Directly north of the student dorms is a long, well-maintained street stretching off a few miles into the distance and lined with a number of buildings of different size, shape, and style. Students, citizens, and even teachers alike can be seen walking along the sidewalks, driving strange vehicles, or taking the bus between these and other places in the city. Here are some of the more prominent places along Mahou City's Main Street:
Mahou City Rescue Station: A large and squarish white building with blue and red trim, with a large arched doorway with a stairway lead-up and flanked by a pair of noir-styled streetlamps, this is the place where first responders hang out and await deployment. Though people can't die in the city, there are numerous dangers that most would prefer to avoid, and when something's too perilous for even a student at MSF High to deal with, the Rescue Station will send out someone with the appropriate skill set to deal with the dangers. The station has behind it a fenced parking lot which serves both as an impound for usually-wrecked vehicles that litter the streets and block traffic as well as their own specialized mad science vehicles including a firetruck with a hoselike elemental cannon, a saucer-shaped hover-vehicle with a crane arm, and a multi-terrain submersible tracked vehicle. Directly inside the station's main entrance is a desk where the phone operator, a telepath/clairvoyant named Celine, makes calls to areas where an accident is about to occur or has just occurred to obtain details on the accident and send out officers to respond. Directly to the right of that large and well-maintained desk is a much more frantically-organized bulletin board, where students can both post bounties on out-of-control creatures that have gone missing or look for jobs they feel they can handle. The other side of the desk leads to a doorway to the first responders' hangout, a large room with a big-screen TV, various game systems, a large and well-stocked bookshelf, a small kitchen wall, and a number of couches and other seats where the officers can enjoy themselves while waiting on emergencies to crop up. Beyond that is a file room which keeps records on potential threats and problematic students and citizens, a supply cabinet stocked with various armor and weaponry, generally of the subdual variety, and a stairway leading up to the second floor. The top floor of the station consists of a large gym, which can be reconfigured into Mondo's various training exercize locations and Captain Mondo's personal office.
Lady Kougetsu's Art and History Museum: A squarish and simple building made of five different levels of floor size and created of light reddish brick on the outside is a misleading facade to the primary art gallery in Mahou City. Without windows to see inside, it's rather difficult to tell what exactly is within and the only indication of its function being a simple sign mounted on the door reading "Art Gallery, Free Admission" doesn't help matters much. However, inside is a diferent story. Beautifully decorated walls along the outer ring of the interior are dotted with the most impressive paintings, while inward from there are a series of corridors that maze around, leading someone to become lost in appreciation of various styles of art from the students here and their differing home cultures. As you go deeper into the museum, the ceiling grows higher and the works of art become more large and impressive, giving way in some spots to historical artifacts and the occasional fossil. The center of the museum, with its towering ceiling, is home to a tremendous dragon's skeleton, posed terrifyingly, though seemingly in a different stance each week. In one corner of the building is Lady Kougetsu's private office, where she takes in personal items and determines the values of others' work before putting it on display. Each piece in the museum is for sale, with the dragon skeleton in the middle priced at a staggering 10 million dollars. Along the northern wall of the outer ring of the building is a counter where the curator's hired student assistants work, selling items from a small gift shop out of the glasstop counter that consists of poster reproductions and art supplies.
Mahou City Transportation Center: Surprisingly, even in a city where residents can fly, run at mach speeds, or even teleport, there's still the occasional need to hitch a ride somewhere. Thankfully, any student or citizen can get wherever they need to go by use of the Mahou City Transportation Center on Main Street. It is directly north of the student dorms, on the western side of Main Street, is within easy walking, crawling, or limping distance, and is the primary stop of any of the buses that roam the city's streets, serving as a bus transfer station. It is a tall but otherwise not terribly large building, with a wide row of glass windows on the eastern side to make the vehicles that arrive much easier to notice, rows of bucket seats that aren't terribly comfortable yet not so uncomfortable that you don't catch an occasional Neko napping there, a row of vending machines for snacks, sandwiches, and drinks both hot and cold, and a pair of monitors along the ceiling that show bus routes and their estimated position along the city streets. A number of backup buses are parked along the west side of the depot, and it's not uncommon for them to have positions that need filling not only driving the buses, but also repairing them. The depot prefers to have student scientist-types working as their mechanics, as the problems the buses sometimes have to deal with are more often than not arcane in nature. A bus at Mahou City can go through an uncommon amount of wear-and-tear, with the usual driving being interrupted on an at-least-daily if not hourly basis by giant monster attacks, magical earthquakes, strange weather, or some other catastrophe. Drivers must be equally prepared for weirdness along their routes, and some become jaded to the various high-powered shenanigans that tear the city apart. One fixture at the bus depot is Ol' Carl, a zombie tow truck driver that waits for one of the buses to get invariably disabled then brings it back to the depot for fixing. The buses aren't the only way to get around town if you're lacking in automotive power, however. Enterprising students and citizens alike will often park their cars, vans, monster trucks, giant mecha, flying saucers, or other vehicles out along the front of the station, hoping to score some fare in exchange for faster, personalized service. The transportation center claims absolutely no liability for damages to yourself or your possessions incurred through use of these unauthorized taxis.
