No way of knowing, where we'll be going, our adventures never end.

Some ponies grow fruits, vegetables, or even rocks. Frisco grows buildings. Not literally, of course. She's the leading pony engineer of the era.

I still like the song We Built This City. I don't care what anyone says.

Right there with ya. Even though I wasn't around in the eighties it's the music I grew up with thanks to my parents. Also now I want a ponified version of the song. Someone get on that

If I go down there, am I going to see my perfectly good ‘x’ still on the ground, completely untouched?”

“Maybe?”

See, an experienced worker would have said, "I'll go check" and got the heck out of there.

ON ROCK AND RoooOOOLL

Would it be realistic for a human city like NYC to have a "Little Equestria" district?

As a herding species, would ponies want to live in a pony-dominant neighborhood?

Possible gentrification jokes (pony-fication???) where ponies on Earth buy property in rundown neighborhoods and convert it into a little slice of home.

Bonus points if a Pegasus cloud city ends up drifting around the World. That would cause a huge amount of headaches for zoning and residency, especially if it crosses international borders.

As they say best laid plans

:rainbowhuh: Do Pegasus cities control where they are or just go where the wind takes them? Could be funny to have a whole city move to if another state/county offers them a better deal.

P.S.
Ooh, imagine how magical zeppelins would change Earth's tourist industry, allowing cruise ships to fly to landlocked locations. Inhospitable* or out-of-the-way attractions can now be reached in comfort.

*Off-the-grid with no hotels, AC, paved roads, or running water.

We built this city on Rock and Roll!

And possibly having certain people complaining about ponies taking jobs, land space, etc. 🙄

Yeah I can definitely see ponies being a little nervous about being amongst non-pony neighbors. They are fine in small-scale contact, but living long-term might be a bit too much for all but the most outgoing of ponies.

Good story!
I enjoyed reading it.

I would also upvote it, but rating the story had been disabled for some reason...

If you don't follow instructions, be ready to be told to follow instructions

Finally got to this! And enjoyed it. Thanks for writing. :)

Growth should be organic. It’s why I’ve already planned the locations of each of the suburbs.

Ponies have a somewhat different definition of "organic" than humans do. :twilightsmile:
