ADDITIONAL ALTUS LORE
Can't believe I freakin' forgot about this 🤦♂️Literally spent time workshopping this with @squidwen
For a city so industrial, relying on steam and using different manners of heat to build pressure might make one think soot and smoke would cling to everything.
Not So.
Not long after the city started gaining traction in its mechanization, Those On High understood pollution and general public machinery upkeep was in order. At first the task of cleaning the city and maintaining utilities was through general hiring and freelance. Those freelancers eventually began to talk, and with a task requiring one to traverse the city's rooftops -among other places- protections were needed.
So the Sweeps Guild was born.
'Sweeps' is actually not accurate. Yes, a lot of early union members were those who cleaned chimneys. But as electricity was introduced and the city grew larger, powerlines needed inspections, parks needed pruning, streets needed cleaning and so on.
A tourist might wonder how the city keeps so bright and shining, without seeing a single utility worker wandering the streets. That's because all their work is under cover of night. Spells and specialty equipment keep their work silent so as to not disturb the neighbors. But by dawn, their work is finished and they are allowed to retreat like the stars against the morning's rise.
It's a rare chance to catch a glimpse of a Sweep. A stroke of luck, you might say. To catch sight of one at the end of their day just as yours begins is supposedly a foretelling of good luck.
A Sweep is as Lucky as Lucky can be

It's been 10 years passed since Disney's Saving Mr. Banks came out in December-13-2013 and let me tell ya: it was pretty good and it's based on the true story of both Pamela Lyndon Travers and Walt Disney's long process in making Mary Poppins 1964 movie. Emma Thompson is portrayed as Pamela Lyndon Travers and Tom Hanks is portrayed as Walt Disney in the movie version.

Monday's classic musical is Mary Poppins!

Mary Poppins Paramount's Summer Classic Films Series
There is nothing so wonderful as embracing an old friend that you have not seen for years, and discovering all over again, why you loved them in the first place. There were two screenings at the Paramount Theater yesterday, and no it was not a double feature. In the evening we were seeing “The Road Warrior” but first up, we went downtown early so we could enjoy “Mary Poppins” on the big screen.…
