X-Men:DoFP, NYC
Jun. 7th, 2014 02:43 pmLast week I watched "X-Men: Days of Future Past" with friends. They had to persuade me because I'm not the biggest X-Men fan, but I didn't regret going.( Spoilers )
I'm stalled on my YA story because it's taking place in New York City. I've never been there, and I can't visualize where my characters are. If you're an alien race and you're fighting against New-York-based heroes, you'd probably destroy Manhattan first, right? Which parts of New York would likely be targets and who lives there and what does it look like? Which parts of the city, if destroyed, are likely to be renovated/cleared of debris first/last, and which would be abandoned? Where is a secret underground resistance movement likely to operate?
I thought I could just talk about "the city" and "the destroyed parts of the city" in very general terms, but my brain refuses to cooperate. If anyone familiar with NYC is willing to help that'd be great.
