Escape from Odessa

By ComradeTaco,

After the crash, all Willy could do was wander... empty streets... Empty factories... Empty docks...wait a second... thats the USS H20! Willy is greeted to a sailor mentioning that this the final Odessa Evac and taken aboard the extra storage compartments. No reports of enemy attacks recently on the river...but you can never be too careful... At the sub pen Willy manages to slip away from the crew. He has about $2.25 in his pocket. Enough for a bus fare... The bus dumps him off at the Financial District....

On the Heli

By ComradeTaco,

Willy regained consciousness. His head is limp against the interior window of a helicopter. He can't muster the energy to move it. "Looks like we're taking off." He mumbles quietly to himself. Within moments, the severity of the situation strikes him. Willy decides its best just to watch: " Looks like a nice place to live..." passes through his mind, as the helicopter speeds by this mysterious city. " Tanks...what could tanks be doing here...just a training exercise, I'm sure..." he thinks. "Must be a...

Wilks "Willy" St. Jaques, the soon to be dispatcher for the C&O on its shelbyville branch, was greeted to the glorious morning sun from his two- floor home right next to the John F. Kennedy Industrial Park. After gathering together his lunchbox, keys and his wifes home baked cookies. His car is the blue 1955 Chevy approaching a stop sign on the T intersection closet to the shore. Eventually, he reaches the freeway and braces himself for the city. "Mmmmmmm....Wendy's......" is the first coherent thought...

After another successful meeting with the North New Little Odessa Chamber of Commerce, Mr.Brown, owner and proprietor of Potomac Attire, must return back to his shop keeping duties. With two Chesapeake and Ohio tickets in his back pocket, Mr. Brown set out for Union Station. On foot, he passes by the district court and the WNRR radio station. His walk takes him through the city's bustling CBD. Being a very portly man, Mr.Brown can barely lug himself up the stairs of Union Station. Within moments of...

The Suburbs

By ComradeTaco,

"If you follow the suburban fashion in building a sumptuous- looking house for a little money, it will appear to all eyes as a cheap, dear house."-Ralph Waldo Emerson The words of Emerson ring true today within New Odessa, as can be scene with the beauty of Clayhurst university corrupted by the bland monotonous suburbs. Cars pass below the old railroad embankment, which is still in use today. Washington memorial park with its open grass spaces and lovely brick walkways makes it an excellent spot for young...

A City In Motion

By ComradeTaco,

Here a LRV pair speeds towards the edge of the suburbs. Another LRV pulls out to transport another batch of commuters off to the sterile office buildings of the Financial District. In a city that never stands still, another train coasts into the beautiful Victorian Jamaica Plain station. DB Express 2056 speeds through South Minister station in cross-town service. A rare moment of peace at Diamond Zebra. Finally, the B32 slows for a stop sign in the Industrial Quarter. Even through the rain, the trains do...

A City Of Industry

By ComradeTaco,

"There exist limitless opportunities in every industry. Where there is an open mind, there will always be a frontier. " -Charles Kettering We begin this city Journal with a look at New Little Odessa's gritty industrial waterfront, a center of manufacturing and commerce. Unfortunately the cities docks are ill equipped for large container ships,making the loading process slow and expensive. Hopefully this issue will be resolved with the opening of new container port on New Little Odessa's northern shore. The...
