Trentonburg and its Districts (Pt. 2)
Ok, as promised here is the exciting conclusion to Part 1 of Trentonburg and its Districts. Since we left off choking on Doherty's hazarous fumes, why don't we drive down Constance Street and take a dip in the sludge known as...
Trentonburg Harbor
The shipping industry started early in Trentonburg's history due to the deep waters of the Manahasset Bay and the protection from choppier waters that the island of Holland County provides. The harbor also serves as the link to the rest of the world for the large manufacturing bases inland in Leyland County that need to get thier goods out. Below we can see the container yards in the center of the harbor, where the water is as murky as the air in Doherty.
Trentonburg International Airport
Ok take a chemical shower and lets continue our tour. Here is Trentonburg International Airport, serving all of the City of Trentonburg as well as Portland County to the south. (Sorry no fancy Airport Mods here, nothing against our Simtrop Modders but the vanilla SC4 Airport just takes up less space) Notice the easy access to and from Interstate 95. Why there is a Petco across from the terminal I have no idea, I can't imagine they do any business.
University Heights
Ok now that we have had a look at the City's transport hubs, lets head over to the University and hit the books, or the kegs, depending on your style. Trenton University was founded in 1888 and is the area's top public institution. Popular courses of study here include Business, Mathematics, Science, and Underwater Basket Weaving. Here you can see the University itself as well as the University Heights Train Station. This station lies along the four-track, below-grade mainline that runs between the City and the interior of the region. Amtrak and the local freight carriers constantly struggle to balance increasing passenger rail demand with the massive freight quantities being shipped from neighboring Leyland to the above mentioned harbor.
Verdant Meadows
Ahh, rolling green lawns and pretty pink houses, it must be Verdant Meadows! This nice little suburb of Trentonburg enjoys a slower pace of life then the more urban regions of the city, and speaking of urban, what is that little brown nasty building on the corner of Martin Luther King Blvd and Jason St.? I'll have to put in a word to the City's Urban Blight Prevention Coordinator to have that 'ahem' taken care of.
Perkins
OK now to contrast those pretty green lawns, lets go to the other black (brown) eye, Perkins, also known as Doherty's twin. Which is the evil twin is for you to decide. The area started as one factory, the Perkins Furniture Company, (Gray building, left center) where the district's name come from. But after Perkins built thier own rail spurs along the mainline, it encouraged other factories to open shop here, and there we have it, another industrial cesspool that the city likes to pretend it doesn't have.
Richmond
And to finish off our tour, lets look at Richmond, while not technically part of the City of Trentonburg, Richmond lies across the bay on the Island of Holland County. The richest of the rich reside here and nothing peeves them off more than when those dirty Trentonites take the ferry over and muck up thier pretty beaches with thier bonfires and hip hop music.
Thats it for your introduction to the City of Trentonburg. We will continue to check up on what the city does in the future, but for our next update we will hop on the train and take a ride inland to Leyland County to see how the region's breadbasket keeps Trentonburg fed. Stick around!
