The Better Side Of Town, Pt. 1
Chromatinfish 123 posted a City Journal entry in The Cities Of Moneyland
You might have asked, if Province was that neglected and awful, why would it be increasing in population? After all, Detroit decreased in population immensely after the motor boom. The truth is, Province did have a massive drop in population in the 70's after the rail industry collapsed. Previously at around 350,000 metro population, the area decrease significantly in population down to the 92,000 today. However, its lowest point was in 1996 at just over 50,000 metro population. So why did it rebound in the 2000s? Well, first off, districts like the Revolution District were designated, along with heritage sites preserving important buildings. This meant that buildings about to go under the axe were later preserved, like the remains of the original town hall, burned in a fire in 1906: The National Park association in Moneyland helps provide funds in order to maintain these buildings. In addition to the old town hall, the Revolution District is home to some of the most beautiful architecture in all of Northwestern Moneyland. This building in the western portion of the Revolution District is Revolution Hall, one of the oldest buildings ever built and the building for which the Revolution District is named after. Built in 1856, the building underwent a massive renovation in 1950. The building was used for a courtroom until the population of Province got too big to support it. Today it is a popular tourist attraction for guided tours. It is also the National Park HQ for Jiff Hold. This is Morgan Hall, or better known as the Morgan Aquarium. This building was originally designed to be a massive auditorium in 1890, but later was changed into an aquarium after Camp Abalazone and the Province Strip opened in 1960, allowing for much bigger venues. In 1913, Claude Debussy traveled to Moneyland to deliver one of the most famous concerts in Province. The Steinway piano he played on is still on display at Revolution Hall after being moved in 1961. At the far west of the Revolution District, we have the Church of St. Andreas. This church is situated at the intersection between Morgan Street and Sainte Andreas Avenue, one of the most famous intersections in Province. Morgan Street is a main thoroughfare that goes all the way from the ML-175 freeway in Empire Bluffs to Brotherhood Avenue a block further east from this intersection. Sainte Andreas is a small farm road down south up in the Monroe Mountain Ranges until it makes its way north to Province Strip. The Monroe Mountain Ranges are home to some very special small villages that are worth their own entry. As for the Church of St. Andreas herself, she has stood there since 1859, without much renovation. As such, the church is not in the best condition today, however Province is still arguing with the Federal Government to get funding. Here is the intersection between Morgan Street and Brotherhood Avenue East. This marks the end of Morgan Street. Brotherhood Avenue East is one of very few in the entirety of Province that is paved with gray tarmac instead of black that is found commonplace. Funnily enough, the final block of Morgan also has gray tarmac on it. * Brotherhood Avenue is another famous east-west thoroughfare in Province. Going from the ghetto-like neighborhoods of Fleetus Meadow (will cover later) to the wealthy Province Strip, then all through the eastern suburbs as a divided 4-lane highway with Michigan Lefts, it is the longest single named road in all of Province. *I know you are dying for a map, Cimtographer to the rescue coming soon! All Righty. Another short entry here, but will go faster later. It's getting late here, and we'll be ready for an *original* adventure next time! Tschüss!- 2 Comments
