Here ya go...

...Central Artopolis (Messhead) at night from the far side of the Phantoma River, with the Artopolis Expressway cutting across...

Slightly off center is the tallest structure in the city, Tanglebrain Towers (a.k.a. "Pitchfork Plaza"), and houses all government functions (city offices, court system, transit, public safety, etc...) within the city, and the County of Mess, for which Artopolis is the seat of...The center of the structure serves as the power generating station for the entire mid-business district...It is said the pentacle once used to rotate, but has long stopped functioning, and is stuck in the downward position...Politics and corruption, as per-Artopolis usual - It would appear that "Hizz DISonner" (Mayor Grafft) isn't much of a "Mr. Fixit" type...

To the front is the Creep Bros. department store...Formerly known as the old Maxout's, the two brothers (Skimp and Imp) "slithered right on in", and acquired the place for a song...

To the left, is the Cursed Bank of Artopolis...with its "ghost accounts", as well as books and ledgers that are the biggest work of fiction since "Moby Dick"...

Over to the right is the Witchcraft Inn, possibly the ONLY hotel that breaks tradition with a 13th floor...Some say the whole place is haunted - figures, right?

Also to the right, is Zany Center, that features Madame Zany's Nightclub, the "hottest spot in town" on the top six floors...Rumor has it, the Mayor himself frequents the place two or three times a week...

...And then there's the home of the "Most Demented Newspaper Around" (needs no explanation - most on this site have seen many of these "front page" posts already) ...the Times Building, rising up in the background...

Artopolis...It isn't much better in the daytime, either! (LOL)
