Millstreet (sometimes referred to as Mill Street; Oceana: Mulntsys, IPA: [ˈmyʊ̯ntsʌs]) is a Lovian neighborhood of Hurbanova, Oceana, and is in fact a street with the surrounding grounds just north of Downtown Hurbanova and Drake Town. Before the neighborhood was built there were only three buildings located on the street, of which two are famous: the Hurbanova Mill and the Hurbadome.
The neighborhood is also known as the Oceana or Lovian Las Vegas.
History[]
The area of Millstreet has first been inhabited almost at the same time as Hurbanova itself. It used to lie within the fences and walls around Hurbanova which supposed to keep away wild animals. It did remain on its own, which allowed it to develop a different Oceana language dialect than Downtown Hurbanova. After the famines in the fifties and the following economic problems, Millstreet depopulated fast, from a peak 610 inhabitants in 1951 to as little as 42 inhabitants in 2006.
Projects[]
In February 2008 Oos Wes Ilava proposed to create an industrial or agrarian neighborhood here. Ben Opať liked the plans and said he would help Oos Wes with it in March, April or May that same year. Because both men didn't had any time left to work on it, interest for the plans disappeared. After a little conversation they reproposed the plans, but they were later on in May rejected by Bart Koenen. Instead of filling Millstreet, Drake Town was built.
June 2008 was a special month for the Millstreet projects. Oos Wes Ilava presented his plans for the Millstreet project to mayor Ben Opať. After a little conversation both men agreed, Hurbanova should become a popular tourist destination again. Oos Wes sent a document containing all information about the "Mill Street Project" to Ben. In that document, Oos Wes proposed to canalize the Hurbanova Stream and wanted to build a fresh water plant which could also be useful during floodings. He also proposed to build a harbor, which was rejected.

- ↑ Voting results for these elections may not be fully accurate, as some people were still registrated in Hurbanova and East Hills, due to the transition to the district system. As a result, the amount of registered voters in the hamlet is lower than the actual amount; while some votes in built-up areas are actually votes from hamlets.
