The Northwestern Shopping District is a defunct project on the world Husky of the 4th survival of the Dogcraft Server. It was one of the early trade hubs of the world, before the server Mall opened. Other similiar trade hubs also existed, such as the Oasis Department Store. During it's use, it was also known under the name "Domino's Plots". The district was located on plains island north east of spawn, close to the city of Gaia. It was founded and operated by Domino_1.
About
The area was comprised of multiple 10x10 plots of grass blocks, with 3 block wide stone based roads dividing them from each other. Plots cost 2000 Dogcraft Dollars and were a one time permenant purchase. The owners were free to construct their own shops with the limitations of keeping their buildings within their own plots and not going deeper then 15 blocks. The entire district was sorrounded by oak fences.
A "central plot" was located in what was initially the center of the area, altough by the final extension, it had become the northern half of the district. This plot included signs with information and guidelines for purchasing and maintaining a plot, and nether portals connecting to the NTN. A public home named "Shop" was also set there. That home has since been removed, but a newer one, under the name /phome Domino's Former Shopping District can still be used to get to the area.
History
The shopping district was founded by Domino_1 during the first week of Survival 4, before the Beagle world opened. At that point, the official Mall was not yet completed, and would not be for several months. These plots were never meant to function past the mall opening, instead their purpose was to temporarily provide a place for commerce on the server. The first plot was purchased by 
Alwaysin7, before the project was opened.
Initially, less then 11 plots were built before the "opening" of the district, which throughout its use was continously expanded. At the time of its closing, the project included 46 plots, most of which had been sold at least once.
The shopping area opened on the 4th April, 2020, and had been active until the opening of the Survival 4 mall, on the 20th May, altough its closing wasn't announced until the 12th of August to give plot owners time to move to the new mall. Requests to purchase new plots between May 20th and August were turned away.
