He's just the chauffeur! You pat him on the back and tell him that you'll put his name as an attribution when this story hits the big news. He just scoffs and mutters that you probably won't even remember it.
You head back to your seat and pull out the pocket map. You've got about an hour and a half to study it, get familiar with the layout of Lafayette Town and such. It's a commercial shopping 'experience' themed to look like various different parts of Europe, with a mixture of entertainment and commerce facilities. It looks like it is situated beside the small town of Glenhouse, with a population of roughly 5000. It reminds you, in part, of the Al Fresca Plaza, a row of stores in the Willamette Parkview Mall. That place was always packed to the brim with zombies every time you passed through...
Looking over the map, you notice there are 8 distinct 'zones' to it, each containing a multitude of stores and attractions. The main entrances are on either side of the constructed town facade, leading into the area designated as Main Park. Looking over it, you see:
-Gastronomy District (fast food, restaurants, cafes)
-Main Park (events, large park, circus)
-Historic Zone (museum, LARP, re-enactments, galleries & souvenirs)
-Chic Street (fashion, jewellery, travel agency, vineyard)
-Hotel Albergo (large hotel, restaurant, spa and gym)
-Cathedral of Commerce (under construction)
-Boutique Lane (miscellaneous stores, groceries, household goods)
-Backstage (security room, storerooms, offices, zombie shelter)
It looks like the hotel is the tallest at three stories while some of the larger areas like Boutique Lane and the Gastronomy District are two stories. It makes sense to drop you on the backstage area's second-story roof, since that's where the security room and even zombie shelter will be, a common staple of large population centres since previous outbreaks.
