Central City Station

Central City Station is a train station in Republic City and formerly an important commercial hub. With the increasing popularity of automobiles, the area has lost some of its importance, and the plaza out front serves simply as an area for people to lounge or exchange goods. A monument of Fire Lord Zuko is located in the center of the plaza.

The station is frequented by orphans such as Skoochy, an earthbending boy who can often be found in the area exchanging information for a price or looking for tourists to pickpocket. Gangs like the Triple Threat Triad often scout Central City Station for potential recruits.

History
Bolin and Pabu set up a street act in front of Zuko's memorial statue in Central City Station in order to earn yuans that the Fire Ferrets needed to compete in the pro-bending championship. The young earthbender was approached by Shady Shin not long after, who told him that Lightning Bolt Zolt was looking for new recruits for his operation. Bolin was reluctant to do so, but eventually, he accepted and left the station with the gang member.

After Bolin went missing, Mako and Korra went to Central City Station in order to look for him, as Mako knew that it was one of his brother's usual hangouts. The two approached a group of young orphans and asked them if they knew of Bolin's whereabouts, to which Skoochy responded that his memory "may be a little foggy". After Mako paid the boy, he informed the two that Bolin left after Shady Shin showed up and offered him monetary incentive. He warned the two that all the triads were preparing for something big.
