FESTERON
VILLAGE
Festeron Village filling the northern tip of Greater
Festeron island,
was founded by
Phineas T. Fester sometime before 781 GUE. A
quiet town nestled among the trees, Festeron is intensely proud of its
history, dedicating
statues and minting coins in the memory of its founding fathers and
military heroes. The white village of bulky brick buildings, like the
First Church of Festeronian Science, the
Festeron Free Public Library,
the
Festeron Police Station, the
Festeron Palace, all clustered at the
city centrum, surrounded by white clapboard houses lining the roads out
of the village, each row of dwellings blossoming outward like petals on
a bright spring flower. The epiceneter of the village, known as
Festeron Circle (or Festeron Rotary) contained a circular park complete
with fountain, and faced by stately brick homes
which obviously proclaimed that was where the big money of Festeron
lived. Heading out of town, the stately homes and municipal buildings
that clustered around Festeron Circle soon gave way to more modest
dwellings, small one- and two-story homes, recently painted white so
that the wood shone in the early afternoon sun, with shutters and doors
painted dark red, or blue, or green.
Also within the village is
the
University of Festeron, the
Pleasure Wharf (the town's most popular
tourist attraction) on the eastern edge of town extending into the bay.
The major streets include Main Street, Broadway, Festeron Blvd,
Western
Avenue, and, beyond the city limits,
River Road.
