Summerside
Summerside is a newly-formed city in the province of Prince
Edward Island, which of course is in Canada .
When Fruvous was born, Summerside was a tiny town of only 6000 or so people
and a bunch of pets. But since then, Summerside has grown and grown, and
recently has grown big enough to become carnivorous and begin eating up
the surrounding areas of Wilmot and St. Eleanors. This amoeba-like enveloping
of the surrounding areas, incidentally, is what made Summerside a city
instead of a mere town.
Summerside's main claim to fame lately is hosting all kinds of regional,
national, and international sports tournaments, including the International
Men's Softball Tournament.
Summerside, despite its small size (even after swallowing up whole St.
Eleanors and Wilmot, it boasts only 12000 souls), is the second-largest
community on Prince Edward Island, the largest being
Charlottetown which is also the capital of the province and the location
of the University of Prince Edward Island .
Another interesting fact about the city of Summerside is that it is built
on a very narrow part of Prince Edward Island . In
fact, there's a spot where one can look one way, and see the North Coast
of Prince Edward Island, and look the opposite way
and see the South Coast. This presumably accounts for some of Summerside's
success, because if you want to get from the parts of Prince
Edward Island west of Summerside to the parts east of it (and vice
versa) you have to travel through Summerside to do it.
