Pleasant Ridge

Located just thirty minutes east of Karate City, it is a quiet logging community.

History
Settled in the late 1800's by a disgruntled resident of Karate City's founders, it quickly came to prominance due to the wealth of lumber being harvested in the local hillsides. After a mysterious accident at the Happy Hatchet Logging Camp in the 1950s, the city has fallen upon hard economic times. To add to these problems, there has been some mysterious dissapearances of several citizens of the town over the years.

Dissapearances
Pleasant Ridge has had a rash of unsolved dissapearances over the past few decades, notably high school newpaper reporter Cynthia Carter (1980), Raymond Chen (2013), Barbara Boswell (2013), and Benny the Goat (1994).

"America's Most Boring Town"
The small town was voted "America's Most Boring Town" by Town Enthusiast Digest in 2004, barely nudging out Baltimore in the final voting.

Baltimore responded by these alligations by posting a billboard downtown that simply says, "Screw You, Pleasant Ridge."

Present
The town is relatively secluded from the rest of the world, lacking in most modern technological amenities. There is no cell phone service by any carriers and the concept of the "Internet" only confuses locals.
