    Y_A_H: Yup. It ran for 2 years and still did not grow.

    RHF: Sun Bank did grow. It was a meduim density building with 445 CS$$$ Jobs. The region has about 30,000 C jobs so it is possible to grow it.
     
    To All: Maybe another update tonight. 10.gif

    Great Update.  I really like the park with the walkways and the pond is a nice addition to that.  The road that is running through the park, does it dead end in the park or does it tunnel under the road running next to the park?

    Yeah, really great update.  I always enjoy those updates from CJ's who show a little of how they accomplish something.  It really helps to inspire me to try different things.  I really like the way the roads comes up right next to the waterfall....Nice Job...

    Awesome National Park.  Can't wait to see how it relates to the city/region... will it the park remain out in isolation, or will it become a National Park in an urban setting... perhaps it'll be part of a larger greenbelt of some sort.  The possibilites are endless and worth looking into.

    I'd love to see a zoom level-1 shot and a region view of it (which I'm sure is forthcoming).
     
    ps - I'm proud to make my first comment on your CJ... no disrespect to my other favorite, Thistlewood.

    SC4 Meister: Thanks for the compliment. I guess RLS really takes over sometimes. The park probably too one or two hours, to plan, layout, and terrafrom properly. 48.gif

    To All: Expect another Cedar Plains Update(Gosh Its been four pages non-stop Cedar Plains growth?)
     
    Well, I've been playing Cedar plains for a long time. It is currently about 180 Sim years old. Vote on this please. I'd like to hear opinions of different people.
     
    A) Continue with Cedar Plains growth, I like it.
    B) It's getting a bit boring so....start a new city.

    Looks good.  Is that poll still open by chance?  I would say start a new city even though this  one is far from boring.  Ethier way I will be happy.
