More news!

Lemon Creek's population is swelling lately! Away from the main part of town, residents have been wondering what was being built. A large (well, large for Lemon Creek!) modern influenced house sprung up and no one moved in for over a week. We finally got to meet our new arrivals, the Crow Family! Ryen and Eve Crow have been married for a few simyears and said that they moved here to get away.
"Ryen has been so stressed lately. Hopefully a beautiful, quieter place will help him a little," Eve told us. Ryen didn't want to speak with us at all. Eve shrugged and said, "He's pretty shy."

Let's give yet another new family a warm welcome!

Meet our newest residents!


Asher and Elena Meridian moved into a two bedroom home down the road from Abbott Farms. Asher is currently working as a piano tuner and makes extra money playing gigs, and his 14 year old sister is actively searching for a job as well as going to school and learning to play music.

"We are super into music," Elena said. "It's gotten us through some pretty hard stuff, and I hope that it will take Asher far."

It is rumored that they moved to a quieter town to get away from the publicity of their father's mysterious death. When asked, Asher responded, "Uh, I really don't want to talk about that."

Well, welcome to Lemon Creek, Asher and Elena. We hope you'll love it here.

Romance at the Sour Lemon!


Xavier Silverstein christened the newest Lemon Creek restaurant The Sour Lemon and it turned quite a profit on it's first day! Virtually everyone showed up to try out the newest place to eat, including Claire Abbott. Xavier and Claire arrived together, along with Claire's new adopted baby, Krista.

This turned a few heads on its own, because Xavier has been dating Abbey Grimm for a few simyears, now. No word on how Abbey feels about this.

Despite this, the happy couple enjoyed their time together, and Xavier cooked their lunch. Xavier and Claire were inseparable on this sunny afternoon.

Inter-hood adoption!

We are so thrilled to announce that the first inter-hood adoption out of Lemon Creek has been finalized! Mia Grimm, an infant at the Lemon Creek Orphanage, will be adopted the day she transitions into a toddler. 
Parker Tate, prospective Mayor for Ashby Falls has moved the Rivera family with his effort to become a parent again. His rocky past was taken into account, but it was determined that Parker is a changed man and any child would be proud to call him Dad.

This is a picture of the nursery Mia will be living in, provided by Parker Tate. She will have much more space than was available at the Orphanage. (Thanks to Ashby Falls for the picture!)


This just goes to show the great things that two hoods working together can accomplish. We can't thank Parker Tate and the rest of Ashby Falls enough!

Love is theraputic

Nadine Grimm has begun seeing a psychiatrist in Miners Hollow. After only two sessions, Nadine has begun to take responsibility for her actions.

Her therapist, Erika Wilson, told us as much as she legally could. "Ms. Grimm had a huge breakthrough where 
her kids are concerned, and we hope she's going to keep improving. The best way to support her in this is to give her privacy and a lot of love."


Nadine is getting a TON of love, alright.

 Part of her therapy program involves a group session, where Nadine met Cain Pruett. 

Blond, tall, and athletic, rumor has it that Cain is being treated for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder from his time spent in the army.

The two hit it off right away, discussing their past, their journey to mental health, and their interests. It wasn't long before the pair got close.

Could this spell happiness, finally, for Nadine Grimm?

First adoption in Lemon Creek!


Marc Rivera called today to say he had wonderful news and needed a reporter right away.

Lemon Creek Orphanage's first adoption was finalized and we were there to see it all. Krista Grimm is one of four infants at the orphanage, and has been adopted by Claire Abbott.

Lupe Rivera scooped Krista up in her arms and moved in, temporarily, to the Abbott household. She taught the Abbott's all about the baby's needs, schedule, and personality.


Claire Abbott tearfully told us that she was thrilled to be able to be a mother, and that she was going to give Krista a simple, enjoyable life.

Lupe Rivera carefully passed Krista to her new mother in the nursery at Abbott Farms.

"We're going to miss Krista, but I'm sure we will see her often. We live just right down the road!" Lupe said. "I'm confident Claire will make a wonderful parent. There's plenty of room for her to run around and learn and grow. I can't wait to see what kind of a girl she becomes."

The infants, Krista included, will have their toddler transition in a few days.

The Grimm's are forced to move


The home that Nadine and Abbey Grimm were born and raised in has been sold. The girls are in the process of moving everything into a trailer home at the edge of town.

"I'm the only one able to work, and you don't make much money waiting tables. I made enough money by selling the house and moving to a much smaller, and cheaper, place to quit my job for a while, relax, and work on writing my novel. I'm also able to afford a therapist in Miners Hollow, the closest city to Lemon Creek."

Abbey has promised to keep us updated on how her sister's therapy goes.

"To an extent. My sister has a right to privacy, but since it's a matter of public safety, I'll keep in touch."
