-Notion City, July 1st 1921, Local
With relations going well with the Fae Courts, Center City Park looks to see an impressive turn out and celebration for the Fourth of July. Food and fireworks have been provided. And many are expecting quite a festival.
Today, tents are being put in place that will house vendors from all over Notion City and Faery alike. A few are already prepared, and the Informer was on hand today to sample some of the more interesting fare.
One booth contained artifacts of lost yore, the purveyors hoping to see a good turn out for their wares. They state that it would help them determine if setting up shop within the city would turn into a profitable venture. After some perusing, this reporter certainly found a few choice items. Unfortunately, purchasing doesn't begin until tomorrow. Hopefully, they'll still be around.
However, it was still the food that held the greatest interest. While Fae have only been importing in common meats and produce to keep to the palates of Notion City residents, they are now pulling out all stops with the great buffet to be held. They are now offering some of their rarer dishes to the adventurous gourmand.
Fire grilled salamander, with a fire actually started by the salamander was one of the delicacies of the Fire Court grill-meisters. It had a delicious smoked flavor, though the meat was a bit too chewy.
The Water Court offered boiled hydra tongue, a limitless dish. It came out like a spiced breast of chicken, layered and easily pulled apart. They told me it had to sit under a boil for forty eight hours to be safe to eat. Hydra is poisonous they say, truly a daring dish!
Unsurprisingly, the Earth Court pulled out their assortment of grains and vegetables. But within the farm fresh salad they made came an additional surprise. An interesting sort of mushroom, upon consumption this reporter felt himself a bit of a bigger man.
This reporter even got to try a sweet, tangy fruit fresh from the Air Court's lotus trees. Though admittedly, it ended up bringing quite a drowsy feeling and I had to find a bench to rest and take a lengthy nap.
Not all there though will require an open palate. Even a delightful blind woman had managed to set up a tent made entirely from sweets and candies, just for the kids. It's going to be a wonderful occasion for all and it begins tomorrow promptly at sunrise, with plenty of food, art and fun to captivate the whole family for hours. Hope to see you there!

Court Officials to Meet With Notion City Scientists, Improve Energy Efficiency
-Notion City, December 13th 1920, Front Page
With power outages continuing throughout the city, officials have turned to gaining further assistance from Faery. Though not familiar with the concept themselves, representatives from the Fire and Air Courts have agreed to meet with scientists and see what assistance they might be able to offer.
Many citizens are questioning the cost of our constant reliance Fae goods or knowledge. And in turn another set of scientists have splintered off from the community and taken matters into their own hands. Although reports are unconfirmed, this group has begun to push the limits and are using theories widely considered debunked by the scientific community.
Through Fae methods or our own, Notion City residents are in great need of new energy sources. With power fluctuations and coal resources running low many residents are being left without a reliable heat source as we dip into what has been called the "Coldest Winter Ever."

Mayor Addresses Notion City, Surprising Events
-Notion City, March 7th, 1920 Front Page
Mayor McCarthy took the podium outside City Hall today to alleviate the growing concerns of Notion City residents. He began his speech with a glowing compliment to the town itself for enduring the hardship that it had. "Never have I been more impressed by a city that has stood together in the face of adversity," said McCarthy. "We could have had rioting and overturned cars. But instead, the people here put their anger and frustration down with a pen. I took all that criticism to heart and immediately began to look for a way to solve our woes." He went on to state that our rough times had ended. And invited a young woman to the podium.
The woman classified herself as a representative from the world on the other side of the Fog, bringing shock from much of the onlookers. She further claimed the disappearances were caused by some strange connection of the Fog between our world and hers, people merely stumbling through this pseudo-gateway the Fog has caused. She gave no name, stating she was merely the most well respected emissary for her people.
"We're truly sorry for what has occurred here. Many of yours had disappeared, those found are being returned. I'm sorry to say that not all may be found though. Our world is a harsh and dangerous place, some of our more dangerous residents have already escaped into your world. However, as we are in a similar situation we see no reason that there cannot be a relationship between our two races. We will begin supplying this city with food in days. Our resources are abundant, and once safe we encourage visitation to our world. It is a beautiful place, as we have found yours to be. And hope soon to visit more often."
The mayor was quick to explain that negotiations had been put in place a day beforehand. And assured citizens all would be changed for the better. The press would be allowed to meet further representatives of this other world, along with the general public in the weeks to come as further negotiations between our peoples were made. The Informer tried to get a more personal comment from the Mayor but he declined to speak to us.
Other members of the City council refused to comment as well, leaving much of the press and the citizens in the dark about these new arrangements and any contracts made between the two people. Though, they did at least state that after all had been complete full disclosure would be made to the press and thus to the people.
The emissary of the, what many residents are already calling, Fae departed before the Informer could reach her for comment and no other known source for these people has been made public. However, plans have been made to send one intrepid reporter through the Fog and not only return with a statement from some governing body upon the other side, but also a look into the way of life for these people whom we now share a common situation.
