Founders Beach is one of the main trading posts of the city considering its location right on the coast of Lake Hullabaloo. But Founders Beach also has some of the more pristine beaches around Blendini City. The name of the neighborhood comes from honoring the many individuals who came together to start the city all of those years ago in the year 2073 (this scene takes place in the year 2150).

One of my favorite places to go to is The Phoenix…

One of the larger indoor farmers markets and resource exchanges in the city. The resource exchange itself is an economic pillar of Blendini City: a place where people can sell and even barter different goods with each other. Bartering plays well into the city’s economy when appropriate!

The Hall Of Simple Machine Parts is also valuable to builders of simple machines. Lots of simple machines help citizens in their daily lives. Blendini is a city that mixes old technology and new technology. We don’t throw out the old just because of the new!

Founders’ Beach is also home to Carlo’s Pizza, which after thriving in Atlanta for many years decided to open up a new spot in Blendini City as one of its founding restaurants. People love to eat pizza and walk the boardwalks.

Like the other Blendini neighborhoods on the coast, there is a distinct maritime economy here that has kept Founders’ Beach very active for the past 80 years.

The Maritime Supply Co. that you can see in this scene is just a slice of the maritime economy that exists at Foundes’ Beach. Similar to Port Olivia, Founders’ Beach’s strength is that its waterfront is very diversified in its uses. There’s recreation but also industry. It’s a careful balance that is difficult to achieve and it requires a lot of cooperation and some city intervention to keep the beaches clean while the maritime industry hums along.

The beach attracts all kinds of buildings and people alike. I love it here, through all of the neighborhood’s history. We’ve been here since 2099, and I’ve seen a lot. The neighborhood has had its ups and downs, but it’s always had a strong foundation of community, its beach that is kept clean, and its maritime industry that has never really gone away, unlike the nearby Jaggers neighborhood. I think there’s a mutual feeling of stewardship in this neighborhood.
