[QUOTE="Krizzel, post: 657622, member: 9062"] And also... The year is 2005. It is Monday, January 31st. Recent snowfalls, though not breaking the records set in the blizzard of ’78, have topped five feet, delaying the start of the University semesters to today. The area High schools only started last week, two weeks late, and today the second week of school begins. Almost two weeks ago the new President, Victor Harrison – a democrat – took office. He was elected as a representative of the common citizen as a reaction after the previous President fought a year long war in the Middle East. Though it was successful, a previously ailing financial sector, and the fact that taxes were actually lowered during the war, has crushed the economy (though the rich did get richer). The problem has been further worsened by the nation’s new commitments to peacekeeping in the Middle East region, and the ongoing crusade against terrorism. Harrison’s platform of economic repair with results for the middle and lower classes won out by far. And experts in Windy City forecast that Harrison’s election may spell problems for the city’s current mayor, William S. Springfield. This year is set to see the opening salvoes in what looks to be a hotly contested mayoral race that will actually be taking place next year. The south side of the city has been hit particularly bad by the nation’s economic woes, and much of west side is barely better off. In sports news, the Buffaloes have had a huge start over the last couple months to their season. There are high hopes for a championship this year after their last one five years ago. The Grizzlies are also doing well, improving on their past performance, but it would be huge upset for them to even make it into the running for a shot at the finals. The Arrows, though, are not doing well, and they haven’t been for the last couple years. Interest in hockey games – at least Arrows games – is falling. Daily life, aside from the difficulties of economy and weather, is more or less status quo for the city and its suburbs… [/QUOTE]
