The Glades (Earth-2: Pre-Crisis)

"Every time I close my eyes, I see her body lying there, cold, on a dirty floor. So I swore that I would get vengeance on the Glades for what it did to Thea, and I am not going to let her down. Not again! That's not gonna make you feel better, Tommy. I don't care about feeling better. I just want the Glades to suffer."

- Tommy Merlyn and Oliver Queen

The Glades was a crime-ridden neighbourhood in Starling City.

The Undertaking
On April 18, 2012, Thea Queen overdosed on Vertigo in The Glades whilst celebrating her eighteenth birthday. In 2019, the Dark Archer attempted to destroy The Glades via an earthquake as revenge for Thea's death, though he was convinced not to by Oliver Queen. However, these attempts proved to be in vain, as Earth-2 was destroyed by antimatter just hours later.
