~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karakura’s Growth Throughout the years, we’ve seen Karakura change in many different ways, whether that is new people joining our community, new stores and housing, the forest growing, or new species joining it. Karakura has it own way of expressing itself. Even the layout of the city has changed with it over the years, things have been removed and then added back. With this growth, we welcome back 11/7 and the family store. Then there are the newer things such as the Town Hall, the Fair Grounds, and the Power Plant. Everything keeps moving, and everything keeps growing. Some of the greatest memories...

Jim Kaede Yasushi - January 26, 2023. - -0.7 C | 30.7 F A spike in crime is no new event to the island of Karakura, however its always good to bring public attention to it for safety reasons along with the factor of general knowledge. Recently, the spike that’ll be focused on today will be in the commonly conversed area of the Karakura subway stations. Between late december up to now, the most common issue being brought up and reported is Assaults. But why? Assaults happen everywhere, but why is the subway now a hot spot? Its as simple as this; CTTV isnt checked unless something happened .. but who is the one going to report something happening? Chances are - no one. No one tends to hang out in the subway either...

Jim Kaede Yasushi - December 31, 2022. - 4.7 C | 40.4 F The most common form of employee exploitation in nearly any industry is underpayment. It can be argued that this is an issue all around Karakura, especially by how oddly each job's paycheck varies drastically. Underpayment of employees impacts the morale of the workforce, which then leads to a decline in employee’s performances. When demotivated to work, or over stressed to work in order to get paid the amount they can be, their performances are affected,, and productivity declines quickly. This is allegedly the case with La Casa workers, according to eye witness and first hand testimony. This month, I was approached by a La Casa worker who wishes to stay anonymous...
