April 15, 2009 - "City Journal Part 1" - Robert Henderson, Intern at Lucas County Auditors office

The year is 2009. 

Current Data shows this county will start expanding very rapidly in the coming decades. This journal will show that progress. 

My name is Robert, I work for the Lucas County Auditor's office. I have been assigned to chart the progress in a "Visual" manner. Somehow, the county auditors office was able to borrow a helicopter from the BFPS. Since I was chosen to document this expansion, I got to go in that helicopter. Here are the pics from that journey.

So yeah it was a pretty great helicopter ride. I never noticed how much pollution Lucas Valley actually spits out. It's disgusting in there. I understand the need for that stuff, its just... A LOT. 

Took the camera for a little trip around town.. Just a couple of shots..

Heres the office building that the auditors office is in. Preeeettyyy cool building eh? I think on the 15th floor there is a Fox news studio.

So yeah. This is Lucas County "so far". 

And just as I was about to finish this up I actually have more to show you. 

A recent satellite pic was grabbed, and here is our Counties official "zone borders". Who ever did this is wasting their time.

    6 MONTHS LATER

    October 20th, 2009 - "City Journal Part 1" - Robert Henderson, Intern at Lucas County Auditors Office

    Work to be done

    OK, so I messed up. When starting this Journal, I wasn't under the assumption that the helicopter ride was not a 1 time thing. Apparently, the BFPS has given us the the helicopter. We are allowed to use it whenever we want. 

    It is officially now my job to "photo document any and all work done on the grounds of Lucas County". This includes getting pictures of any area both before and after work has been done. This complete documentation will allow any onlookers to see the complete plight of the wonderful county of Lucas. 

    Now, onto me messing up. I missed before pictures of both advancements that have happened in this city in the last 6 months. 

    So first things first, we have a brand new skyscraper built in downtown Lucas.

    She's a beast. Here's a view from the top.

    Secondly, we got more huge houses in the huge house area.

    Bald hill is apparently an improvement area for th city. From what I can see they want only high wealth living on the top. Hey, if they want to waste the gas money living all the way up there and driving to the city to actually live everyday, thats up to them. 

    Besides the Section 8 part of the city, theres no real crime induced areas. I'd say its safe to say I'd live anywhere in this area.

    City Traffic Update

    We have an official image in from LDOT, (Lucas Department of Transportation) charting traffic patterns. Driving every single day on the only peice of road that shows bad traffic, I can confirm it sucks on that road.

    Also, got a little treat for those who Love the city traffic map, back before Weston was even a glisten in our eyes, we have a traffic map of just Lucas. Most of that area is now concidered South Lucas.

    Thats all for today folks.
