Intro (Ash City)(The Cities Series) Welcome to Ash City, the most neglected city of the five cities in the country of Amari. Its polluted, litter everywhere, factories placed near homes so most people that live near it have asthma. Ash City, the place where in the past the government had placed many help houses in decent neighborhoods which turned it bad due to criminal activity as most help houses have many addicts and criminals in them. In the past land lords and building owners were so corrupt that hey would burn the apartment buildings down just to collect the insurance money which displaced many Ash citizens and gave Ash City its name making Ash a barren place to live at one point...but hey its not all bad. The people of Ash have gathered together to fight for better living conditions. They protest and made petitions for better housing and living conditions. They came together and made community gardens in their neighborhoods to help feed people who cant afford to eat and to improve the air quality with parks. Many of Amari's artist are from Ash City. Many potters, sculptors, traditional artistist, designers, musicians and dancers come from Ash City. Over the years it has slowly improved as more citizens gotten access to the internet, they show cased to the world the living conditions of Ash. This has forced the government to make improvements and offer better housing and more accessible medical care.
