The Aprigo Valley looks great. I love all the little farming communities, can't wait to see more agricultural eye-candy.

    Finally, after quite a long absense, we return. To the enormous, sweeping, yet still incomplete mega-metropolis of Port City. Today we'll check out what's changed on the significantly smaller eastern coast.

     Furthest south are the rather dull, concrete shores of Gray River, the 'eastern' downtown, a smaller scale of the west.

    An extremely crowded, overused avenue runs up north-south along the coastline. Not reccomended for swimming.

    Homes and the railroad near an empty flood pond.

    Residential and school zone

    Across the Centre Bridge is the jutting isle that connects to the other side, at Metro. Made mostly for the rich businessmen in the city to stay with their boats between the commerce lines.

    Next up the river is Northbridge. The early settlement, now known as Old Port City, stood here, and much of it remains at the cove and harbor area. The entire downtown area has been saved.

    A much more modern housing area, away from the water

    East of the strict city limits is a large ridge hill, where civilization ends. Virtually nothing is on the other sides of the hill, and many locals consider this middle zone to be haunted.

    Farms on the outskirts, near the tracks

    A view of most of the city, with a good shot of the unique geography. The bridge was built only last year

    Up the coast, at the end of the city, is the East Bank area. This is where the river begins to make its enormous turn.

    The cape of the city
     
    <ahttp://gallery.otakumedia.com/images/gallery/album616/E2.jpg align=baseline>
     
    I can't remember what this is called, though I see it every day. Short branches of water, mad made to cut into bayfront communties. What are they called, if they have a name?

    The northern area, near the point

    Well, that's all for this incredibly undescriptive journal edition. Hopefully soon we'll be able to tackle the enormous monster, the jewel of downtown Port City - Metro.

    Today - Where to? The coastal break of Sand Point!

    Port City - pop. 14,700,000/715,000
            Sand Point - pop. 6,700
     
    The beautiful southern suburb of Port City. Located beneath the Kite Mountain trio and down the coast from Waterbry. The city itself is nothing to write home about; the dominating lighthouse beneath the city, however, is one of the most historic and scenic locations in the region. Designed by famed architect P.E. Gasus over 140 years ago, it stands strong today as a beacon of the river delta. A view:
