Well, due to highway construction, and Vinny, we couldn't go to Philadelphia today. Fortunately for us, we get to see this ubber-cool suburb! Huzzah! Before the suburban sprawl... The interchange of the N S Freeway and I-295. More growth along a main drag. Note the suburban layout. It is getting bigger. More pictures will come soon, after it expands some more! Adam

Adam: Seems like it will be a rough flight.... We are going to visit my cousin Vinny, he's the mayor of Westchase. Thats just accross the river from Philadelphia in New Jersey. Eh, vinny and I got along alright, but we were never really close. We sometimes fought, verbally and physically. He always won, but now, I am the real winner! His...

Sick Day Blues...

By thepokemaniac,

The Winchester PostWINCHESTER, Delaware- It seems as if everyone is getting the H1N1 flu virus in Winchester. H1N1, more commonly refered to as "Swine Flu," is spreading at an exponentially fast rate, especially in West Winchester. Even the Mayor has Swine Flu now, and with the begining of regular Flu Season approaching, the city could fall victim to this International Pandemic. "We are expecting around 40-60% of the city to get H1N1," said University of Delaware Medical Center doctor Charlie "DW" Dwight,...

After shopping at the mall, you hear that the world-renouned cellist Yo Yo Ma is perfroming at the Metropolitan Plaza Building in Downtown. You decide to go check it out. Now, you must drive to the other side of town to Downtown to visit the Met Plaza (aka: City Hall Plaza). Yo Yo Ma is there right now! Nicknamed "the bland bullet" by locals, the Met Plaza is the fourth tallest building in downtown. It has a large lobby with a restaraunt an d a bank. After the show, why not take a stroll along the bay? Now...

Shortly after our departure from Winchester, TekindusT made the descision to turn back near Wilmington. This is because Mayor Adam had a severe cough. The coughing gradually got worse, and when we got back, the Mayor went to the University of Delaware medical center, where he was diagnosed with H1N1. This sad turn of events has made for a delayed departure of Winchester. Well, yes, its true. I have Swine Flu. No need to be alarmed, I am expected to make a full recovery soon! Anyway, while I am a resting...

This is a bit unrelated, but while Simtropolis was down, I was using Photoshop! These are ads for Winchester International Airport, and will be in local newspapers, comercials, billboards, and bus stops! I hope you all liked them! More pictures will come of the airport soon, so stay tuned!

Sitting in a dark room on the 45th floor of the AT&T building in the middle of downtown Winchester, a computer geek recieves and LOTs new secretly obtained BATs for the Winchester Airport. He writes the website where he found the super-awesome BATs from on a small Starbucks napkin, later realizing that he has smudged it out with a coffee stain. Their origin may never be released, until they come out of the BETA stage. Well, I spent a while doing this, but, here it is! The finally LOTed airport set I found...

Emergency Landing!

By thepokemaniac,

This morning, Delta flight 189 from Atlanta to Boston had to make an emergency landing after an engine caught fire. Luckily, We had just finished the first runway at the Winchester airport, because the closest other airport with sufficient facilities for an emergency was Wilmington! Everyone on board was alright, and the plane is being repaired at a hangar in Winchester. Good thing we had ground crews!

WinchesterGood evening! Tonight, there is a special performance of Chess at the Metropolitan Opera house, and I have special box seats! After the show, we will get to meet the actors up close. We will walk to the opera house since it is only about 12 blocks. Now, look to your right and you will see the newly-completed Citigroup tower. Finally we made it! And just in time- all those Labor Day vacationers are here too! Well, I hope you enjoy the show! Mayor Adam

By thepokemaniac,

Atlantic Avenue- the main boulevard that runs from East Winchester, into the suburbs, and out of town where it becomes highway 2. Atlantic Ocean- a large body of water that borders the Bay area, it stretches from the Arctic Ocean to the coast of Antarctica where it meets the Southern Ocean.

Erm, not the Atlantic, that is for later, but the Bay! Its salt water, so it will feel like the ocean, sort of. Wow! 3:00 already?! We should leave now! Come on, I am good at getting around downtown, so I'll drive. We will keep going on Pete St... Finally, we have reached Atlantic Ave. Now, we continue on this road until we get to the beach.

I lover to tease you guys! I also like to use the Lot Editor, something that I wil be using a lot for this airport, so you will see some pretty cool stuff in it, and even some that hasn't been released as a lot yet! This is the oldest terminal in the airport, the 36 year old, terminal A. It will be demolished after the three new terminals are completed, and then replaced with an ultra-modern new T A. Note the super awesome Delta CRJ! With a tight buget, the state has not been able to handle the thick...

East Winchester Ah, hello! Sorry to wake you at 1:30 AM, but there is a part of Winchester that I want you to see. This is not an area where you want to go past midnight, but it is necisary for you to understand the poverty that still exists in Winchester. Keep your gaurd up, as we will not be getting a police escort into this area; it will attarct attention. As we leave our hotel, we will continue on MLK Blvd past the stadiums. At the intersection of MLK and Port Ave, we will continue going strait. After...

WinchesterThere is a big problem in downtown Winchester, and its not just the crime! The Indian River Bay is eroding right upon the city! To fight this serious problem, the state of Delaware has given 2.5 million dollars to the city of Winchester to fix the problem. So with a team of highly trained engineers from the Corp of Engineers, FERC, TVA, and the Beurau of Reclaimation have been gathering in Winchester for the past month to try and decide how to fix this problem. The solution was simple- a 4 mile...

THE WINCHESTER POSTToday, Governor Jack Markell announced that the State of Delaware, in a joint effort with the City of Winchester, would build an airport in Westminster using leftover stimulus money. Many Westminster residents are upset since they don't want planes zooming over their homes all the time. Mayor Adam Jones is listening to these complaints, and he is urging the planners to make the runway face Indian River Bay 1/4 of a mi. away. No one lives between the proposed site of the airport and the...
