Fierro, to buy Zero's shop in Garcia. When Carl arrives at the shop, he discovers that Zero is in a childishly inane conflict with his jealous rival, [[Berkley]], who is threatening Zero's business with his own successful delivery service and fleet of [[RC Baron]]s, intent on revenge for losing the science fair to Zero years ago. Carl, eager to eliminate any competition, first helps Zero out by using a roof-mounted [[Minigun|minigun]] to [[Air Raid|thwart an extensive bombing]] run on Zero's radio antennas by Berkley's RC Baron squadron. Next, Carl [[Supply Lines...|eliminates Berkley's fleet of delivery vans]] by flying an RC Baron equipped with a machine cannon throughout San Fierro, making sure to leave neither van nor driver intact. Finally, in a less deadly battle on a much smaller scale, Carl [[New Model Army|assists]] Zero in maneuvering an [[RC Bandit]] across a model battlefield, while Berkley's [[RC Goblin]] attempts to block its path. Furthermore, Carl must use his own Goblin to prevent Berkley's [[RC Tiger]]s from destroying Zero's Bandit, all while creating river crossings for the Bandit using metal planks carried by his Goblin's magnet. | Only a few days later, Zero calls Carl to inform him that his landlord is evicting him, and that he has nowhere else to go.
