[hr] [centre][h2][color=f26522][b]S[/b] T A R [b]M[/b] E S S E N G E R [/color][/h2][/centre] [centre][b][color=LightSteelBlue] SOL source of News since 1895[/color] [/b][/centre] [img]https://i.stack.imgur.com/JFfqk.jpg[/img] [b]Latest News[/b] [b]Cephalopod Carnage, Inky Strikes Again[/b] [img]https://eng.uber.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Header-Kraken.jpg[/img] In a follow up to the tale of the escaped Inky raid on the angling event, it seems he has taken a liking to submarines and high heels. Experts continue to be baffled by the Cephalopod crime wave. Inky recently taunted the crew of the SCPD submarine [i]Jaws VI[/i], leaving a cloud of ink that blocked the periscope causing a collision the mayor's boat at a publicity event and dunked his PA in Old Harbour. [i]"Its a menace, the aquarium owe me for dry cleaning!"[/i] His PA was quite indignant, though experts are confused as to why, merely thinking Inky might be bored, and now has freedom to play. In a second, strange event the now, "Feared Kraken" stole a high heeled shoe from Astrid Peterson, a manager at Nakomoji Entertainment, while she was on a date by the waterside. Giving only a smile why her heel was loose, she was less hostile. [i]"I saw a perfect pair of Jimmy Choos on sale... and well Inky gave me a nudge to buy them. Can't complain too much. Thanks Inky."[/i] Acutus Salmon is in a small minority, along with sushi chef, Jonnah Whalus and David Jonesy has set it on themselves to hunt the Kraken in part to avenge his families loss of the angling tournament and formerly wet, Proctus Salmon. [i]"Its personal, we're gonna enjoy Calamari that's for sure. We held that title for 27 years, it's on Kraken!"[/i] Well, seems out Cephalopod celebrity is a divisive figure. [i]Kaiden Cod, Local News Team Star messenger[/i] [b]Run and Light-Lane Properties Targeted by Investors[/b] [img]https://66.media.tumblr.com/1127547ed964e49373a80aa3fbf3facd/tumblr_na42u3YMgH1s1rw00o5_1280.jpg[/img] Commercial properties along The Run and Light Lane continue to be a hot item for real estate investment from brokerages within and outside the city. However, what this means for Sol's local business leasing their properties within these areas still remains nebulous. With the exception of the property formerly home to Club Aether, nearly all of The Run had fallen under the umbrella of Elvin Santos Holdings before his passing. Star Messenger reached out to ESH, but our requests for comments have been repeatedly denied. It's no secret that Santos was often a proponent of preserving "Old" Sol City, though many of his critics and supporters alike would agree that he could be rather opportunistic. The rumors of a professional baseball team coming to Sol would have (and still do) made for a very lucrative property deal though the displacement of those businesses remains a sore subject for many who do not wish to see a second major sporting facility introduced to the waterfront. The mayor's office has remained cautious of taking sides throughout the entire process with the residents and business on one side of the battle and the the massive revenue injection a second major sports team on the other. Relief for the heavily-used Luna Sports Facility is also a major factor where Sol's minor league baseball team currently shares the stadium with the Icarus Angels pro-football squad. [i]Kelsey Chamblins Business Editor[/i] [b]Riverside Festival forthcoming. Application Deadline Closing In[/b] Sol City Mayor, before being rudely disrupted by Inky`s Cephalopod crime wave, was announcing the annual Riverside Festival to a hungry crowd, emphasizing the always popular SOL-Food Competition. [i]"Well Before Inky intervened, we were showcasing the finest chefs that make our city special. Everything from classic pies to the latest multi-ethnic cuisines. Anyone wanting to get involved just needs to have their application turned in by the deadline."[/i] We where told from a slightly wet PA, who was inquiring quite seriously about somewhere selling Calamari, that as always, vendors of all sizes, types and styles are welcome and the event again will be hosted in the heart of the city at Corona Park. Though not very forthcoming, the PA teased that there would be a bold, new twist to the cooking competition this year. More details on that to come. As our esteemed mayor said, inquiries can be made at City Hall or on the website. We know it will again be a rather delicious success and several large brands have tendered there interest in getting involved including Rebellion Energy Drinks, Umbrella Corps Medical Reseach, Deadalus Airlines and Star Bank.
