The Strudels Arrive
October 8th, 2004
The taxi from Sim City dropped the Strudels off at their new house before the movers had even arrived. Art whipped out his cell phone and called the moving company just as the van pulled onto the lot. The movers apologized profusely and unpacked as quickly as they could. As they toiled, Art and Andi tried to keep the girls entertained.
Meet the Strudels
October 7th, 2004
Andi Strudel, a teacher in the public school system of Sim City, was offered a job as a scientist in Pleasantview. She talked it over with her husband Art and they decided that it would not only be a smart move for her career but it would give him an excuse to quit his high-stress job as business manager at the mental health center. It will take a lot of studying on her part to get her up to speed on the research at the lab, but Andi's looking forward to the challenge. She'll be starting her new job as soon as Kim is of school-age.
First Day in Pleasantview
October 6th, 2004
Moving day had finally arrived. After a long taxi ride from Sim City, the Hillocks arrived at their new home in Pleasantview just as the movers finished their job. John was worried that he might have to go to school but Josh said that the school didn't know where they were. "Really?" said John. "Let's never tell them that we're here then." Dave just laughed and said that the bus would arrive tomorrow morning just like it had in Sim City.

Dave hated his job in Sim City. After talking it over with Joyce, Dave decided to quit his job and follow a dream that he's held since he was in high school. Now that he's moved his family to the peaceful town of Pleasantville, Dave will do whatever it takes to realize his dream of becoming a professional athlete with the Llama All-Stars. He also looks forward to meeting his new neighbors and to becoming involved in the community.
