Touristville on the maps (New Seattle p. 60) is just NW of the junction of Hwy 908 (Redmond Way) and Hwy 202 (Woodinville-Redmond Road outside of town, but 164th Avenue in town). Yahoo Map (zoom to setting 2 or 1 on the map). This is the oldest part of downtown Redmond today. The Seattle Sourcebook (map p. 169) placed it a little farther north, centered on where the WizKids retail store is located today. Photo of store. Touristville is that part of Redmond where tour buses take tourists to see what the tour guides call "The Barrens". It is a civilized place (at least compared to the barrens), located on the edge of the Redmond Barrens. Touristville tours "to the Barrens" operate much like Big Rhino Restaurant is the launching point for tours into "the Ork Underground". It shows the tourists just enough to make them think they've been there and know what its like. What they are really seeing are the slummers from Bellevue who have come to the "Barrens" to experience the thrill and hang out at sleazy clubs. Lonestar does patrol Touristville, but if you go there you should pack your own heat. A scene in Missing Blood (part of Universal Brotherhood) on page 16 describes touristville as follows:

Honestly, including something like that, you're really just asking for it...

Cops will actually show there. Just well armed. And you still need protection, either yourself or a bodygaurd.

I suggest reading these snippets of information about the Seattle Barrens. It's great flavour material and mentions Redmond as well as Touristville.
Wishful thinking. |

Well, since there are no D20 rules for Shadowrun at large, I'd assume there's none for Touristville. Why don't you give it a try w/ the system thats in place? |

Actually, there are at least a couple of sets of rules for D20 Shadowrun 'at large'. That none of them are considered official has absolutely no bearing on the fact that such things are available. |
