    @ helomoto whats wrong with Sloppet Square??18.gif and thanks for the compliment

    @ superstar well of course they are detailed if i was looking at a journal then i would want the pics to be as clear as they could possibly be so i can understand what im looking at
     
    @ jacqulina thanks for the comment! but you should really thank PEG for the nice waterfronts i give him most of the credit for South Duchati...
     
    @ my sister yes i will miss photoshop too... 15.gif
     
    @ ephorex_77 again all thanks goes to PEG and his hard work. Well the houses just built themselves in time so that means no mods no 'cutting' needed... patience is what was used...
     
    @ the_crispbread_witch well this is supposed to be real right?? lol well thats what the trees are for... and everyone has to release some tension sometimes right?? About the pics i was pretty much just playing around with MS Paint and MS Picture It! [photoshop's retarded cousin 18.gif ] and i think the pics came out pretty cool dont you think??
     
    @ Swamper77 read the post above^^ so i guess i am a tad bit better than you 9.gif
     
    @ RadioheadFan well the Narrows Family worked hard to get a place of their own in the city... and dont you think that since they have a booming business in the city that they could move out of thier shacks and trailers?? 19.gif
     
    @ Johnnyman7 well thats what i wanted to bring to you all clear and clean just like i want it
     
    @ dhoppeii i though that would be nice for my sims to travel with especially if they were in a hurry. Gotta love Mr Veggie's Hot Wings! lmao so i guess your the only one that got that 17.gif well that used to just be a curve but with the Narrows moving in they had to change the would entire traffic patterns and thats what it looks like now.
     
    @ oroen well its your canal you can do what you want with it...
     
    @UrbanSprawl i think everyone likes that park hehe
     
    @ frogface well im donating about $5.000.000 a month and di.... i cant donate!! thats why i love the sponsership program because i get to help with the site to keep it going because ST has become a huge part of my life and i never want to lose it! 44.gif
     
    whew... i think thats all of them....

    southduchatinarrowshome3mn.jpg

    As the Narrows Family started to really bring in the money they decided to by an old section of South Duchati that was starting to become ratty and turn it into there new home. Daniel Narrows, the family patriarch, made out the plans and decided where all of the 137 members of the family would stay. As more and more people came into the 'New Narrows Hollow' the more people in the area found out that these nice people are turning their nice lives into the 'Beverly Hillbillies'. So the people of South Duchati forced the Narrows Family to build a large fence protecting them, and everyone else from each other. Even with the people around them loving their food but hating their personalities the Narrows family has persevered and now they are thinking of making an addition to their new home! Only time will tell were they go next...

    Very interesting entrance into a storyline...Beverly Hillbillies eh? 2.gif All I can suggest is to do a little more character building, I know I'd like to hear more about the Narrows family.

    @ jacqulina if it wasnt for PEG then i dunno how i could make my cities... i dont know how i made them before i started getting PEGs stuff...

    @ dhoppeii yea the Narrows' big parties and games of drunken horsehose kinda got on everyone elses nerves...

    @ RadioheadFan well i was gonna make that a SURPRISE but no..... someone has to spoil it! lol yes the Narrows Family will play a huge role in Wood County thats why I made them but i havent really used them as much as i should have...

    @ the_crispbread_witch well its pretty much a private bus line because only the Narrows use it and it takes them wherever they want to go...

    @ Jerebannus XVI well thanks an i will keep uo the hard work !18.gif

    well forget what i said in the previous post... heres your update!!

    duchaticedargrove3vq.jpg

    Cedar Grove The new Town on the Block. The reason for that is is because with Duchati becoming a Commercial Powerhouse there hasnt been any need for Industrial jobs. So Mayor Jimmy Lee decided to split Inustrial City into 2 smaller parts and make some suburban areas on the reclaimed land. Well out of that plan you have Cedar Grove.

    duchaticrazyintersection1rp.jpg

    Cedar Grove is home to one of the craziest intersections ever. This is an intersection between A23/A66/A23-E5. Many frieght trucks use this intersection to get their goods from one part of SimNation to another. But now that there is regular traffic going through Duchati decided to make this craazy interchange.

    duchatidhoppeii4hk.jpg

    The beautiful Dhoppeii Creek is now able to run freely down to the Weyer River now that all the industy is gone. Even the waterfall is running faster than ever!

    duchatiplan0na.jpg

    With the increasing number of people in Cedar Grove that wanted to work in Duchati without riding one of the busy ferries or racing the traffic on M97 Mayor Lee's board of Commerce brought up this plan. The Cedar City Plan was a plan that would extend the land about a 1/4 mile into the Weyer River and build a new bridge. With the reclaimed area, head of the Board of Commerce Ross Meister says, we can bring even more business and residents to Duchati without worrying about sprawling them away from Downtown. Lets take an inside look on how they went about making this a reality...

    duchatidetourfora50ah.jpg

    First they needed to make a detour for A5 during the 2 years that they were gonna need the coastline. Also they needed to make a new M. Bison High School which has the most students in one school in Duchati. 4,863 students.

    duchatidemolished3pg.jpg

    After they were done demolishing the buildings and tearing up the roads...

    duchatistones2db.jpg

    duchatiextend8or.jpg

    They dropped special stones that are designed to flatten out the land, making it easier to expand out into the river.

    duchaticedargroveside0qa.jpg

    Now that they've gotten the Duchati side finished they needed to get the Cedar Grove side ready to build the new bridge.

    duchatiblank0sd.jpg

    And after another year of setting down roads, building the bridge, and making a seawall to protect the reclaimed land. Then another 5 years of development here is the finished product.

    duchatifinished5ki.jpg

    So how do you guys like that?? Comments are very much welcome and as I have said before motivate me to give you guys the best and the next update!

    tms - the whole interchange area is really cool looking.  It does look like it could confuse your sims a bit.  But very creative.  Thanks for the creek and waterfall being named after me.  It seems appropriate since I really like that rural type of stuff.  Looks very nice BTW.  I enjoyed the fact that you showed us the process of your land reclamation project.  I always enjoy those technical updates.  The finished product looks fantastic indeed.

    Regards,
