Back to Ohio

This week, instead of posting my usual update from my town Forest, I’m doing something different. Some of you may remember my second town, Ohio, from my Train Ride video on Youtube. I rarely play the game in that town, so I decided to check on it today. Apparently, it’s my first time playing there in almost two years. Here is a picture of Ohio’s town map:

Ohio town map.My villagers there are Freckles, Lulu, Yuka, Nate, Deena, Chief, Teddy, Chuck, Leopold, Cleo, and Lucy. Several of them were previously residents of Forest, who moved when I took train rides between towns. I know Freckles, Yuka, Teddy, and Cleo used to live in Forest. It seems like Nate may have as well, but I’m not 100% sure about him. I believe Chief may have been one of Ohio’s original residents from when I first started the town.

As expected with a town that hasn’t been played in a long time, there are lots of weeds everywhere.

Lots of weeds on the ground.I stopped to speak to all the animals, including Freckles:

Freckles: What on earth have you been doing for 21 months?I also took the time to admire Ohio’s cool waterfall.

Ohio's southeast facing, semi-enclosed waterfall.A chat with Yuka quickly reminded me how much I hated her when she lived in Forest.

Yuka: You insufferable wimp!I went into Chief’s house and saw the largest collection of clocks I’ve ever seen.

Chief's house of clocks.And even though I played in Ohio 21 months ago, I apparently didn’t talk to Deena that day. It had been over four years since I spoke to her!

Deena: You don't think I'd forget about you after just 50 months, do you?And with that, I was done with my tour of Ohio. I’m sure I’ll revisit it again sometime, but probably not for a while. I hope you enjoyed this rare look into my other town. I’ll be back to regular Forest updates next time.

Big Money & Teleporting Hank

I dug up the daily glowing spot and found a surprise. Instead of the usual 1,000 bells, I got 30,000 bells! Sweet.

Check it out! I dug up 30,000 bells!I went around talking to some of my animals, and Belle told me to build a library for her. Sure, I’ll get right on that.

Belle: I don't care if you have to sell your house to do it, but build me a library!In a rare act of kindness, Static thanked me for being a friend and gave me a green table for free.

Static: I don't know why you're always so nice to me, but I got you something to say thanks.I found the daily money rock and got the full seven bags for 13,300 bells.

Hitting the money rock.I saw Tom Hanks Tom and Hank at the bottom of the cliff, near Tom’s house.Tom and Hank outdoors.But then I immediately ran up the ramp, and at the top of the cliff, Hank was already there!

Hank on the cliff.After depositing some money in the bank at the post office, I headed for home.

Tiara Moves Out, Cleo Moves In, and Wendell Visits

It was a rainy day in Forest. I got a goodbye letter in the mail; Tiara has moved out.

Tiara's goodbye letter.Wendell the (starving artist) walrus was in town, so I went and caught a fish for him: A cherry salmon.

I caught a cherry salmon! It looks so PITiful!Wendell appreciated the fish and gave me a sandlot wall in exchange.

Wendell: Oh yes! I'll take it! Before you change your mind!I then went to meet my new neighbor. It turned out to be Cleo, who used to live in Forest a long time ago before she moved to my second town Ohio. As far as I know, she still lives there. But of course this Cleo did not remember me.

Cleo: It's a pleasure to meet you, sugar!After stopping at the post office, I went in my house and picked up my box of chocolates off the floor. To my surprise, a roach was underneath! Gross! I’m not eating those chocolates now!

Roach comes out after I pick up my chocolates.Anyway, here is a look at the sandlot wall that Wendell gave me.
