It most likely won't happen. No clue what they're gonna do with the new CJ section and how everything will be moved, but that's probably the only time/way it'll get fixed.

I love Edmonton! I haven't been there, but from the pics i've seen it looks amazing! The airport is really cool.

[Kippis05 2]

This CJ is really big, 60 pages or somethin?

[storms991 0]

don't double post please. Nice CJ just been browsing

Well, we'll just have to wait and see - I speak with him on MSN sometimes (shameless self promotion ) and he also has a lot of other things going on in life, as we all do. Heck, I just had to tell my horrified World of Warcraft guild that I'll be leaving the game for an indefinite amount of time!

Here's hoping!

This is a CJ full of great thought and planning. JerseyDevil: you are too good with presentation and creative city building to let it slip away.

If you are like me; (the meloncholy personality)We tend to not like change or surprises.

Once you get into the flow of how a project or job works, you develop your own method or system, that is most efficient. Then somebody comes along and takes your hammer away and gives you a screwdriver instead. Then they tell you, still get the nails driven.

Working for a newspaper forced me to adapt to changes and do it fast too.

So believe me, when I say; I really know how you feel.

Maybe we can find some kind of solution? Have you contacted admin/mods about it?

Edmonton: What a fantastic place! I cannot believe that no one else has made some of the stuff you have! Like that valley, gulch under the bridge thing, back at beginning. The banners/headers you create are true Illustrious Art and I would hate to see it stop. It would be a shame to lose such a great CJ and CJ'er, eh?

I think frndofyaweh is right! We really miss (especially sloppet) you, and your Cj... PLEASE come back, and show us that you still remember about us!

*is looking forward for TJD's 1000th post with the great Update!*

How does one get ahold of this region and cities therein?

[1ajs 49]

he made it............

[thorkos 0]

I don't think you understood the question.

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

he did understand the question. he terraformed the region, and built all up from scratch

[sloppet 3]

Great news! I don't know if I can say it here, but it looks like Edmonton, this CJ, is going to be updated soon... It's not dead!

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

chat works wonders huh? lol

[Rayden 7]

Great work in here, a master piece, a gem, like someone already said, better than the original. It sure took you a lot of hours and imagination to do all that, plus the really good presentation of this CJ. Another one for my collection of favourites.

[anubis89 108]

and you are working almost 3 years on it

TJD must be preparing something really special for his 1000th post!

I said the same thing to him a couple of weeks ago or so in the chat. Still though this is the best re-creation ever and of course I do think he's planning somethng big!

The City of Edmonton

June 5, 2006 - TheJerseyDevil73's 1000 post.

Well, I have patiently saved my 1000th Post for a reason.

For anyone who doesn't know when Simtropolis transfered to Simtropolis 5.0 my City Journal was damaged quite a bit. Fixing it at first didn't seem possible. But with alot of effort and some great help from MrCinatit we should have things with in order in a few more days.

Things that needed fixed

- 150 to 200 pictures where lost and needed replace. Hours of looking threw old files on my PC and loading onto replies as old as 3 years ago.

- 17 replies where lost in the CJ throwing off every page header I had placed at the top of eah page pain stakingly. I loaded up all 60 page headers and MrCinatit will be placing each of these at the top of each page mostly under other peoples names.

- The CJ Legend. Since most of the pages are off by 17replies I had to totally remake the Legend which showed all of the CJ's content for easy reference.

- Alot of the pictures where found on my PC, but a handful will be lost forever.

- Going threw the CJ and deleting all the page headers that are now on wrong pages or no where near the top of any page.

I have spent about 8hours so far fixing these issues. I have 9 pages left out of the 32 that are missing pictures to do. Plus the Legend. Also MrCinatit should be placing everything else in the next few days.

To everyone who is a fan of this CJ thanks for your patience. I have a great update which should be up later today aswell.

[mightygoose 92]

yeaaaaaaah man world service at its best, you master, back in the game, omg loving it. thank god for mrcinatit. cannot wait

[helomoto 28]

sweet bless you

[Micah 16]

Congrats on 1000. Wow, that's a lot of work. I can't imagine sitting on the computer for 7 hours just doing that. Thanks for the help Mr. Cinatit.

[JaneJacobs 1]

Great! I am so glad to hear this news. It sounds like you've done a lot of work, more than I might have if I'd found myself in such a frustrating situation, but I am certainly glad you have decided to do it. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of Edmonton as this is, of course, one of the premier city journals on Simtropolis.

Again, thank you for your efforts!

[Vigo_Zerox 0]

YES!, youre back

you had me worried for a while there

[Firebird 40]

I decided to stick my head in here to see what all the fuss about the CJ "City of EDMONTON" was all about and I never expected to stumble upon a post like TJD's 1000 post. This shows undying devotion to a CJ like i have never seen before. Not every CJer would keep doing this day after day, all for a CJ, and keep writeing it at the same superb quality. So, I say, good luck with the restoration, and keep writing this superb CJ! I will definitely be bookmarking this one.

Hawrelak Park - June 5th 2006

Hawrelak Park is located just to the south east of downtown Edmonton.

Its one of Edmonton's premier and most used parks. It is host to everything from the World Cup of Triathalon to Heritage Days which is home to 58 different countries in this years event coming up in 2 months. Heritage days is a weekend festival to experience all the different cultures Edmonton has to offer. Everything you can eat, great weather, and cultures displaying what makes them unique. The park also has an amphitheater that is host to a number of other events including Shakespeare under the sky towards the end of summer. During the Christmas season you can drive threw at night and see Bright Nights.

It is also part of the huge trail system that runs along the river in Edmonton. The small lake in the middle has paddle boats for rental in the summer and is a popular skating area in the winter.

I hope this small update was worth the wait. I have had it sitting here for several months. Now its time for me to get working on the City some more. In the time I took off from the CJ I didn't work on the actual city much.

[mightygoose 92]

wow this is brilliant just like the photos, cant wait for more
