Latest NewsUmbrella Corps Caffeine Addiction Program Sparks Zombie FearsA new program spearheaded by Umbrella Corp. has sparked a scare after the audible moans and groans could be heard from the company's premier caffeine treatment center. Haggard and unkept interlopers could also be seen wandering the grounds and surrounding streets causing traffic safety concerns. Umbrella Corp., whose reputation is somewhat marred by several similar incidents has refuted the claims satirical claims of the dead walking by stating: "Despite our reputation at times, one that is rather over blown and exaggerated, the Sol City Facility is merely engaged in low level medical research and most importantly overcoming the unhealthily promoted, yet socially acceptable chemical addiction to caffeine. There is no cause for concern."
We can confirm clearly at this time. There are no necromantic, biological warfare or necro-research being undertaken by Umbrella Corps. While the sound of moaning and groaning certainly could be confused for the undead in the morning (just ask my wife), one must give Umbrella credit for at least
attempting to overcome it's somewhat dubious reputation by providing a useful service to the city's residents.
We do hope their intentions are as stated. If not, remember to target the head, and get a pint at the Winchester. Anyone that may still be concerned, please Contact the Beaureau of Necromancy Experimentation sciences, or
BONES for assistance.

Neighbors Complain About West-Side Man Doing Yardwork NakedThank the recent upturn in temperatures, but residents in one Riverside neighborhood say they’ve got an eyesore next door: their neighbor does his yardwork and walks around his property in the buff.
“I came out Sunday night to put the trash out, and I look over and he is bent over, winding up his hose, and I’m like that is my view of the neighborhood,” said one resident.
The man’s neighbors have called SCPD several times, but officers say as long as he isn’t touching himself inappropriately, there’s nothing they can do because he’s on his own property.
“Have some respect for the neighborhood kids,” said another neighbor. “Kids catch the bus here. It’s wrong.”
Passersby say they've seen both the man and his wife speaking to police while naked.
“SCPD told me to just turn my head!” One person told us, clearly incensed at the officers' lack of empathy.
But when a reporter asked to interview the naked neighbor, the man declined, saying he wasn’t interested in speaking because he and his family are “private people.”
“If they are private, why are their privates on display?!” Yet another neighbor raged.
Perhaps the coming drop in temperatures will solve the problem, but none of the residents we spoke to appeared to be hopeful.

Sol SpillsRita here avid readers. Honestly this reporter is disappointed with this city. The drama dial has been turned WAY down. I would almost believe that all of you were on vacation. Swan Songs event was a let down compared to the last time that The Sirens were out in public. A riot in a bar. No disappointment there. The Ball game was not an edge of the seat event either. Our home team won 7-3. I expect more waves Sol City. Don't disappoint next time.
~RitaWEATHERIt's a fantastic day for the City Market festival- Partly Cloudy and cooler with more seasonal temperatures. Still slightly warmer, but you'll definitely need that jacket and long sleeves. Some rain expected for the evening, but still plenty of time to get out enjoy the day before regular temps returns for the night.
Enjoy and don't forget to pack an umbrella, or see if Umbrella Corp are giving any away!
