A hangout for metahumans in the [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]] series, '''Old Stanley's''' is a hotel located in New Orleans, Louisiana. Built in 1720 by a temporary coalition of ‘special people’ from diverse backgrounds, all of whom possessed power, Old Stanley's was built for the purpose of creating a neutral area where anyone of their ilk could go for rest, entertainment, to work out business, or for sanctuary. A series of extraordinarily potent (and direct) defensive measures are in place, which are time-tested as to their effectiveness against any ultra-powered metahuman who wants to take the establishment, and its secrets and power, for their own purposes.
Old Stanley's serves the same purposes for metahumans as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagon_Alley#The_Leaky_Cauldron Leaky Cauldron] does for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizarding_world Wizarding World]. There are several elevators in the lobby, but only metahumans can access the thirteenth floor, which opens onto what appears to be a vast mall-like area, complete with a large wooded area complete with a small lake, and access to 'gateways' that can transport them to anywhere on Earth.
When [[Kyle Armalin]] went to New Orleans in 2005 to aid in the relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina, he and other metahumans used Old Stanley's as a covert base of operations. When [[Black Majesty]] came to [[Legion Tower]] in search of a [[Soul Crystal]], Armalin wondered if he was known to the staff at Old Stanley's, indicating that there is a fairly comprehensive listing of metahumans available at the establishment.
