So I paid off my initial loan on my 2nd day, and am now waiting for an expansion tomorrow and to pay off the new 98k loan.
I'm also trying to improve my Mayor popularity rating so I can get the Construction Certificate, or whatever it's called.
What's the quickest way about that?
Also, I've donated 49 items to the Museum so far (no art, where do I get those?) and have had the old mayor invite me to his island, which I can visit tomorrow.
