Eine Zeichnung vom Sonntag, diesmal die alten Speicher im Magdeburger Industriehafen. Das rostige Gebilde, das im Vordergrund den Blick auf das Gebäude versperrt, ist das vergammelte Heck des Kettenschleppdampfers "Gustav Zeuner", der rechts daneben an Land aufgebockt zur Besichtigung bereitsteht.

Das Runde ist in diesem Fall nicht im, sondern vor dem Eckigen, und ich bin im Nachhinein sehr glücklich mit meiner Entscheidung, das den Blick verstellende Objekt nicht einfach wegignoriert zu haben. Ohne wäre das Bild um einiges langweiliger geworden!

"TURNING BASIN AND CANAL COMPLETED," Toronto World. December 11, 1918. Page 5. --- Nothing official has been received from the department of public works at Ottawa regarding the continuation of the work on the Ashbridge Bay harbor by the Toronto office. The work on the ship canal and turning basin in the Toronto industrial harbor district was practically completed, yesterday. The diking improvements which have been under construction for the last four years are acknowledged by all prominent construction men to be one of the finest pieces of harbor work to be found in North America, in this district is situated the British Forgings and other plants of like calibre. It will undoubtedly develop into one of Toronto's foremost manufacturing districts.

For 900 feet the ship canal extends) into the heart of the district. This canal is 100 feet wide and 24 feet deep, and will accommodate the largest ships now on the great lakes. Turning Basin. At the end of the ship canal is a turning basin of modern type, 1100 feet square. Channel 900 feet long by 100 feet wide provides for the overflow of water from the basin. Along the canal and the waterfront are constructed concrete marginal walls, together with four thousand feet. of crib-work superstructure. Between five and six hundred men have been employed on this work by the contractors, the Canadian Stewart Company. It is estimated that the cost will reach $3.000,000, but that the urgently needed improvements will undoubtedly prove their value to the shipping interests in the next few years. It is believed that the city and government co-operating, intend undertaking more extensive harbor improvements during the year 1919.

I was going for 'postcard that the Donquixote Family very generously sends to potential business partners in the shitty little town they chose to reside in, so the people will know what their ruler / local mafia boss pirate looks like'

Nah but, I fell for a fictional town that gets almost no screen time at all. I just love that Doflamingo picked a literal garbage dump as his base of operations, sticking his Family into this fortress-looking waste processing plant, allegedly taking in like 100 hopeful but ultimately useless kids as mobster pirate apprentices and then losing all of them because his weirdo brother beat them and threw them in the trash until they ran off crying. What an era.

The landscape of scrap heaps, smoke stacks, industrial brick buildings and the name all speak to my imagination. It's like, Machinarium and Peaky Blinders meets Law's Little Nightmares-esque experience of being a tiny kid in a big hat amongst HUGE monster men. Just very into the Spider Miles vibes and the potential of that place aesthetically.

I also want to know if Doflamingo could use the constant chimney smoke and smog to create sky paths. Just create spiderwebs in the sky all over town and take a little walk.

What are the general thoughts on GRIH in terms of their relationship with Wild Pines? We know that terminals are organized by letter (Terminal B being where the game takes place and Terminal H being around where Precinct 57 is), but are we to assume that all of GRIH is Wild Pines or just a few of the terminals?

Wild Pines has 22 active terminals and ships 8% of the world's global shipping, and the wiki says that GRIH ships 8%, too, which means that it'd be likely that GRIH is 100% Wild Pines. But the Wiki has been wrong before and there aren't any sources provided to corroborate that.

I'm not sure if all of the GRIH terminals are 100% Wild Pines, basically. If it isn't, then I imagine that the non-Wild Pines terminals are for other companies like FALN. If it is, that'd indicate that GRIH's terminals range from A-V and that all 72,000 workers are in GRIH rather than worldwide.
