The Secrets of GTA:
Liberty City Stories

The following is a list of Easter Eggs, References, Secrets, Fun Finds or just basically anything interesting about GTA:Liberty City Stories that people might miss.
I have not credited individuals with any of these finds as usually multiple people find these things at the same time and it only causes arguments if one is given credit for something over another. However, I will be making a "Thank you" list which will include the names of those that I credit with making me aware of some of this page's content.
I search for these myself as well as checking web forums to see if anyone else has found something interesting. I often visit GTAForums - LCS Secrets & Easter Eggs which actually started long before the game was even released.
I had planned on featuring a spoiler warning system, where each entry would have a Spoiler Level indicating how much it would spoil the storyline for you if you haven't yet completed it. So far I haven't included this so just take note of the following:
BEWARE: The Following Includes Spoilers

List of Easter Eggs, Secrets & Finds in LCS
"Hello again!" sign. - Category: Easter Egg

This is in exactly the same place as the "You werent supposed to get here you know" sign from GTA3. It's a nice little hello from the game makers to those that go looking for the old sign.
To find it go to the parking area behind the Liberty Tree offices. Follow the wall on the right around until you reach the place where it is shortest. You will need a high vehicle (e.g. Trashmaster) to jump from to get over the wall (you will probably need to jump on something first just to get you on top of the Trashmaster too) and you will find the new sign in the corner.




Grave Yard - Category: In-Game development

To the west side of the Staunton Island Cathedral is a small grave yard that isn't there in GTA3. Throughout the game new graves are added to feature characters that Toni kills. Not all characters appear, but the following graves are seen:
Giovanni Casa - "GONE"
Dan Sucho - "Dead an' what not"
Cedric "Wayne" Futheringay
Joseph Daniel O'Toole - "Sleeping with angels" (vibrator left by headstone).
Vincenzo Cilli - "Not so lucky after all"
Roger C. Hole - "Running For Office In Heaven"
Paulie Sindacco - "Viva Las Venturas Baby"

Phil Cassidy - Category: GTA Reference

Phil has previously appeared in GTA3 and Vice City. He owns the "Fully Cocked" store in Staunton Island which stocks more powerful weapons than those found in Ammu-Nation.
Phil can be seen only once in person during the game. It's when he picks up a collection of weapons from Toni at the Ferry port. He comments that so many arms come through these docks that he might be better off moving there - which of course he does because that's where his base is in GTA3.




Avery Carrington - Category: GTA Reference

Avery has previously appeared in Vice City and his image appeared as a neon sign on a casino in San Andreas. He very briefly appears in Donald Love's Shoreside Vale missions. He's fairly prominent, but I guess it's possible people could miss the conection to past games.

You can find this tag opposite Maria's apartment and in the Alley where Toni first meets Wayne and his gang in China Town.

Hand Held - Category: Rockstar Reference

You can find this movie poster all around the Red Light District.

"Lionel" - Category: Film/TV Reference

When Toni visits Salvatore in jail he goes in the guise of a fictional laywer. The Don refers to him as "Lionel". This could just be coincidence or it could be a reference to Lionel Hutz, the lawyer who occasionally appears in The Simpsons.
