Described as "the Diamond in the Spoilheap" by poet Waren Peele, Lambert Arcade is a stark contrast from the streets around it. Below Wind Tunnel's industrial district, on city level B104, the single-level arcade is surrounded by refuse disposal caves on all sides. It is accessed by a dedicated elevator, and the arcade is decorated in ornate brass inlaid with mother of pearl - the street has false windows overhead, plasma screens displaying starscapes from a variety of worlds. Each of the 28 shops - mostly service businesses, fixers and people who live by their contacts - has a generously appointed 6-bedroom house behind it. These homes are rented from the Arcade Council for nearly 200kT/month. They have views over the arcade itself, or the 3rd floor windows can be reprogrammed to show an image similar to the starscapes or sunsets on the other side.
