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. Cousin Carl, strangely, had a concrete pad in the back yard which for a long time sat unused. I asked Cousin Carl why the pad? He said he was beginning his childhood project and that pad was step two. I asked, “What was step one?” and he showed me a basement racked with car parts he had been collecting all his life. Cousin Carl is a restorer! The vehicle that he would eventually drive to our rendezvous with the Junker’s 52 was assembled in an Army surplus tent covering the venerable Cadillac convertible of 1959 series 62. Once he had the tent erected every moment of time was directed toward the full restoration from the frame up. And the color of choice? Seminole red exterior and white leather interior for an amazingly striking sight. Heads turn when this 390 cubic inch beauty rumbles down the street! Ah yes, everybody wants to know how much gasoline of the leaded variety it consumes and is it any worse than a VW? I don’t know and Cousin Carl doesn’t know, maybe Ralphie can study that? This brings us to the subject of Transportation. Private vehicle ownership is easing off with the expansion and modernization of the bus lines. The bus and metro are our principle means of public conveyance. Our new International Airport is experiencing great traffic while our Regional Airport wants to curtail the big jets and concentrate solely on local and short haul aircraft. SchroomBlaze Trucking reports our roadways are overall in good condition and only a few serious areas of delivery delay need attention. We have not as yet reached a decision on when we will replace Timboh’s 3 level roundabout intersection with the Timboh’s Turbine intersection, but many of us feel it only a matter of time. Rail traffic is mostly industrial with only one passenger station to account for. The J. Garner Cim’s would rather have the bus and metro and shun the idea of disrupting neighborhoods with above ground rail. Industrial fires keep our Reliable Fire Department on their toes and we commend the actions of our men and women who douse the flames. Investigations into the fire causes are pointing directly to the turbulent Altgeld Gardens and the inept advice from the anointed community organizer. Sunshine’s Super Mall created a sensation when they beat out the Donut Mall for a Foggy Height’s location. The Donut Mall then picked Franklin to build on condition that no high rises were to be in the same block. The Sunshine Super Mall was the talk of the town and immediately attracted a huge following. The Donut Mall opened under the tremendous media blitz from Sunshine Mall and is slowly drawing a crowd featuring ‘Cronuts.’ Many Cim’s have stopped by to say how good the show is on the 3D Cinema - located across the street from the Donut Mall - and when I get a moment I’ll take the family and then get a cronut!
