    Hey KOSC, really like the new banners...44.gif

    I really like the way old town has come along.16.gif  The buildings look great, but I like to see the small details that enhance a pic.  In this case, it's the palms and other greenery between the buildings, nice touch.

    I really like what you are doing with the freeway.  Especially the way it just seems to snuggle right up next to Old town.

    Wow, you destroyed you downtown.[:0].....What will we get to see in it's place42.gif
     
    Wow, those buildings are huge29.gif....You weren't lying when you said you were gonna go big....

    Great Update...

    This is one meticulously planned city 19.gif with all its amazing parks, its transportation network and attention to detail. I don't know how you can have the patience to pull off such beautiful cities 3.gif. NAM really does perk up a city's transportation network.

    UPDATE 26
    Scenic Downtown, and Highway Build
     
    26.01 First, we are looking at the the new Broadway.
     
    GCNewOldTown.JPG
     
    26.02 A new elevated road park was built for a easy and fun ride between Broadway, and Westminister Blvd.
     
    GCElevatedPark2.JPG
     
    26.03 A rather large new Highway, the I-148, is being built for unknown purposes.
     
    GCBuildingThehighway118.JPG
     
    26.04 After proper digging, we get this.
     
    GCAfterdigging.JPG
     
    26.05 Eventually an embankment was built.
     
    GCHighwayenterEmbankment.JPG
     
    26.06 At first, bulldozing of Larus and Berkner Bank. Then, a new commercial district.
     
    GCDominionPlaza.JPG
     
    26.07 Thom Yorke's new office, Dominion Tower, is the state of the art office in Goldenrod City.

    The addition of the highway is great....

    I really like what you did there in 26.02.  The elevated road park is a cool idea, but I like how you ran the avenue underneath it.
     
    Great Update

    Ok, today i'm a bit happy as I finally got my school Project done! Yay! Don't worry if I over respond to your posts, I'm just a bit overreactive now.
     
    Jacqulina: Thanks for the pretty comments as usual, I am using Smoncrie's Hole Digging Lots ver. 2 . They are a wonderful tool for making sunken highways, tunnels, etc. I terraform with both that and road plopping. 5.gif
     
    Dhoppeii: Always great to see you around! The Sunken Highway in downtown, the Idea came to my head after imagining a picture of Los Angeles near downtown, with the 101 freeway. The Elevated Park was mean for looks first, and the avenue underneath was a shortcut. The road above was also a shortcut to old town. 44.gif
     
    SC4 Meister: Thanks man! You've been following this CJ from the beginning and I think you deserve a token of appreciation along with others. The Skyscrapers...hmmm...The under construction one you see on 26.10 is Rashika's Iolite Spire. It is a CS$$$ with 1,668 jobs and you can find his stuff in The Massively Giant Japenese Galley, under eddiem's signature.2.gif
     
    Mikeaut1: Thanks for the comments. I am always happy to see you around my CJ and yes, Jeroni's park is awesome and the highway was inspired by Los Angeles. You also deserve a token of appreciation! 44.gif

    I'm quite new to this forum and so I recently discovered all the wonderful CJ's here. I must say your CJ is one of the better ones. I'm really looking forward to seeing some more updates. Keep at it man, you're doing a great job with this city. 44.gif

    The elevated park is similar (although slightly different style) to many deck parks that city planners today are implementing across the U.S. (I am thinking of the I-10 tunnel in Phoenix, AZ, or the NJ-29 tunnel in Trenton, NJ, among others).

    Nice detail with the sunken freeway construction, and the commercial district looks impressive overall.

    Now that is some AMAZING TERRAFORMING!!! I've seen so many city journals with the use of CycleDogg's new mod in it... and I guess the bandwagon appeal is catching onto me... everyone else is using it! Maybe I should!! 18.gif That is some great Terraforming let me tell ya... it looks magnificent. And also that downtown is looking real good! Can't wait to see more!

    Wow, KOSC, this CJ has really taken off lately! Your use of cycledogg's mod is excellent, and the downtown shots are amazing, chock-full of BATs, just like I like it. Keep up the great work.

    Wow!  Im sorry I havent made it back to Goldenrod Plains as much as I would have liked.

    The region has grown so much!
    I love the park areas, the national park is incredible! 44.gif
    Also, I like how you show some of the terraforming that goes on before showing the finished product.
    The night shot Goldenrod City is awesome.
     
    Ill be back more often for sure! 1.gif
