Charie D. La Marr, mayor ofPersiphoniaover 16 years agoPersiphonia has reached the half million mark! Imagine one half a million crazy people living in one city! It is totally amazing. I checked the list of available landmarks and decided to treat my citizens to a little something to celebrate. I bought them the Tokyo Tower. But after I signed the check and paid for it, I decided to read the brochure about it. Always read the brochure first. The Tokyo Tower is a communications and observation tower. At 333 meters (1,091 ft), it is the tallest self-supporting steel structure in the world and the tallest artificial structure in Japan. The structure is an Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice tower that is painted white and international orange to comply with air safety regulations. Sounded pretty good to me. I figured it would make a great cellphone tower. Not that we don’t already have perfect cellphone coverage in Persiphonia. Absolutely zero dead spots. Persiphonians think no bars means it’s after 4 am and there’s no place to get a drink. But then I did some further checking. The tower acts as a support structure for an antenna. Originally intended for television broadcasting, radio antennas were installed in 1961 and the tower is now used to broadcast both signals for Japanese media outlets such as NHK, TBS and Fuji TV. Japan's planned switch from analog to digital for all television broadcasting by July 2011 is problematic, however. Tokyo Tower's current height is not high enough to adequately support complete terrestrial digital broadcasting to the area. A taller digital broadcasting tower known as Tokyo Sky Tree is currently planned to open in 2011. This darn thing was built in 1958! What? You mean it’s being replaced by something else? We’re getting an outdated tower when there is a new one on the horizon? And it wasn’t even on sale? I had to think quickly to be able to put this one over with the City Council and the Persiphonians and justify spending 10 extra large on a knock off Eiffel Tower that is red and white and kind of resembles something made out of legos. Well, I came up with a few ideas. I considered using it as an oil rig, but Persiphonia is built on bedrock, and we don’t have any oil to drill for. So first of all, as of today, we have our own television station, WPTV and a matching radio station. If we have to build a higher tower later, then we will. In the meantime, it will cover a small area and provide us with a good local channel. It will also be used for media classes in high school and college—and we will have both high school and college radio and television stations now. Then, for a little adventure, we have set up some climbing walls on the exterior of the tower. You want to reach the observation deck? Well, hook up a harness and climb up on the outside. We already have a lot of interest in that idea. Lastly, I did manage to get them to include FootTown, a four story building directly underneath the tower that houses restaurants, shops and museums and the local noodle men are already busy working on a very fancy Japanese restaurant. It’s called ã¯ã™ãƒŒãƒ¼ãƒ‰ãƒ«or Lotus Noodles. It’s going to be the best Japanese Restaurant in Metropolis. We are also adding a Geisha House to FootTown, which should be quite interesting. Tonight’s first broadcast on WPTV will feature the grand opening and the first climb up the tower as well as our half a million people celebration. Persiphonia is now only one landmark away from the infamous Burj, but still hoping that our President negotiates with he Chinese to bring us the Great Wall of China. It’s very hard explaining 10 billion dollars for a used tower that looks like legos. Thank you all for sending us your people. From the noodlemen to the Goths to blondes to all kinds of people, Persiphonia has now become a true melting pot and a great place for crazy people to live. Keep sending us your crazy folk. Next stop – one million! Our goal is to interact with every city in Persiphonia. If you know a city who has not sent us people yet, tell them to send some! We want people from every city in Metropolis living in Persiphonia. Please remember to POP or Entertain us back often when you see us down. We have reached 1000 connections AGAIN, but I’m deleting a bunch more who do not autopop daily, so wait about a couple days ask us again. I ONLY accept cities who send a FRIEND REQUEST. Don’t ask here and don’t send me a message. ONLY friend requests will be considered in the order they arrive. I intend to give preference to people who have loyally popped Persiphonia though they were non-connections. We autopop every night at midnight or as close to midnight as we remember to. AND NOW FOR THE LATEST NEWS … Tales of Persiphonia is now online! I am in the process of adding all of the tales from way back in the beginning, along with my personal tips for playing the game and other cool Persiphonia stuff. You can find us at http://persiphonia.wordpress.com/ Drop by often. Leave comments. We love to hear from you! I am almost up to date adding the old ones to the blog. WIN 25 PRESIDENTIAL FAVOR POINTS!

Charie D. La Marr, mayor ofPersiphoniaover 16 years agoAfter the great afternoon at Homeless Day, pretty much everyone headed over to Sully Park. Turkey makes you very sleepy, and it was a warm day so everyone decided to stretch out on the grass and start a good base for their summer tans. Of course Feral and Malicious headed indoors in order to stay as white and pale as possible. I had just gotten my runner up envelope prize from Blondeopolis’ talent show. I was kind of disappointed that I didn’t win. I thought my medly of ‘Twist N Shout’ and ‘Shake Your Tailfeathers’ was pretty hot. And I was sure I had enough Persiphonians there to tip the scales on the Blonde-o-Meter. But I am working on a new routine for the next talent show that will knock their blonde socks off. But I have been hearing a lot about their great new luxury mall, and that it stays open very late on Sundays. I heard they had great designer shoe stores as well as some great hat shops and lots of bookstores. And everyone knows that in addition to being a shoe freak, I am a sucker for hat shops and book stores. So, with my free valet parking coupon, I headed over there to check it out. When I got into the parking lot, I happened to see this little old lady in a beat up old Cadillac searching for a parking space. She seemed very frustrated. The mall was quite crowded. She had a handicapped sticker, but all the handicapped spaces were filled. So, being the good, upstanding citizen and humanitarian that I am, I rolled down my window and offered her my free valet parking coupon. So what if I had to park a little way away? The walk would do me good after pigging out on turkey and all the trimmings and two pieces of chocolate cake. I figured she would accept it and thank me for the offer. Instead, she flashed me a toothless grin and said “Sucker!†holding up a whole stack of the free valet coupons. Then she added “I saw your act. You sucked!†Apparently she had been collecting them all day. Well, rather than beat an old lady senseless for a valet parking coupon, I decided to cut my losses and go find a parking space. I was pretty lucky and found one in a few minutes. As I was walking into the mall, I noticed that the old lady was now walking up and down the line of cars waiting to valet park, offering them coupons at a 50% discount! The nerve of her. But the valet parking at the Blondeopolis Luxury Mall is 20 bucks, which is pretty steep, and she was making a lot of sales. As she saw me walk by she cackled and gave me the finger. I told her that her roots were showing. Then I asked her if she knew how to keep an old bleached blonde in suspense. She said no. I said I would tell her later. I almost gave her the finger, but Persiphonian women pride themselves on being ladies. Most of the time. As soon as I got into the mall, I found a pair of security guards. I told them that there was an old broad outside selling counterfeit valet parking vouchers. I also told them that if they checked with their collection of wanted posters, they would see that she resembled Geriatric Annie Faulkes—wanted in at least 15 cities in Metropolis for pulling cons. While one of them went out to find her, the other one went to check the wanted posters. She tried to make a run for it, but even in her sensible shoes, they easily outran her. Sure enough, it was Geriatric Annie. The reward for her capture was 100 thousand dollars. I am donating half of the reward to Blondeopolis because without that free voucher, I never would have caught her. I hope they do something nice with their 50K. By the way, the mall was lovely. I bought two hats, an armful of books, but no shoes. I have been looking for a pair of ivory and navy spectator pumps forever and, alas, they still elude me. But old Annie didn’t elude me. She will be spending a lot of time in the slammer where she belongs. And the citizens of Metropolis can rest just a little easier tonight. And I am working on a new act for the next talent show. Of course, I stopped at the pizzeria on the way home and took my two pizzas home for dinner. Feral and Malicious were starving. They give Blondeopolis pizza 5 zombies—their highest rating. They especially liked the olives—which I told them was Blondeopolis’s special Goth pizza with eye of newt. Visit soon! Blondeopolis rocks!
