March 26, 2008

From an article in the second issue of The Gotham Times, Maidenavenuereport.com was found. As reported in the article, the site was a tabloid news site maintained by high schooler Zeke Dalwinter. He gathered news from various sources, and his site became a popular source of information and gossip for everyone in Gotham. Links on this page were added by the GPD to facilitate our investigation.
