- CSWC Monorail loop completed! Two stations await construction though.
- Nut Highway is creeping it's way through town. It's made it's way through Silver Valley and James River and is now working with the Central SW City board to work it's way towards Syntax Estates.

Build Raising
Posted Thursday, August 8, 2002 by Chris
Well the build raising went great! I should have posted this sooner, but there's a lull period here at work and well... *grins sheepishly*

We had a ton of people come out to it, and about half took part in the building. We all decided to build a biodome, with five different biomes in it: A grassland, a wetland, a jungle, a high altitude alpine area, and a desert.

We also put in lots of educational things like info signs and hands on activities. This would be a cool thing to show the kids. :)

You can visit the SW City Biodome at AW 2280S 3462E.

Due to popular demand, Orton Strip Mall is expanding. Today, 4 new shops were built: Kong Burger, Pop Shop, Chris Cat's computer shop (no name yet), and last but not least, and you may of heard of this legendary store before...another Shack Shop! Also CMM and Syntax secretly furnished the back alley dark bar about a week ago =P

You can get to OSM with the hot spot link on the right.
