Mayor Haylo Stachoo
Rode over to Frankin -- not in Cousin Carl's Cadillac -- but in his friends Ferrari F430 while listening to, "The Art of Driving in the Rain" from a CD. We investigated the Franklin interchange finding it's size and usage questionable. Enzo (legally changed name from Frank) drove exceptionally well and kept a decent speed when he could have put me in a panic. Anyway, we used some photo's from our Junker's adventure and made notes to bring back to Walter, er, WAT. A mobile phone call and my willing...

What to do?

By Mayor Haylo Stachoo,

What to do? Traffic entering Briarwood’s Wood Industrial area was backing up into Timboh’s Turbine Intersection causing a major headache. The old exit strategy of only right turns had reached maximum and the choice demanded an exit only for the industry. That done, the line formed again and a new bottleneck at the end of the ramp to the road began. So, how about this… move the exit ramp to dump everybody into the back of the industrial area? That would not conflict with those entering towards the...

We are getting better! Our citizens enjoyed one of our most efficient and time saving changes to our highway. While Timboh’s 3 tier Roundabout interchange was good with normal traffic the surges from the daily rush were causing impossible traffic jams. Our interchange of choice — Timboh’s Turbine — opened at the peak of morning rush hour and handled traffic with ease. Please listen to these words of advise from our Highway Patrol Chief: Junior Brown, “I got a star on my car and one on my chest, A gun...

Many cim’s believe my family and I live atop one of the most prestigious hotels in the city while in reality we do live ground level next to Cousin Carl. Our house sits facing the city center and is backed by the bay, a truly peaceful and exciting place to be all at once. Everyone calls him Cousin Carl, yet I have not seen one cim who has identified himself as a cousin. Anyway, when we moved here from the defunct city of Mycala of SC4 fame Cousin Carl availed himself in the most hospitable fashion. ...

Greetings J. Garnerians! I trust we all exited the year with our homes, businesses, jobs and playthings intact? Our police and fire departments were particularly aware of safety issues during this time. Ya’ll saw the fire trucks (and it is a Ferrara not a Ferrari) making courtesy calls to areas of former intense activity. The Volvo, Mercedes and Sepji Lader add to the growing list of vehicles tending to our city. From the predicament of “Not Enough Buyers for Product,” Industry agreed to allow...

As voices continue to wish for a smaller community, the same voices rejoice with each new addition the city is able to offer. When the proposal for the Guggenheim Museum and Koothrappali’s Satellite Dish came to a vote, all hands were in the air and not one dissension. Along with Koothrappali’s dish an anonymous donor sent a request for the DB Cooper Forestry College to be added to the Cim State College campus and just under the wire was the Wolowitz Applied Science Center. We heartily welcome these...

We don’t know how he did it, but Dr. Koothrappali erected his satellite dish in front of Sheldon’s Spot, a half circle park, perfectly aligned to minimize glare while having an overview of the harbor with the breeze at his back. Meanwhile Cim State College has welcomed DB Cooper Forestry College with a grant of ₡200,000 from an anonymous donor. The Wolowitz Applied Science Center(WASC) rounds out the new additions to the Cim State College and Dr. Koothrappali says the position of the WASC is in the area...

While signing a few variances, clearing the way for the Guggenheim Museum and the Donut Mall — Coming Soon — a man swished open my Shirley Temple shower curtain and said, “Hello, my name is Fred M. Queen and I represent the Hermes Bus Company.” I replied, “Ah yes, our districts are served by the winged wonder of Hermes… how may I help you?” Fred instantly chimed in, “Now I’m Here for a Breakthru…” as his words describing the predicament flowed forth, I felt utterly mesmerized by the structure and...

There is a story on how these aerial photographs were taken. My next door neighbor, Cousin Carl, (not my cousin) knows a man who restored a Junkers Ju 52/3m g8e (S). He says it was an aerial ambulance during the later stages of WWII. Jedediah the Pilot said he would be happy to fly us around for picture taking as long as he got permission to do low level passes to the whole city. CTNX declined, but that wasn’t a game breaker. We met at the Regional Airport where Cousin Carl drove me in his 1959...

The culmination of learning enjoys a pleasant bluff overlooking the work-a-day world. Cim State College gives our students, and future captains of industry, a very robust educational experience in the Populous tradition of Home Schooling. The newly added Book Bank will insure continuing education for those who just can’t get enough. Negotiations may bring the renowned Koothrappali Satellite Dish to our College and, who knows, maybe another Planet Bollywood discovery!

A short update here from your Acting Mayor Haylo Stachoo about some changes and some direction from the populace. First, we have moved our Regional Airport which coincides nicely with the new area called, “Fun ’n Sun Spot.” We have Motorway, Metro and the Regional Airport to service this happy land which is enjoying a tax-free introduction. We hope visitors and tourists will flock and play! The area vacated by the Regional Airport gave the green light for the International Airport, as, it was the only...

I address you today as Deputy Mayor of the city: J. Garner. Our city has experienced a multitude of problems and through it all our citizens have steadfastly endorsed this office. We are grateful for your support and endeavor to provide the best from this office. In that regard I wish to comment on the excellent coffee and donuts brought to you by Muzz Buzz and Sally’s Donut Shop. It is with entrepreneurs like these that our city will grow and prosper. I have heard it said the coffee and donuts are to...
