         Welcome to my first attempt on a city journal. I have been working on this region for about 2 months and hope you like it. Below are some info on the region.

Modds/cheats:

NAM

Radical Ordinance

Columbus terrain/trees modd

Windjammer water modd

Click for cash lots

RH Plop Modd (only for downtown areas)

Granite cliffs by peg

The you don't desserve it cheat

The ctr-shift-alt cheat to get back to god mode

I also have tons and tons of stex downloads, I would like to thank everyone who uploads mods

and buildings to the stex.

Region Info:

     The map i am using is a 3 by 3 medium square map. IT was hand terraformed by me so its not the best. The map is already completed and very little work will be done on it. The city resembles a southern californian city in my opinion but you my think diffrent. The history to the region I will come up with in future updates.

                                                    This is one of the earliest pics I have with no development

        This is the current transportaiton view of the city. (the blue thing in the bottom right hand corner is an airport).

                                                                    I will hopfully have the first update by tommorow.

                                                                                      Comments are of course welcome.

Looks interesting. The road winding up the mountain certainly intrigues me, making me wonder what's up there.

    Very well done, but I think the towers are a tad tall for me. Very good though!

    scba- That park is the best, I couldn't of find a better baseball stadium. Thankyou for making that.44.gif

        This update will probally have the most text out of all of them.  Since this update is on old town I thought anding some history would be nice, so here it is...

         Below is a Picture of Explorer Bob's boat, He was on an expiditon when he stumbled upon an empty land. He sailed Into the bay and the hull of his boat hit coral, He was able to make it to land were The citie of Coral Bay would start.

    exploerlandinghz6.jpg 

    So he started a city, He made housing and schools and soon people were flocking to the city

    oldtown7uh0.jpg

        Below is the Coral Inn. It was built to hold all the people flocking in to the newly found coral Bay. 

    oldtown8di8.jpg         The night inn stay, was built for the same reason as the Coral Inn, and were the first hotels in Coral Bay

    oldtown9qo5.jpg

    This is the school and mueseum of old town.

    oldtown2sr7.jpg

     With the growing demand the mayor demanded a power plant. They built the one below.

    oldtown4jl7.jpg

      The mayor also built Coral Bays first cemetary, seen below.

    oldtown3mw9.jpg

     Now 120 years later modern hotels have moved into coral bay.

    oldtown5zg3.jpg

     The following is an overview of the city.

    Thanks for stopping by, Update tommorow

    I like the way you edit the shots. Very nice angles to them, which makes the already good looking buildings look even better.

    I thought the "Explorer Bob" part was funny. Great job, reminds me of old SimCitys for some reason though...
