Halfway to NeitherNor

ACNL tree planting: Zelv became mayor of Halfway on June 11th, 2013.

My first Animal Crossing was New Leaf. I played it regularly from 2013-2015 in a town I called Halfway. My native fruit were pears and I had one villager that I kept from day one, Vladimir, that I’ve been trying to find in New Horizons. I was able to find Sydney, my other longstanding villager, and planted a pear tree in her yard in honor of Halfway.

Two things I especially miss from ACNL are the squeaky hammer and the Tortimer Island tours.

Zelv and Vladimir sit at the counter of Brewster's cafe.

I downloaded New Horizons on release day in 2020 and moved onto an island I called NeitherNor. I had to tell my roommates to leave me some material because Some Of Us Are Trying To Build A Store and they hit all the rocks while I was at work. We had a grand time running around together and seeing how the others decorated their houses.

They stopped playing eventually, but not me. I restarted my island at one point, but got unreasonably annoyed at the fact I now had a green airport instead of a blue one. At the beginning of 2023 I decided, armed with knowledge, to recreate NeitherNor, but with a plan this time. Sort of. I’m still winging it a bit.
