Woot Woot! More Shit!

Alright more stuff from Ostrop!
This is the Tamanany Tunnel. This tunnel was built in 1926 under the Bulwark's Beans Stadium. This tunnel was constructed as the stadium was planned to be built over a street but since there was development in the area the tunnel was built. This tunnel was mainly built by chinsims who lived in the local neighborhood (at the time it was a poor neighborhood so the chinsims were pushed in there). Sadly over 50 sims died during the construction. This was mainly due to 2 collapses. 1 happened when the tunnel collapsed before the construction of the stadium and the other occured when the field gave way in 1927 (after heavy rains) when they were constructing the underground parking garage. Later on they would be honored with a memorial at the top of each tunnel entrance.

Ah an interesting one. This is the Pinewoods Highway which runs to the SE in Ostrop. The high way gets its name from the large pine forest it runs through. Where does it run though? Well to a new renegade town on the SE shores. So far it is a small town but more later.
The first big box complex in Ostrop. Built on the outskirts of the richer east side. This was a major blessing as at the time the city was in a minor depression after a lot of factories left (high tect factories bought up the land and employed robots and humans slashing the jobs availble) and the construction provided much needed jobs plus the 500 jobs in the center. This is causing major traffic issues and many of the higher wealth residents are being scared away and the neighborhood is being degraded.
