In the games we had here, the Winter of '56 was outright horrific, but that
was due to some other events.

Here's a strange thought that *I* would personally like to see expanded upon.
The CZ is official "open" again ... but we know that a lot of things are
probably still either lurking or worse, sleeping, through all of this. What
kind of "renovations" have you made in your games? In ours, the John Hancock
building was reclaimed by the Hancock Financial Network, and has been in the
process of refurbishing/renovating the tower, as well as rebuilding the upper
floors (the ones that were destroyed by the Navy when the wasp nest was found
there).

entertaining story none-the-less)

Just turned 2058 IMC, so still waiting for it to be opened up. I like
the idea of Hancock being a centre of operations of one sort or
another...
