The City of the Future
Ponca City, We Love You writes "One century ago, many Americans still had not seen a movie or ridden in an automobile. The New York World greeted its readers on January 1, 1908 with a stirring rumination about the past and future of America: 'We may have gyroscopic trains as broad as houses swinging at 200 miles an hour up steep grades and around dizzying curves,' the newspaper said. 'We may have aeroplanes winging the once inconquerable air. The tides that ebb and flow to waste may take the place of our spent coal and flash their strength by wire to every point of need.' Today the NY Times asked ten knowledgeable New Yorkers to imagine New York City a century from today. Their visions include archaeological excavations at the Fresh Kills landfill, the waterfront at Third Avenue and Seventh Avenue, a dome over Central Park, and a virtual reality grid superimposed over the city."

As you may have heard, we here at Drunkard Town love the
environment.
In addition to our exclusive use of wholesome organically grown grains in all of our alcohol products, and the many
strains of certified organic* marijuana we grow, we are embarking on the construction of the world's first public transportation system constructed and powered entirely by
renewable resources*. We care for the future of the planet and the future of tourist dollar earning possibility and
with your help and tourist dollars, we can show the rest of the world A) how to party, and B) how to build a public transpotation system out of renewable resources.
Phase 1 is the Drunkard Town wide construction of mud hut donkey**
cart stations where you, the valued Drunkard Town tourist dollar
spender, can hitch up a cart and proceed directly to your chosen bar, weed bar, restaurant the serves alcohol and
weed, hooker joint, or blackjack table.
Phase 2 has not yet been though through but it will probably involve hovercars or something cool like that. You'll
only know if you come visit Drunkard Town.
* renewability status determined by our marketing department
** mules, camels, asses, and Chinese slaves may also be involved if we can get any
