Newsletter-August 2003

SW City's Official Newsletter - August 2003

EDITOR'S NOTE

You may have noticed that last month I mentioned in this space that we had something involving talk radio. Well, I was a month off. THIS month you will get to download the first episode of the new SW City Radio show. This month also marks the signing of a contract with SW Air and Goobertran Airlines, who will be servicing SW City's brand new airport that will open soon in the northwest part of the mainland, and the announcement of a full length comedy that to be quite honest will be pure horror beyond imagination (two points to who gets that reference). And although it's not featured in this newsletter, there have been a few expansions to Orton Strip Mall as well. Yes, like the energizer bunny, we just keep going and going and going on that place.

Cheers,
SW Chris, Editor-in-Chief

SW CITY RADIO DEBUTS

From the air capital of the world and the forests of the east coast and west coast of the United States, and coming to you via Internet telephony, join some of SW City's more well known folks in a radio show about life, technology, and of course Activeworlds.

SW City Radio is a monthly show that will run approximately an hour long. The show, hosted by SW Chris will feature three co-hosts on a rotating schedule and will cover the news of the day and various AW topics in a lively and somewhat... quirky fashion.

Join SW Chris, SW Comit, Captain MAD Mike, and Goober King for the first episode. Originally recorded in late June, hear them talk about their opinions on AW 3.4 and AWRPG World's new planting system. Download from the webpage linked below.

COME FLY OUR FRIENDLY SKIES

SW City International is getting ready to open its doors. This bustling hub of air activity is home to several carriers, Alpha Air, Mango Frontier, Nimbus Express, Quantinental, and SWAIR. In front of the entrance to the terminal is also a swank four-star hotel for weary travellers. Inside the main terminal one will find all sorts of passengers, who are various denizens from cities around the area, a comfortable area to eat and shop, and the shuttle to the secondary terminal.

Right now the finishing details are being finalized, so we can't give out the coordinates right now. But watch this space for them in future issues.

SYNTAX'S SW PICK OF JUNE, JULY, AND AUGUST

This (3) month's pick is kinda odd. First of all, the build was caught in the Irenic Ocean construction and really shouldn't be in SW'ian territory. I guess it can't be an SW Pick but oh well, I make the rules. ;P

I really don't know why I like this build but it's just cool. If you have the time, stop by and check out this build and maybe the other stuff around it. The area is from 2000 and is built by what seems to be amateur builders, yet it is an intersting place to visit.
