by far my favorite CJ here (I'm a sucker for realistic cities) and it's the main reason I was inspired to create my own.  Keep up the great work, looking forward to the next update.

    I would like to thank everyone for there sapport and 100,000 views. Another great milestone for the CJ. Again this CJ is alive and well. But progress on the region has been slow of late. It should pick up in another month or so. Keep posted. 11.gif

    Edmonton - Canada Day 05'

    We went downtown to watch the fireworks last night along with the HighLevel Bridge Water fall which is taller then Niagra. No where near the ammount of water or width but still an impressive man made water fall. There was thousands of people lining the river valley to watch the fireworks. Since its Alberta's 100th aniversary they put on a great show. The weather was nice with a great thunder storm sitting to the west aswell. Seems every Canada day here its clear and warm but with lightning sarounding the city?!

    Here is a picture of the Waterfall with the University area in the background. Also this picture was taken at 10:30pm.....bright nights 11.gif

    I was too watching the fireworks and i saw the storm..I am actually in the west of the city so i was quite close when i went home haha..

     
    but Canada day was soo fun a bunch of my friends and me went down to Sylvan Lake for the day and just hung out on the beach..it was beautiful until about 3.30 .. than storms started blowing in, and it wasn't fun anymore so we headed back haha
     
    but back on topic the fireworks were quite cool but i missed the Waterfall, does it only run during the day?

    Truely, this is an art form! Great terrain work!

    I am also very humbled now. You have to really like your math to be doing such a fantastic replica!
     
    I hope you keep it coming. This is joy to view and inspiring!

    Unbelievable dedication, accuracy and realism! I love this city journal, have been following it off and on for some time now. Very impressed with the work you've done here, and with the terraforming detail and road placement detail especially.

    Looking forward to more as this city continues to grow (I hope?) Anyway, great project.

    I love this CJ and I look to it for inspiration for my own.  I think that you should check out the diagonal streets mod though, its in the modding - transit forum and would look great in this journal.

    I have got to say that you have revolutionised my perception of building a city when I started my city few month ago. Edmonton is a great city! It would be spectacular if I could be enlighten more with Edmonton history!

    Edmonton

    Street Performers Festival

     
    Edmonton is known as the city of festivals. We have something going on nearly everyday of the summer with some of them being north america's or the worlds largest type of that festival...
     
    The Edmonton International Street Performers festival is the worlds largest of its kind. It attracts performers from around the globe. Held in the heart of Edmonton at Sir Winston Churchill Square infront of city hall.
     
    As the summer goes by I will take pictures from different events and festivals and give all of you a feel for the city. This city journal as always in in the works. But as UCS takes away my time this summer I will be showing alot of previously made areas and pictures from around the city.

    I really curious to know how you set up a region like this? Is there a Mod or something that allows you to build transportation systems, schools, hospitals, etc... without spending money? I would really love make my own region like this but really don't know how to get it started.

    Edmonton CJ Listed as Top 5 CJ's
     
    I was shown the definition of SimCity4 the other day on Wikipedia. It goes on to talk about City Journals and names the 5 most posted on the internet. I was really happy to see Edmonton among the list.
     
     
    I really have the urge to play the region lately, but with UCS and a busy summer sched I don't have the time to get deep into it. I should begin a fast pace come September...I have some new lots, bats and mods I want to add to help the region be more realistic aswell.... Keep posted as always.
