Well, the work I had done on the State Theater (the one in Detroit, by the way) got turned into my Griffin Building, so that's dead. And I haven't seen hide nor hair of budweiserdude since early last year, so I think Michigan Stadium is on ice as well.

I don't think a website is really neccecary, since Simtropolis is the biggest SC4 fansite, and where the people who download things go, and where the people who make things go.  It's also free for us, and more convienient to maintain.  And I know I won't pay for our own site!!   quote>

Well, just got into SC4(DE), and then found your group (was looking for the Ypsilanti Water Tower)...  I am wondering how the Michigan Stadium and State Theater are doing...?

Also, have you thought of hitting up the local businesses (Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti/Detroit) about sponsoring your works?  (Heck, if you double dip in Second Life...)  Not only is it cool for us to see, but I could see the Ypsi-Arbor Bowling people or The Brown Jug maybe paying a bit to get some exposure like this.....quote>

Hello everybody....

I highly doubt the jug would pay for it. Besides, South U is pretty much a wasteland at the moment. I should know, I run the 19 story hunk of junk over there.

[wolverine 12]

^ How much are rents for studio or 1 bedroom apartments in that 19 story hunk of junk over there. I'm looking for a place to live.

[budweiserdude23 80]

Expensive...take a peak...

[wolverine 12]

Wow, no wonder several of my friends are crammed in a one room apartment in that place.

Love the work you guys have done. Anybody thinking of putting together a BAT of the old Hudson's building in Detroit?

[Jasoncw 11,840]

Wolverine was working on one a looong time ago.

[wolverine 12]

I still have Hudsons (I've been recovering some nice color images of detailing on it for texture.

budweiserdude, I hate your stupid P.O.S tower. Because it flooded tonight, my friends called, I have 3 displaced residents staying at my house right now. I guess it's raining down floor to floor.

[allez l'om 1]

you have a lot of project!!!! i wish a good continuation because you will make them during along time but there will be still wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!

[budweiserdude23 80]

Yehah I hate that place too. It pays the bills (kinda, I'm way underpaid for the crap I put up with) but it's a a real POS. I got called in for six hours for that flood since some dumb girl left her window open and froze the fire suppresion lines which then exploded. Got to miss the U-M vs. ND hockey game I had tickets to as well. What a swell time...

[wolverine 12]

Well keep an eye on the 7th floor, ya hear?

[budweiserdude23 80]

Will do, it's gonna be several more days unfortunately. The water still hasn't completely dried but it's close...then begin the balance of the repairs.

[Jasoncw 11,840]

Not too long ago Google Maps came out with the street view feature, and I figured I'd post the locations of some BSP BATs.  I added them as links to the list on the front page, copied below.

Landmark Name	Location	Date Uploaded	Creator
• The Detroit Free Press Building	Detroit	February 11, 2006	Jasoncw
• Borders Books and Music	Ann Arbor	November 1, 2006	Nofunk
• The Vinton Building	Detroit	November 5, 2006	Jasoncw
• Burton Memorial Tower	Ann Arbor	November 8, 2006	Nofunk
• John King Books	Detroit	December 14, 2006	Nofunk
• Park Avenue Building & Park Apartments	Detroit	December 18, 2006	Nofunk
• Ypsilanti Water Tower	Ypsilanti	February 7, 2007	<

[sparkythepenguin 90]

That feature is sooo cool! I've actually used it to help me BAT. I ought to do a list like this for my project.

[wolverine 12]

Alright all, I've restarted on Hudson's Department Store.

[Swiss_Canadian 2]

YES!! Great to hear you're going to be working on the BSP again Wolverine!

[bigskelding 12]

I remember then taking done hudsons, i watched it from this side of the river though.

Swiss- Is that John Cambal as your pic? calssic school btw

[ianpaschal 77]

As an Ann Arborite I feel obligated to take part in this project. Only problem is I don't much like the architecture around here

If people need reference on the Michigan stadium I may be able to help, my high school is across the street. PS, you guys know that uber ugly addition their putting on? God, what a monstrosity.

[echopapa 0]

Plenty of good 3d models at the Google Sketchup Warehouse.

Tiger Stadium

One Woodward Avenue

The Penobscot Building

Cadillac Place

[ianpaschal 77]

Thanks for that.

For me though, BATing is 90% of the fun.

You'd be surprised that most of the people working on this project are from Ann Arbor.   I'm actually living near Kerrytown. 

 budweiserdude was working on Michigan Stadium.  Not sure why he stopped..either because he is busy or waiting for more details on renovations.

[budweiserdude23 80]

Busy, alot going on on my life right now. I still have it, just haven't worked on it in a very long time.

[Jasoncw 11,840]

Wolverine:  Looking forward to seeing it!

Scipio:  Yeah, it's too bad about that.  I don't think there are any buildings that you would want to do, and trust me I've thought about this before. 

[Swiss_Canadian 2]

Good eye bigskelding! Yes, it is John Campbell, my old grade school. When they moved the classes to Lowe in December so they could renovate this building, I decided to colourize a photo of the school from when if first opened in 1927. I liked the end result so much I thought I'd use it as my avatar. I've been trying to use bits of Windsor history for my avatars lately; the last avatar I had was the sign for Epps hunting shop which was a classic part of downtown, now known as Cheetah's.

Jason, wolverine and I are all in A2, actually.

It's a shame there isn't anything you'd want to model, because it'd be great to have you on the project! Is there anything in another Michigan city you'd be interested in? I know A2 is limiting, but there's a few nice modern buildings in ... Grand Rapids? lol

[ianpaschal 77]

There is one possibility.... On South U there's the Amstedamertije, a building that for only god knows why was built like an Amsterdam House

Naw, I'll think about it. The new high school actually where my little brother wants to go, is supposed to be really nice. Might be nice to have a modern steel and glass high school.

[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

So your retexturing one woodward? Excellent news, I always loved that model.

[Jasoncw 11,840]

Yeah, I'm retexturing the roof, and tweaking/completing some other textures. There is also some modeling that needs to be corrected/redone. I also need to model the base. All in all though, it's pretty far along. I want to work on it, but I've distracted myself with other projects, lol.

[patriots_1228 51]

^ I feel like scum for starting this google warehouse craze.

it was one quick emergency upload to honor an occasion people!

on topic, can you tell me what you've done as far as Ford Feild and Michigan Stadium go? Im really interested in those two! (duh)
