jmsepe    LOL

Hester    Hehe

NMUSpidey    Like Miss America, if the winner can't fulfill their duties, the runner up takes over!

Lyhoko Leaci As long as there is not double posting, we are all good! That's democracy at work!

tonyr    LOL! Woo hoo!

bakercity    Done and done!

NMUSpidey     Thanks! And we are. But not too much exciting stuff from there... kind of trench warfare in the mountains...

Mymyjp    Kittens are too much fun... and they get into everything!

Hester    Me too!

89James89    Thanks! We are looking forward to it!

Lyhoko Leaci    We have pushed the front lines back to the eastern side of the mountains but things have been a bit stalemated again since then. The East Devonshire district is being trashed mightily.

Tonraq    You know it!

NMUSpidey    Me-wow!

89James89    LOL! We are NOT cannibals!

Lyhoko Leaci    It completely fills the oven.

Hester    Done and done.

Fox    You bet! Ed is always looking to expand his pizza empire!

NMUSpidey    I am not sure either. It only happens on LBT lots...

Hester    The yeller feller!

bakercity    You may be right!

Lyhoko Leaci    You may be right!

89James89    That's why magic wands come with instructions!

Hester    Me-wow!

Huston    Thanks! Onward to 900k here!

Mymyjp    Thanks!

bakercity    They warm your heart and your home!

Lyhoko Leaci    They are a-meow-zing! And more is coming!

NMUSpidey    Felines definitely have different scent preferences... (cough, cough... tuna... sardines...)

takemethere    Thanks!

Gurning_Chimp    Those are actually Xannepan's Parisian buildings. They are on the STEX and LEX... the market is Debussyman's Place des Vosges. And, welcome to Schulmania!

NMUSpidey    10,452.7?

Titanicbuff    You bet!

Lyhoko Leaci    I think it's the annual conference of the National Sardine Appreciation Society...

VMIUJcadet09    Thanks! Glad you like it!

Aldivia: Southern Exposure

The Aldivia District is in the far south of Wirdleonia. Our southernmost city up to this point was Ava City. but, now, with the settlement of Aldivia, a new southernmost city has developed: Jaqfulneel. Unusual name? Yep. How did it originate? The Supreme Wirdle was visiting the City Planning Office to review the city's plans. And, while doing so, she walked across the Project Manager's keyboard (she, like most cats, likes walking across keyboards). And, what she typed became the name of the city. The city was built at the intersection of two major roads: the Trans Schulmania Highway and Catway 32. The Trans Schulmania Highway now spans the nation from southern Aldivia all the way to Mookimian Verá. Catway 32 originates at Jaqfulneel and runs east and south to the coast and new developments underway in the southeast. Let's see what this new town has to offer.

First, some wider views of the town:
 

 

 


Now, in for a closer look...
 

The Trans Schulmania Highway is marked with arches to demarcate the town boundaries. Here is Arco Batán.
 

This is Arco Hijito on the other end of town
 

The Aldivia District Government House has a distinctive green facade and plenty of sunlight in its central courtyard. If you were wondering why the government functionaries don't get things done, it is because they are sunning themselves in the courtyard.
 

Anderson Theater features all sorts of special events. A popular show is a laser pointer shone on the stage for the audience to chase.
 

Cafe Schulmanito is the most popular eatery in town. Chef Tuk-tuk makes some great dishes with locally caught fresh game.
 

Calle Pelota is a charming brick-paved alley leading from Catway 32 (known in town as East Drive, since it heads east) to the heart of town
 

The town founders spent a little extra to build the Campanile. Why? Because they could. And, it's cool.
 

Casa Blu Marrone is a premier commercial location for shops and offices. Dr. Oyster has an office here. He's a dentist-- takes care of your pearly whites!
 

Chiesa di Calcio is one of the local churches. Tuesdays nights, a Ceiling Cat choir comes to perform.
 

Neiman Meowcus is the most upscale store in town. Shop till you drop!
 

Plaza Aldivia is a lovely pedestrian area in the heart of town
 

Septimo Mercado is the central market. You can buy just about anything here!

Run, don't walk, to visit Jaqfulneel. It's the funnest new town in the Southlands!
 

[Mymyjp 1,052]

I love that mediterrean feel of that journal...I miss SC4...lol

Excellet job schlumy!

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Those Cobb buildings are really great, aren't they?

 

Anyways, I heard it was four thousand holes, from Blackburn, Lancashire specifically, to fill the Albert Hall.

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Nice and fancy, can't wait for more!

 

They have lasers?

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Welcome to Noewhere!

 

 

 

 

Come and stay a while! Things are about to get interesting!

[Hester 699]

Yes they are!!  

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Noewhere?

 

Could be interesting...

[TakemeThere 5,833]

Aldivia is quite the picturesque district and well done on the uniformity, not a single building looks out of place.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Noewhere?  Who lives there?  Noebody?  It looks like a really nice place for Noebody to live.

[Benedict 3,119]

Your CJ might be Noewhere, but it's number one on BTT this week.

East Tenne: Hall Of Justice

Government offices are located throughout the capital. Many of the most significant ones are located in the Royal Quarter and the Feline Quarter. But, all of those government offices and institutions which don’t require the Supreme Wirdle’s daily oversight need somewhere to be as well. Many of them are concentrated in the fourth and fifth arrondissements. District IV is known as The Citadel, as it contains a large building which sits upon a hill just like a citadel in the times of yore. A large cluster of government facilities centers around Clark Square. This cluster is devoted to education and culture. There are other clusters scattered through the Government Districts. Executive and legislative offices are in the Royal Quarter, proximate to Wirtyplace.

The aforementioned large building is destined to be the new highest court in the land. With the advent of complex business deals and general annoyances in everyday life comes a surge of litigation. Most feline justice is handled with summary dispensation of justice by members of the Protective Forces -- hissing, chasing, treeing, scratching -- but sometimes more is needed. Until recently, citizens had direct access to the highest levels of government to settle grievances. But, there's only so much justice the royal family can mete out and still have time to get stuff done. Therefore, the Supreme Wirdle has ordered a new court building to be constructed. This will be where cases not resolved by local magistrates will be referred. The highest court of the land hears cases in the Hall of Justice. We will check out this area of District IV today.

The Citadel, sitting in the heart of the fourth arrondissement, is capped by the Hall of Justice
 

Hoppyian Boulevard bisects the area
 

On the other side of The Citadel is the Lionel Hutz School of Law
 

The Office of Inspector General is just down the street from the law school
 

Sylvester Place is a shopping mall on the east side of The Citadel
 

Near the Golden Cat Bridge is the Feline Technical Institute. Researchers here have invented the laser pointer light, perfect for hours of chasing fun.
 

East Court is a noteworthy stop on Hoppyian Boulevard. Many lawyer cats have offices here, including famed attorney Purry Mason.


 

The City College of Oak Ridge is one of the many institutions of higher learning in the capital. Energy research is a focus of the science department. Here's their plans for unlimited clean energy:


 

The road leading to the Hall of Justice begins at the intersection with Hoppyian Boulevard and is flanked by the Lawyers' Guild (left) and Protective Forces (PROFORCE) Headquarters (right). After a short climb we encounter the Bureau of Feline Affairs High Court (left) and the Court of Arbitration and Mediation (right).

And now, behold: the Hall of Justice!
 

 



 

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

The Hall of Justic is so full of... of... of JUSTICE!  I feel more justified just looking at it!  What are the judges called?  Super Friends?  Because  +1,000,000 for you if they're called Super Friends.

[Mymyjp 1,052]

Dammit Schlumy, where do you find those wonderful parks!

This is by far my favorite entry from you. That city, the layout, everything amazing!!!! Awesome building style.

[bakercity 270]

Holy smokes Catman, The Hall of Justice is huge and the city looks neato. Maybe we should call our friend Purry Mason, the cat lawyer and maybe have some catnip for lunch.     JKB

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

What happenes when the cat licks the butter off of the bread?

 

Looks good, can't wait for more!

[Benedict 3,119]

Nice work, you're number one on BTT this week.

[TakemeThere 5,833]

The hall of Justice is sure one massive complex, definitely very grand.

And who knew the solution to infinite energy was so simple! Just what will they think of next?

[Schulmanator 5,787]

East Tenne: Bishop's Square

Located near the Shrine of the Savory Salmon, Bishop's Square is a green oasis in the heart of the capital's third arrondissement. The East Tenne Bishopric Office sits in the square and is surrounded by pleasant grounds.  Bishop Neilson presides over the most populous see in the nation and has his offices right in the heart of the largest concentration of religious edifices in the nation. We will see the bishop make his rounds about the Holy Quarter today.
 

Bishop's Square meets the city at an airy plaza running from the street to the entrance of the Bishopric Office. It's a great gathering spot and a fun place to relax and drink your catnip tea.
 

A hidden gem is the Arch of Schulmanicus, nestled in the green space behind the office
 

Bishop Neilson has a tranquil setting for his official business, quite a contrast to the bustling cityscape just beyond his front door
 

Baxlep Department Store is just down the street. It has a wide range of goods for just about everyone. And, it has a mitre aisle on the second floor, ensuring the steady business from the bishop.


The bishop is heading out across the Holy Quarter to visit one of his churches. Let's follow him...
 

Turn left onto Kettering Street and you're on your way...
 

Let's stop at Adamantium Cafe, conveniently located on Calico Corner, for a snackbefore we continue...
 

And now, a quick turn down Hancock Street and we are almost at St. Felix's.
 

St. Felix is one of the signature religious structures in the Holy Quarter and enjoys a fabulous waterside setting next to Seaside Park. The bishop is coming to preside over selections for the new chancel choir. Competition is going to be tough!
 

If you don't want to wait for the four hours of tryouts, why not slip over to Seaside Park? I am sure the food vendors will have something fun. And maybe we can get a kite! Wheeeeee!

 

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Beautiful work!  That is a truly lovely BAT for the Bishop, I'm certain he's comfortable conducting his business there!

[Mymyjp 1,052]

Wow...look at that plaza!!!!!! You have such a gift to create these European style cities Schlumy..

Excellent job.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

 

The Government of Schulmania proudly announces the birth of a new kitten! The Grand Duke of East Atkinos and the Baroness of Pyy, proud parents, shared the good news via SchulMedia with the Feline Realms from their mansion just outside West Forest, the capital city of East Atkinos.

 

 

The Supreme Wirdle will announce soon the new titles for the newest member of the feline ruling family. To celebrate the occasion, she has declared this week to be an official holiday with paid vacation (or holiday pay for those who can't take time off) for all felines in the nation. Queen Vera has extended this to Harar as well. Schulmania will offer a special commemorative chapter in honor of this special event soon. In the mean time, enjoy your holiday!!!

 

 

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Kitten!

 

Looks good, can't wait for more!

 

I wonder what church ceremonies/masses/religion are like for cats...

[Mymyjp 1,052]

sooooooo cute!!!!!! And I want to live in that castle..
