Gracie and Her Car

Today is the 27th, and fortunately I remembered that Gracie would be in town today. As usual, she complimented me on my bod. Do you think she’s being sarcastic?

Gracie: Oh, just look at you! Love your bod, babe! Tee hee hee hee.I washed her car as fast as I could.

Washing Gracie's car.When I was done, the car was spotless.

Gracie: I'll give you a piece of fine clothing, as I promised.So she gave me one of her rare shirts, a snow shirt.

Trying on the snow shirt by Gracie's car.It’s a bit out of season…shouldn’t Gracie of all people realize that fact? After that, my pockets were full and I couldn’t sell my stuff because Nookington’s was closed (as it often is when I play). I mailed away a few fossils to be identified, and then headed home to save my game.

Cleo Out, Astrid In

Back in Forest once again, I got a goodbye letter from Cleo.

Cleo's goodbye letter.I went to meet my new neighbor, Astrid the kangaroo.

Astrid: So what's your name? Yelly Von Hollerlots?It was late at night by the time I played, so Nookington’s was already closed. So I went around town pulling weeds and digging up buried items. Most of those items were fossils, but I also dug up a white queen.

Check it out! I dug up a white queen!I found the daily money rock and stopped by the police station. Copper let me know that Gracie would be in town on Tuesday.

Copper: On March 27th, we'll be running out B.I.P. campaign: Bust Illegal Parkers!

Back to Ohio

This week, instead of posting my usual update from my town Forest, I’m doing something different. Some of you may remember my second town, Ohio, from my Train Ride video on Youtube. I rarely play the game in that town, so I decided to check on it today. Apparently, it’s my first time playing there in almost two years. Here is a picture of Ohio’s town map:

Ohio town map.My villagers there are Freckles, Lulu, Yuka, Nate, Deena, Chief, Teddy, Chuck, Leopold, Cleo, and Lucy. Several of them were previously residents of Forest, who moved when I took train rides between towns. I know Freckles, Yuka, Teddy, and Cleo used to live in Forest. It seems like Nate may have as well, but I’m not 100% sure about him. I believe Chief may have been one of Ohio’s original residents from when I first started the town.

As expected with a town that hasn’t been played in a long time, there are lots of weeds everywhere.

Lots of weeds on the ground.I stopped to speak to all the animals, including Freckles:

Freckles: What on earth have you been doing for 21 months?I also took the time to admire Ohio’s cool waterfall.

Ohio's southeast facing, semi-enclosed waterfall.A chat with Yuka quickly reminded me how much I hated her when she lived in Forest.

Yuka: You insufferable wimp!I went into Chief’s house and saw the largest collection of clocks I’ve ever seen.

Chief's house of clocks.And even though I played in Ohio 21 months ago, I apparently didn’t talk to Deena that day. It had been over four years since I spoke to her!

Deena: You don't think I'd forget about you after just 50 months, do you?And with that, I was done with my tour of Ohio. I’m sure I’ll revisit it again sometime, but probably not for a while. I hope you enjoyed this rare look into my other town. I’ll be back to regular Forest updates next time.
