El  Paraiso

Chapter 4: El Cerro Verde

Yes, we are back! two year has past in El Paraiso and it is now 1994. Amazingly, El Monte grew to 5,000 people in this time. Now, more new and affordable homes are wanted all over the region and thats because the average 2,500 squarefeet home in El Monte cost $500,000. So with no further due's, I present you El Cerro Verde

you get it.

Here's our small downtown with Pier 1 Imports, Goody's, 7-11, Burger King, BP Gas, Publix, and Verde High School.

Believe it or not, the average 2,500 square feet home here cost's $250,000.

The first use of roundabouts.

There's Verde Rail Station.

El Cerro Verde at night!

The beach and a couple of store's.

A small river was found on Beach Blvd. I know it looks crapy!

The river was traced to this lagoon. Guess what it was called... Correct, Laguna Verde!

El Cerro Verde has a small port on the other side of Green Hill.

By now, you might be thinking, "were does all the trash go?" Well since we want to keep El Paraiso clean, we decided to throw the trash over the edge. Come on now, who cares what there is on the other side of the edge. That's what Pegadyne Industries said so we are too!

... And that's all for today, take care. You don't want to end up like those retards that get pushed through the garbage disposal system just because they didn't look both ways to see if a garbage truck was pulling up.

BTW, asturiano, thank you very much. I will look at your cj too! but I want to warn you that the rules of posting in other cj's says that you cannot advertise your own cj in another unless it's in your signature like mine. just be careful!

Comment's and suggestions are welcome!

El Paraiso

Chapter  5

Now first for replies:

kant01: yay page 2, thanks for the reminder!

jacqulina: thanks for reading and watching!

asturianu: Thanks, you don't have to be rich to live in El Cerro Verde.

patriots_1228: At least you look in your plugin folder! I'm to lazy to do that! thanks for reading!

bat: thanks!

asturianu: Te mande un PM sobre eso, pero tambien les dire a todos aqui? I sent you a PM about that, but I will tell everyone here too. Those high tension post's are in the stex, I believe they were made by fukuda.

camaron: Thanks, you got to thank Peg for those trash lots

aleko: Thanks, i'm sort of aiming for that, but once I get more inland, It won't be all that tropical.

Alright, now for the update.

Today, we will focus more into inland El Paraiso were later we will see a big metropolis called Ciudad del Rio.

Here are some photos of what you would see if you travel from El Monte to Ciudad del Rio.

This here is Pointy Valley. At first, a small town was planned here but it was canceled for safety reason's like rock slide and what not.

The other side of Pointy Valley

This here is Fouside Volcano and a small town and rest stop.

Along the highway, now inland you will find Exit 57 that will take you to the small town of Santa Fe.

...and there is Exit 57. To the left is the Valley River and Santa Fe.

Here's the whole Santa Fe area.

Another stop along the Highway is Exit 71, which is the town of La Zacateca. Notice how rock walls are begining to be used along the Valley River.

A view of the river.

There is Exit 71

Now we get to the vacant land od Ciudad del Rio. Here, a new project sprung up, "The Valley River Canalization Project"

This is a "just in case" project that will help if just in vase a flooding of the river happens the city, would be ready, it' kinda like the LA River, it's all cement.

The Canal under construction.

There is the final project.

Finally, a new cross city freeway was built, "just in case"

(like my cheap photoshop picture?)

Well that's all for today folk's. Next update will be about Ciudad del Rio. Thanks for stopping by!

[jacqulina 162]

great canal construction cant wait to see more,yes like the photoshop pic

[raul39 0]

Okay, my bad. I should have shown some region photos. Here they are

There you go!

[Camaron 1]

Good pictures, I like the use of the canal and trees to enhance the scenery.

[gurrgkud 2]

[asturianu 4]

Really Great. I'm very glad to see this region growing and to see it so real and pretty.

Realmente Aluzinante. Estoy muy contento de ver esta regi

The time has come again for another update!

El Paraiso

Chapter 6

Ciudad del Rio

Replies:

jacqulina: Thanks, That canal must have tooken me 45 minutes to build.

Camaron:I knew people would like that canal, thanks for reading!

gurrgkud: Thanks, unfortunatly future growth in Pointy Valley won't happen because for some reason, every time I build something on a steep slope (I think) the game crashes.

asturianu: gracias tambien.

asturianu (again): yes those highways are photoshoped. But there is something similar called Rural Highway Project that will probably come out in the next NAM.

Today, we will focus in to the new big city called Ciudad del Rio. It's only got a population of 21,000 but the sense of big city is coming, especially on the highways!

Pictured here is the Downtown area.

A totally grid area with a pentagon in the middle

This is were the more welthier sims live.

Here is the majer work spot which is currently under expansion.

A view of Santa Ana Hieghts in the night.

This is a major freeway in the area which is always jammed with traffic.

The Santa Ana Interchange.

A view of the Downtown apartments.

Downtown is home of the very first sunken freeway in El Paraiso

Pentagon Grids has a mixture of single family homes and aprtments.

Pentagon Park.

Pentagon Grids is home of Ciudad del Rio's University.

That's all for today, Next update will probably be about Ciudad del Rio again.

Thanks for reading!

No, it's not an update yet. but I have been gone for a while in Las Vegas and I still am, but I'll be back in my town by today.

Just don't expect an update today!

ThomasAH:I like building canals, it's hard but it's worth it!

jacqulina: Thanks, I see everyone likes the canal!

asturianu: garcias amigo, siempre un placer temerte aqui!

Diamond Dave 66: thank you!

asturianu: Miro yo que siempre tienes dos cosas que desir!

Camaron: ...and you will see more!

patriots_1228: Well, if you look closly in Chapter 5, the mountain range in Pointy Valley has lots and lots of Pointy peaks. There is no way a city could start on the mountains!

gurggkud: Thanks, it's easy to tell why I picked the name pentagon grids!

Well, thats it for probably today!

Cheers from Fabulous Las Vegas!

[jacqulina 162]

El Paraiso

Chapter 7

I'm home now and I can't believe I'm updating today!

Anyway, let's get started.

Heres the Ciudad del Rio transit map for 1999. Note that there is no developement on CentenialPkwy yet, but the street is there.

A large picture of growth to the north.

Here's a closer look of the apartments in the north of downtown.

On the other side of Mountain Dr., there is a new stadium and some more mid rise apartments.

Some new suburbs called Sonoma, were built between Alicante Ave and Decatur Dr.

On the other side of I-50 is Alicante, also between Alicante Ave. and Decatur Dr.

No suburb is complete without a shopping center. Pictured here is Alicante Shopping Plaza.

Ciudad del Rio hits the sky! CRX was built in 1998 and amzingly finished in 1999.(In the fictional world of Sim City, anything is possible, with help from simtropolis!)

To the west of CRX is a new hi-tech center that is still under development.

Yes! Once again, Ciudad del Rio thinks for the future and makes the beltway. With the beltway came construction of the Raul Martinez Underwater Tunnel. Named after me!

And to the other side of the Raul Martinez Tunnel is Greenland Interchange.

Well, that's all for today. Please let me know if I am doing good!

Thanks for reading
