This was the site of one of the Regulators' first major victories in their War on Drugs. Led by the Back Alley Brawler, the Regulators surprised a group of thugs who were dealing in heavy narcotics.

Inscription

On this site, the Regulators and the Dawn Patrol first came together, joining forces to bring the Back Alley Brawler's War on Drugs to a conclusion. Unable to make a dent in crime by arresting petty thugs, they resolved to go after the drug problem at its root: the drug farms that produced the evil substances.

Location

This plaque is in Skyway City. It is facing south, on a wall along a road that is going down hill to the west. It is approximately 250 yards west of the Land of the Lost neighborhood marker.

Inscription

This plaque commemorates the death of Mina Horne, known to her comrades as the Illustrated Woman. She was killed when the Frost drug cartel, otherwise known as the Family, ambushed the Regulators as revenge for the brief imprisonment of Harry Frost.
