I believe this is my first visit to your CJ. Nice work and great history on the cities and region.

Nice work on the layout of the park... and those are good close-ups. I really like the area around the Metrodome, the parking lots, the avenue (yes, the avenue) and everything else in between.

Classic! I love the Santa pic!

Oh, nice eye candy! I like those neighbourhoods. And that guy, in a red suit, is the real Santa or is you? Here in Spain, Santa isn't very famous, but I know where he lives, what he eats...Is better when I finish my stupid things time, eh?

Great work, as always, Brandon!

    Update 16: Location, location, location...

    Well, it's update time, and this CJ is taking a slightly different road this time around.. It's time for you, the reader,

    to give me back some important feedback. What kind of feedback, you may ask? Well, I've decided to sell off some of Roselle's

    primier homes, condominiums, and apartments, to you guys! All you have to do is pick which one you would like to "purchase"

    and a realator will process your input for that house, and who knows, it might be your lucky day!

    For all of your realtor needs, talk to some of our sponsors:

    You better act quickly though, they go fast 2.gif

    What? The last property is FREE!? Yes, for the 12th poster after this update, you will get this exclusive

    Mid-19th Century building in one of Roselle's premier neighborhoods, free of price (and free Homeowner's Insurance for life). 

    So what are you waiting for? Place your bids now!

    Please keep in mind that these properties don't have twins, so pay attention to other people's choices so we 

    don't have a homeowner's conflict 3.gif

    I guess you've decided to join the wave of CJs that are giving or buying out houses to visitors of the CJ; good luck with this sure-to-be-fad.

    Thanks for your comments you guys! I see we got some offers for some real estate...

    Properties #1,2,4,5,9,10 are taken, and we're 9 posts in, so only 3 posts more until someone wins that special last building (and something else that isn't going to reveal itself until that 12th poster, well, posts 9.gif)

    Happy House Hunting!

    Nicely done! I've been following this lately... my dad actually grew up in Roselle (IL) and my grandfather lived there on Elm St for many years, just two block away from St. Walter's church, I liked the pics of the Elgin-O'Hare expressway (which goes to neither Elgin, nor O'Hare... hmm....) and the mention of nearby towns as well.

    You've got a good cj going here.  I'm not sure if I'd want to move in though, given your propensity for destroying small towns. 2.gif


    No matter where you go, there you are!

    Hi everyone. I hope you are all having a great day/evening/night or whatever.

    I'm sorry that I havent been around much lately, but unfortunatley my family is right now in a state of "family crisis" (of which I'm not going into detail)...
    Therefore, I probably won't be around for a little while. Don't think that I'm permanently leaving ST, I've just got a lot of crap to deal with right now. I'll check in periodcally to let you all know I'm still alive (that's an overstatement 3.gif) and telling you that my CJ is going to be put on hold until order can be retained in RL.

    Thanks to all of you for the good times and I hope to be back soon. But until then, I cannot make you any promises...

    Again, thanks to all of you that have come in to visit and comment in my CJ, please do not consider Roselle closed permanently, just temporarily.

    -Brandon (Kippis)

    Awwww. Kippis. I am so sorry to see you won't be updating or adding anything to your CJ for a while. I wish you well, and i hope all is good on your homefront. Things happen like this but, I will still remain a fan of your CJ. I will look forward to more of your updates hopefully in the near future. I will unfortunately friend, I will be removing your "Roselle" link for active CJ's. Not to say yours is not worh it. I will however remain subscribed to Roselle so that i can be kept informed of its progress. Good Luck to you friend. See you soon??? 4.gif
