Datsville, November 1, 1999
Datsville is really on the map now. Metro train service opened at newly completed Union Station. Rene Virsiks limo service was on hand to ferry passengers from the station to their homes--those too impatient to wait for
bus service.
Commerce in Datsville is also picking up, with the opening of the strip mall, grocery store, a fine glass shop, and even a bait -n- tackle shop. Mayor Stembel denied allegations that the strip mall received a special zoning variance only because the Mayors brother developed the mall. With its close proximaty to the train station, the mall will bring in business from all over the county. Just because a hospital was originally planned for that spot doesnt mean we should hold up progress!
City services have expanded to include a hospital and police stationjail included. Mr. Burger was disappointed that his Ferrari was not fixed before the new police presence put a damper on late night hot-rodding through the town.
Developer Brian Sauls continued his bid to become Datsvilles #1 landlord. His posh new 18 unit apartment complex is filling quickly, and joins the triplex completed earlier this year. Sauls Inc. also has a controlling stake in the grocery and bait stores.
Datsville College is putting the finishing touches on its new stadium. Desinged to allow both football and cricket matches, it is expected to host the Datsville Falcons homecoming game next week. Workers promised to have the stadium lights up by then.
In other news, construction continued on the bridge over Blissful River. Once the bridge is complete, it will link state routes on both sides of Datsville, increasing opportunities for commerce (and traffic).
