Beacon Hill in Underground 2

What the district pages name

Fandom describes extremely curvy roads and switchbacks and ties the look to Beverly Hills. Landmarks named there include Bayview City Hall with a pink sculpture, the east mall, west-side clubs, an LV gas station modeled on a Beverly Hills 76 station, the Imperial Hotel, and Pigeon Park.

Pigeon Park is a memorial to Brad Lawless, a young Need for Speed player. The plaque line in the source is In Memory of Our Friend. I repeat that because it is a specific place, not a generic park. The Body Shop and Graphics Shop are documented in Beacon Hill East. The Car Specialties Shop is documented in Beacon Hill West. No performance shop photo or address showed up in the gallery I used.

The citywide hidden-shop total is 14 and it is already assigned to City Core, Jackson Heights and both sides of Coal Harbor. Subtracting those from 14 to invent a Beacon Hill number would be a guess. The cell stays empty.

Finding the useful services before counting secrets

Beacon Hill’s east and west labels are useful for locating services even though this guide does not assign street coordinates. The published body and graphics entries are on the east side; the specialties entry is on the west side. Those service types answer different upgrade needs, so a player looking for engine parts should not mistake the body shop for a performance shop. The district also differs from City Core: the published garage and car-lot entries belong to the downtown area. I keep Beacon Hill’s missing hidden-shop count blank instead of subtracting the other districts from a supposed total. On the schematic, the district box is only a navigation aid. It is not a road trace and its position cannot be used to infer an exact shop location.
