Massive Cave In Sinks Cranberry Mall

A campaign has begun to overthrow the Elk Empire through massive operations never before seen. As Venango County troops march toward Franklin heavily armed with spitballs and muffin hand grenades, Jefferson County's military is taking combat beneath the Earth.

An elite force known as Tunnel Hogs have been working tirelessly in a top secret campaign to cave in the entirety of Cranberry. This came after Elk County successfully reduced Venango to the size of Oil City. With Mayor Phil of Punxsutawney trapped in the borders of Oil City along with the mayor of Clarion, difficult decisions are now being made to liberate the recently lost territories.

At around 7:22 PM Thursday, Mayor Phil gave an executive order for his military generals to collapse a series of tunnels they created beneath Cranberry. The cave in was intended swallow all remaining Elk, who up to this point, have stampeded all carrot wielding Jefferson troops.

Unfortunately, the campaign was not a success. Although the warfare method managed to rid Venango of its greatest eyesore, the two Elk military members stationed in Cranberry were across the street at Walmart looking for a positive atmosphere.

They feel much happier now

Meanwhile, Cranberry now has an underground mall for a unique shopping experience. Vendors are welcome to contact mall executives to rent their space in the new pedestrian network, featuring extra dark store space, and a theater that is probably full of water damage.

The war is not over, but the Mall is finally a myth in the Fictional Universe. Reserve your space now and sell to absolutely nobody.
