==General==
*A part of [[Perplex City]], the Old Town is the location of [[Perplex City Academy]]
*Delineated by [[Caldera Street]], [[Restoration Lane]] and [[New Hampden Street]].
*The Old Town is featured in the [[Tour Guide]] which came with the [[Parcels]] from [[Sente Kiteway]]

==Renovation==
*Crime and rising real estate prices are becoming a serious issue.
*Many want to see the Old Town redeveloped; No-one wants to actually do it.
*Some suggest Developing other areas around the city, such as the [[Northside]].
*The general sense is that the Old Town is somehow doomed or jinxed in a way noone can quite identify.
*Past revitalization efforts have all failed, and there is no reason future endeavours will do any better.

*23-AUG-05 - Councilman [[Roy Yolen]] whimsically suggests tearing down all of Old Town.
**This poorly thought out statement raises quite a furor.
**Later apologized, saying it was "an ill-considered expression of frustration"

*12-SEP-05 - [[Raoul Valentin]] of the [[Old Town Renewal Committee]] announces [[The Lighting of the Way]] Festival in old-town
**The festival, one of typical gift giving, and observed religiously by [[Cubists]], is being chosen as the perfect time to begin a spirit of renewal in the usually drab Old Town area.

*04-MAY-06 - A flashcrowd is organized in protest of the [[Council]]'s treatment of the Old Town -- or rather, lack of treatment at all.
**[[Raoul Valentin]] decried the protests, saying that citizens were demanding "rash action rather than careful consideration of the situation." & "What good would it do to spend a billion lecks today if we spend it doing exactly the wrong thing?
**Citizens, however, say this is absurd, and the situation has been studied to death; the time has come to take action.
**The protest took place in [[Key Square]]

*05-MAY-06 - Massive explosion rocks the old town.
**See: [[Old Town Explosion]]

==Located within Old Town==
*The [[Perplex City Academy]]
*[[Subdivision]]
*[[Five of Cups]]
*[[Complications]]
*[[Locus Technology]]
*Renovated [[Montclear Court and Gardens]]
