-- McPhee County Update Number #7 --

[Benedict 3,119]

I like the faded look of the newspaper, but I think it would be easier to read if the text was not underlined.

'nuff said

[TekindusT 3,809]

This pictures give the feel of a very bad situation... Can't wait to see how Leona comes out of the crisis!

[TmiguelT 10]

Yay !! More crisis around us ... I can't see how this one turns out

Very nicely done newspaper! Gives the allusion of actual paper. Wonderful work and I'm sorry to hear about the woman. Least now shes with her husband that she missed deeply according to the article.

[DCMetro34 577]

I almost thought that was a real newspaper! Excellent job!

[Benedict 3,119]

Easier to read now, and more realistic. Good work

[SounderBruce 173]

Weird news, indeed. Very nice work with the newspaper...looks rustic and realistic!

[British_Petroleum 3]

oh my god... that newspaper is in HORRIBLE condition!

(oh, and they should get that sink hole fixed. Somebody could fall in)

Thanks, I'm glad you read the whole thing. I was trying to make it interesting.

DCMetro34:

Thankyou so much, visit soon

Benedict:

Ok Good, thanks for the help.

ComputerGuy890100:

Haha, Thanks.

British_Petroleum:

Lol, yes someone could.

Leona held a meeting discussing the future of the city, how to tackle this financial crisis. The plan is as follows:

 Cancel the state fair, a costly fair that makes no profit and is held each summer for local enjoyment.

Raise middle and upper class taxes.

Lower commercial taxes to encourage job growth.

Lower industrial taxes to encourage job growth.

Although disturbing, Embrace government housing for the time being.

Other things that are being implemented are a food tax, getting a federal loan that can slowly be paid back through increase in residential taxes over the course of the next 25 years and electing a non profit mayor.

The city will also raise school, hospital, and utility budgets to a fair level while cutting budgets for silly things.

In other news, the sinkhole is attracting alot of attention in the tri-county area. Mr. Jones, the owner of the land its on is now charging tourists to see it. 

[Follarch 327]

The town is beautiful! But sims are going to hate the rise in taxes. But still, beautiful town, great work on the development.

[British_Petroleum 3]

A rise in taxes AND government housing? Somebody call Glenn Beck, we have a case of that dreaded disease he's convinced is taking over America: COMMUNISM!!!

[Benedict 3,119]

I like the saturation effect in your images... makes the trains and community gardens look very interesting.

[Lacey14 3]

If a new update isn't up tonight, expect it tomorrow

[DCMetro34 577]

Can't wait for the new update! In the meantime, this town looks very authentic! I especially like all the transit, you set up it up perfectly!

-DC

[TekindusT 3,809]

Taxes, taxes, taxes... I only expect McPhee County isn't a Republican zone or your mayor will be in trouble...

Politics aside, I've loved your industrial zone and the strip mall!

[Lacey14 3]

Your right, but that will give this crisis somewhere else to go, possibly in the future?

DCMetro34:

Thankyou once again

Benedict:

Thanks, I always thought the community gardens should be renamed something else, because they look more like mini farmland to me.

TekindusT:

Thankyou, and you may or may not find out in a future update .

British_Petroleum:

Lol, thats the best quote from anyone in either of my CJ's.

Nearby, in the city of Columbia(second largest behind Womack), something devastating has happened.

Due to the rising unemployment rate, wallets of local citizens have now dried up.

The Counties only theme park, "Seven Flags - Columbia" has been forced to close.

After months of a slow loss of customers, this once packed park is now nothing but empty.

Don't expect another update until this weekend, sorry. Thanks in advance for the comments.

[British_Petroleum 3]

SEVEN flags? Does it mean that this park has so much fun it will finally kill that annoying old guy?

[Equilibria 16]

^

Funniest reply I've read in a very long while.

[SounderBruce 173]

Aww...but I want to go to an empty amusement park...no lines!

Great update, love the MAPP usage!

[TekindusT 3,809]

You've achieved a great sad atmosphere around the theme park, my congratulations! This update has been very nice!

[Lacey14 3]

The Next Update will be within the next 3 days.

The Financial Crisis has really affected this industrial city. Take your guesses....

[Follarch 327]

That's a sad thing about the theme park! It looks enjoyable. And you even helped inspire me to build a water park.

And there's even more tragedy to come? This CJ's becoming a tearjerker. D:

[SounderBruce 173]

Yes, what is this tragedy...

Terrorist plot?

Contamination of food?

Something even more sinister?

[Lacey14 3]

Can't wait to see your WP! Atleast I have a direction now, right?

Equilibria:

I agree, and hey first time visiter

ComputerGuy890100(X2):

Thankyou for your kind words, and for visiting often. You will see below

TekindusT:

Thankyou, you are slowly becoming my favorite commenter of this CJ!

British_Petroleum:

Seven Flags has no relationship to any other park, they hold a friendly stance to most old people.

In the city of Port Moore, the seaport area's budget has been cut due to a sudden slowdown of usuage. However it was cut so low that gasoline was being bought from mexico to fill up city supply ships. The quality, erm... left much to be desired...

On another gruesome note...

Many don't know that the story is a local secret... or a myth, you decide...

TO BE POSTED THURSDAY OR TOMORROW

[SounderBruce 173]

AAH! Fire! Run!

Like the fog effects...very ominous.

[Lacey14 3]

Can you guys see the update? I think I fixed it.

[wwetom1 831]

I love your port. 'Tis a shame some Mexican gas had to ruin it. This is my first time reading this CJ, and I'm impressed!

[Lacey14 3]

I'm gonna try to stay up on comments when I have free time like right now, but not enough to update. That way I have more time to update since I won't have to do replies.

ComputerGuy890100: Yes, Run. But the fire should be taken care of... Thanks.

Wwetom1: Thanks, haha. I like New Jersey(your CJ) BTW
