Windemere & Taschereau

"UPDATE 62: THE VOTE" Borders change. It is a fact of municipal and regional government. The Region of Windemere and its municipalities have never really had to deal with it, its borders remaining more or less the same for the past 30 years. But that at all recently changed. As the region has developed, pockets have formed, with barren grasslands separating these areas. These pockets have developed their own sense of identity, and ways of planning. This has never been a problem, up u... Go to this entry →

Update Synopsis: Today we are taking a look at a town dependent on industry as its main source of jobs. Manufacturing is a major employer, but the largest single employer in Wesfole is Orchiden Energy Production, Inc.'s massive coal power plant. At the front of cleaning up emmissions from coal power production, this power plant has grown as the Region of Taschereau and its surrounding regions continue to grow. The down is surprisingly not covered in soot from the plant, but is surpris... Go to this entry →

Update Synopsis: Today's update is something a little different. Windemere & Taschereau is focused on suburban areas, and has become known for them. In most newer suburban are "power centres", or also known as big-box malls. These are featured often in this CJ, and are usually well received. Today's update will show you the process I go through when building these big-box malls, and will give you step-by-step directions on building your own. So let's get started...... Go to this entry →

Update Synopsis: Today's update sees us continuing our voyage through the construction jungle that is Southlands. With the recent influx in investment, including the arena development shown in the last update, skyscrapers holding new residents and businesses are rising up faster than residents can keep track. Some are worried Southlands just won't be the same, others say this is progress and is shaping the future of Southlands. Which ever position you take, things are changing rap... Go to this entry →

Update Synopsis: Today's Update sees us return to the scene of update 49; a mysterious construction site in Southlands. Today we will see that that construction site has morphed into the Southlands Stadium Place, a large office, dinning, entertainment and arena complex just outside of the downtown core. The area has spurred a lot of growth in Southlands, and the construction we will see surrounding the arena place is just the tip of the iceburg. So lets go have a look as this new area....

Spring has arrived, and with that it was time for a fresh coat of paint here in Windemere & Taschereau. Only a light coat and dusting, though. The banners and font are the only things that have changed for now. Update Synopsis: Today we look at another new city in Windemere - Sparklington. Some background information: this city is not actually "new", per se. This is in fact one of my older cities from a former sand-box region which I never finished and eventually abandoned....

Kaleston has easy access to Eastburg, Wrenshaw and other various Windemere communities - leading to rapid development. The population has already surpassed that of Eastburg, reaching 91000. The Town/City is a mix of high, medium and low density dev... Go to this entry →

Update Synopsis: Today's update is a bit different than the usual fare. I am unsatisfied with the amount of development in my regions, so I am beginning to develop them greatly. These new areas will not be previewed with construction updates, but they most certainly will be later in their lives. Today I am showing you a new mega-city I am working on in Taschereau. Flynn Pointe will eventually overtake Southlands to be the largest city in Taschereau. It is still very much a work in pr... Go to this entry →
