Corner Haven's new mayor, Cotton "Joe" Seedly, Jr., son of the city's previous mayor, told the Midlandia Gazette that he intends to right the wrongs of his father and the previous City Council.
"We didn't oust him or effect a coup or anything dramatic like that," Seedly said. "He abdicated, and the City Council walked away over time, leaving us with a vacuum in power. So I stepped in, and we can tell you that our residents are much relieved with the changes we've brought to Corner Haven."
The evidence of the previous mayor's errors and neglect showed through in the documentation made by the new city management in a recent survey, including long abandoned water and power plants that no longer functioned, old debris left over from early industrial fires that had never been cleaned up, several abandoned industrial, residential and commercial buildings, and a funding deficit from a bloated infrastructure that did nothing.
Most curiously, the survey found a rail line that went absolutely nowhere in the North Residential District, and, oddly, a perfectly functioning subway system--the region's second--that nobody in town had publicized previously.
Asked on the whereabouts of his father, Cotton "Joe" Seedly, Seedly, Jr. was tight-lipped, though he did mention that the region's interagency police force was invovled and had the case sealed by a regional judge.
Another oddity found in Corner Haven was a tiny agricultural plot, determined to be the smallest agricultural land area in the region. Though it seemed healthy and successful, no managing authority could be located at press time.
Despite the strangeness of Corner Haven, the citizens seem happy and healthy, said regional census taker Brian Bohannon.
"I talked at length with several of the city residents, and they seemed oddly disconnected with the rest of the region. They were quite shocked to find out that several cities had sprouted up around the region, as if they just came out of a time warp or something," Bohannon said.
That isolation is likely to be coming to an end, however, as new road lines to Surrogate City to the south have recently been built, linking the two cities. Also, the city just received its first radio station, notable also for being the region's very first public radio station--named appropriately Corner Haven Public Radio.
Seedly, Jr., expressed high hopes for the new management of the city, and was especially proud of all the new trees that had been planted throughout Corner Haven.
"My father, let's face it, was a jerk, and he didn't give a crap about this town," Seedly, Jr., said. "But I love it, and I think it has a lot of potential, and we're going to work hard to be worthy of joining the Midlandia community."
New Subway Stations in Corner Haven
The Midlandia Regional Transit Authority was thrilled to discover the region's second subway system, though baffled as to why such a small city as Corner Haven would have one. The city government turned over management and oversight of the subway to the MRTA, and the authority has added five new stations to their records, which are as follows:
- Greystone Station
- Government Hub Station
- South Residential Station
- Sandstone Station
- Garbonzebo Station
