Almost the same situation for me.
I at one time had 3 towns going not all by choice.
The glitch (harp of death locked me out of my prime town, so I started a second one,
I got far along with that when the glitch was fixed, but I couldn't abandon the prime town.
And like Donna4612 when whacking day started I made a new town-it's also is a proving ground for decorative ideas I want to try without having to mess with my other 2 towns.
(Shout out for Donna462 whom is in my prime town friend's list
-thanks for being a great neighbor-eeno!
