About This File
UNlocked now, should work fine, please re-download 
Once, a newspaper was put out here. The Oregon Journal operated from the Jackson Tower from 1912 until the end of the 1940's. Typical of the time, newspapers built grand, clocktower-topped palaces in order to out-do their rivals (who of course had their own versions too). Back in those days, the Journal was locked in a rivalry with The Oregonian, who had an equally impressive structure just a few blocks north. Unfortunately, the Oregonian Building was demolished about the same time that The Journal moved out of Jackson Tower.
The Jackson Tower was reborn as an office building and now is positioned at the advantageous corner of Yamhill Street and Broadway, adjacent to Pioneer Square and smack-dab in the middle of the shopping district. Since the 1990's it has attracted some high-end retailers to the ground floor.
As impressive as the building is during the day, you must see it at night to truly appreciate it, as thousands of lightbulbs trace the outline of the tower.
Installation Instructions:
unzip and run the installer program. Files will install to C:/...my documents/SimCity 4/Plugins/Sparkythepenguin/Jackson Tower/
(you may change the destination if you wish). You may then go through and remove undesired versions.
Stats:
Modelling and most modding: Sparkythepenguin
German-version beta testing and editing: Andreas_Roth
Spanish-version beta testing: Asturianu
Lot: 2x2 (all lots)
The growable lot should grow only as a stage 4 Chicago-style corner lot.
English/German/Spanish multilingual support:
This BAT is fully tested, translated, and capable of running in English, Spanish, and German-language versions of SC4.
No need to worry about downloading extra stuff to get it to work in English, Spanish, or German, everything needed is in the lots included. Your version of SC4 will take care of the rest. (Lots will default to English for other languages). A French version may come in the future. That is whenever I can get a refresher course on it or find people willing to translate and beta test in French.

Jackson Tower custom Query files (Needed for CO lots-Do not delete)
There are two sets of lots, a version set back 6m and another version set back 3m from the sidewalk. I was asked to make versions which would line up in W2W situations with JBSimmio's small town lots. Also, I made lots that would fit in with bigger cities.
Both 3m and 6m versions include:
Jackson Tower Model file
1 Growable CO$$ (241 CO$$ jobs)
1 Ploppable CO$$ (plop cost 50000. 241 CO$$ jobs)
1 Growable CO$$$ (182 CO$$$, then 241 CO$$ jobs)
1 Ploppable CO$$$ (plop cost 50000. 182 CO$$$, then 241 CO$$ jobs)
1 static landmark (Plop cost $50000)
NO Desc files needed thanks to some craaaaazy modding by Andreas_Roth, the mod master.
dependencies:
None!
Suggested placement:
This lot is configured for Wall-to-Wall (W2W) use, and in real life occupies a quarter corner block.
Use the 6m setback version for small towns or if you want a feeling of a wider sidewalk. It should also align well with JBSimmio's Small Town W2W BATs.
