Gone but not forgotten

My temporary absence has seen many changes in my county. Mr. Young is no longer manipulating the Banner, Walmart is coming in, Meijers is coming too. The FOC is still the most immoral branch of county government but hopefully will follow other unethical operations paths (Drunken County Sheriffs, Narcotic trafficker loving prosecutors, etc...). Talk is that Pennock hospital is being eyed by a larger hospital for some type of merger/take over. News was that Viking was sold and was closing/moving but they are holding an "employment fair" tomorrow. The Charlton Park is running much smoother and is now funded. 911 is a done deal with just a disgruntled employee tossing a lawsuit around. Both the new prosecutor and the Sherriff are doing their work as they should (both have disgruntled residents tossing rotten apples, lol). The new addition to the Medical facility is now in operation and tendercare has killed someone (kind of like Pennock but without the cover up). Several new banks are in town and at least one of the originals is suffering greatly in this baking crunch.

Guess I shouldn't be away for so long!
