Hi guys... Bryan expressed his interest in creating a directory of all the locations established in Hensonville. Well, in an effort to help him, (and me too of course), I'm posting the list of places to visit in town. Keep in mind that this is by no means taxatively exhaustive, there's always room for more stores and shops and restaurants and frogs and dogs and bears and pigs and chickens and whatevers... That's what this place was missing!
What we mainly need is help in placing each of the following, as if we were planning out the town's entire layout with street addresses for each and everything. Please contact either Bryan or myself if you have any questions or comments to add. Thanks.

Muppet Central Dorms, 1 Chapman Court.
Bat Bolt & Skull Toy Shop, 9 Henson Street (run by Ed "The Count").
The (Benny Vanderghast Memorial) Muppet Theater, 10 Central Hunt Street.

Good gracious, that's a lot of places. I forgot, was I the one who started this entire...thing? I mean, with my novel and stuff. I'm kinda tired right now, and just this is wow...

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, Ed; but I believe I started/created these places/areas, didn't I? (With the exception of the last one at least)

-- Jim's Coffee House, 11 Henson Street (run by Christy, overseen by Jim).
Rainbow Memories Cemetary, 1990 Maury Street.
-- Grosse Manor.
-- Hensonville Hooper's Store.
-- The Hensonville Observer: includes Hensonville Observer, Daily Chronicle, and Daily Inspector newspapers, (where Erin works)
-- Nancy Takashi's Home/The Nursery/Kermit and Piggy's Wedding Home.

And I forgot, this is just for my own memory: Did I create this place while in the dorms? (With the second part, the Studios being formatted by Ru in "Kermie's Girl".)

-- Rainbow Connections Moviehouse, run by Rainbow Connections Studios.

Oh hi sis... Um... *Tries to placate her current mood.
Well... The shops run by certain people, friends of the forum, were made known as the owners of those locals in various fanfics you may find in the Three Candles library or the dorms' reading room.
BTW: The library's run by the three candle sisters, Kim (Skeeter Muppet), Sara and Lisa "Toga".

There is a museum... An art museum known as the Mallory Gallery... But it's a museum. They even displayed the famed Tablet of Akmenra, but that was on loan and had to be returned to its original home back at the um... What didyou say your museum's name was?
*Offers choc brownie with nutty PB spread to win Claudia over.

And like I said, there's always room for more places to be added. If you want to be in charge of your own shop or work somewhere with an employer, LMK and we'll see where your talents would be best appreciated.

Ziffled by my li'l cousin.

Hi Sara... Lemme see how best to answer your questions.
Jim's Coffee Shop and Grosse Manor are from Erin's A Little Knight Music.
Rainbow Memories Cemetary was from your Sadie's Stories and so was Nancy Takashi's House.
Rainbow Connections Moviehouse was first aluded to in the dorms as where you had a second job besides the library... But I changed it to be run by Rainbow Connections Studios (a reference to Aunt Ru's Kermie's Girl) in an effort to alleviate you of some stress.

As for the Hensonville Observer, yes, I believe you started that one by stating that was where Sadie worked in Book 4. But it expanded to include the other newspapers, references to the actual newspapers from TGMC and MFS.
Hensonville's Hooper Store made it's first appearance in my own One Little Star if I think correctly.

And yes, I believe that you and I first started working on the initial layout plans... But again, in an effort to relieve you of some stress, I was attempting to plot it out on my lonesome in my own fic Hensonville Histories though that one's stalled.

Hope this answers everything... If you want to help, all we need at this time is to assign each establishment's address. Take care, *hugs.

Luckily I'm going to have a week off, (I believe) between this fast food job, and my new job as a Janitor at the airport; so I might be able to help you with some of that, Ed.

Aw... Is sokay Sara... If you can, then great. If not, well, you know we still send you hugs anyway.
Care for some of these brownies? You know, I don't rully like Reeses. But this combination of chocolate and peanut butter I rully love.
Oh, that reminds me, have to get some more stock from Penny Candyman's for tonight's movie fest at the dorms.

*Hugs to my li'l cousin, and cyber-sister.

Hi Ed. I'm afraid you forgot one, the Everybody Sleeps bedding store, mentioned by Kathy in the dorms. Also, I have a few knitpicks/questions for you.

Maybe I'm wrong, but wasn't Rainbow Memories first mentioned by Lisa in Flippersteps?
I believe Bryan was hired as manager of the Hensonville branch of Hooper's Store.
Do any of the people in Hensonville that you've mentioned, who are not involved in fanfiction or enrolled in the dorms, know of their new positions?

I'll give more of my thoughts later, so as not to make this post too long.
:smile:

Well... To answer your concerns Kate...
Everybody Sleeps Bedding Store? Never heard of it before.
Rainbow Memories Cemetary... Lisa's Flippersteps? Maybe, not exactly sure. My recollections are that the cemetary was seen first in Sadie's Stories, then named in the previous town tour thread, and possibly used by Lisa after that.
Yes, Bryan does run the town's Hooper's Store. Doesn't it say so? *Looks. Guess not, will fix that next.
Yes, everybody name knows of the job/establishment they run. Everyone contacted me when I was reaching out, gathering them for my fic Hensonville Histories, which I'm not sure will be finished any time soonish.

Hope this helps, LMK if you have any other questions.
