Riots, Roads and Rails
The rail connection to Eastside and the Eastern Railway Grand Line is way under way and is making good progress. The rail will be accompanied by the Interstate Road 2 (I2). After the completion of the project, all of LA's settlements will finally be connected together. The rail and the road are passing between the Santa Monica mountains and the ocean shore, providing breathtaking views for the drivers. I2 and the rail can be seen on the map below.
There are quite few tunnels on both the rail and the road, so they dissapear from the map on some places:
The city council is quite optimistic that the road and the rail will be completed by the end of the next year. But this is not the only change in the LA Metro area. The towns too have upgraded and developed. First, let's mention that now all of the houses in all of the towns have fresh water supply.
A shot of Eastside's centre and water tower:
The case with Chinatown's water tower is much different.
Soon after it's construction in 1904 the tower could not provide enough water to all of the industry and houses
so in 1905 additional, bigger one was erected. Here we see the both towers in the upper and down corners of the picture:
Now, finally the mayor of Chinatown could enjoy freash water for his bath and his little pond. No longer the maids have to run for water to the ocean and then pour it into the pumping system of the pond.
The water pipes
and the now watered mayor's house:
The citizens of Malibu were privileged with large water tower form the begining. It was constructed right next to the Farmer's Market:
Malibu saw fit that now that she had water supply, the Town Hall must be Improved. The fields around it were destroyed and replaced with rural development - a park, commercial zone, and houses.
The development report ends with the Town of Los Angeles itself. Since LA is now supplied with free oil, Gas Stations are sprouting everywhere. The town even withnessed some big corporation opening their Gas Stations on the main street. This does not bring good news to the owners of small, rural gas stations.
Mr. Kreszky's gas station, dwarfed by the LukOil behemoth Station:
In addition to that, to celebrate the new 1907, on New Year's Eve, the citizens of Los Angeles rioted! Apparently it all started when some drunk bums tryied to rob the Mobil Gas Station. The staff defended themselves with shotguns and crowbars. Attracted by the noise, local citizens joined the action. Soon the things got out of hand.
The mob:
Property damage for thousands of Simoleons was inflicted:
The government was forced to send out the best of the newly formed Police Force to deal with the rioters:
By the end of January 1st the order was restored and the town could return to normal. The council and the citizens of LA wish to express their gratitude and respect to the police, for doing such a fine job on the New Year's Vandalizations. Thank you, boys!
