Tearing it Down

Nook’s Cranny had a diner neon sign for sale today. It’s the large neon sign that says “We’re open,” and I’ve wanted one for my amusement park since the beginning. Surprisingly, it only cost 3,900 bells, when many smaller, less interesting items often sell for 40k or more. But I’ll take it! I placed it just left of the teacups ride, though I’ll probably need to put some flowers around it as well.

The daily glowing spot’s streak of appearing in Sudden Valley has ended. I found it in front of the museum today. It must prefer places where there’s clear space all around it, since this is a rare spot in town where my path is three spaces wide.

It was raining pretty heavily today, and Apple’s enthusiasm for the rain went a bit overboard. She said it would be great if it rained so much that the island sunk! She assumed we would all turn into mermaids, but still, that’s a horrible thing to hope for! I’ve put a lot of time and effort into making this island a nice place to live, so don’t wish that it sinks, Apple! 😡

Saturday night is K.K. night, so I joined Louie, Agent S, Shari, and Midge at the plaza. K.K. performed K.K. Swing for all of us.

K.K. performs for the residents of Forest as the game credits roll.

After the show, I attended the completion ceremony for my 4th incline. I found it interesting that there were villagers standing on all three levels for the ceremony! I don’t know if Rizzo, Lopez, and Hornsby even knew what was going on! 😉

Once I was done making my rounds, I started tearing down my obstacle course. Here’s what it looked like before…

And here’s the after pic.

I just left the water areas for the moment, because I may re-use some of them. Even though I know basically what I’m doing next, I haven’t decided on the specifics. I’ll be working on that over the next few days, most likely.

  1. I don’t recall seeing a glowing spot in areas that don’t have clear space either. I haven’t seen one next to a tree or flower either.

  2. nice blog post! i’m gonna miss the obstacle course:’) one thing i’ve noticed after getting into your videos & blogs is that i really like the old look and feel of the older animal crossing games for some reason. New Horizons is really high quality for an animal crossing game, but i feel like i like the old games more¯\_(ツ)_/¯ anyways, i wanted to ask what your favorite animal crossing game at the moment is! i really like animal crossing on the gamecube and animal crossing new leaf, but unfortunately i have to emulate them so i don’t enjoy gameplay as much as i should😕 so far i’ve put almost 300 hours into New Horizons, but i still feel like i like the older games more! what do you think?

    1. Thanks! Even though I really love the old games, I have to say I’m having a blast with New Horizons too. I’m not ready to say where it ranks just yet, because there’s still a lot more I need to see. We haven’t seen most of the events yet, plus there are updates yet to come that will likely add a lot to the game.

  3. I thought that it was funny that you had more bridges than inclines while I have more inclined than bridges. Also I’ve been working on giving yards to my Villagers and making more areas on my island. Have a great day and thanks for great another post!

    1. Yeah, I left my cliffs mainly undeveloped for a long time, so I didn’t feel like I needed the inclines much. But that’s changing now. Thank you!
