Gasp! I'm stunned! My nomination didn't even make honorable mention.

C'mon, not even a pity vote for "The Schulmanatorium"??

It's ummm... environmentally friendly.

And no pesky homeowner's association!

Replies and Thank Yous!

Hanson784 - Thanks! It is a good piece of software to use for that kinda stuff.

rewright - Thanks!

thatmonkeysim - And you're Trump. Well they don't call it the Coastal Highway 106 for nothing.

BlondeTwiggy - Thanks Twiggy!! Hopefully Forest and Kayron Counties will be your favorite in Longmeadow. Thanks as well for the POH update.

zelgadis - Haha, could never disagree that The Bushwick's building is the nicest Maxis building in the game.

Schulmanator - HAHA!! I think you're getting your contests mixed up. The Parade of Hovels is sometime next month.

granto93 - Thanks, and lol!

Interchange - Oh boy. lol. Thanks for the comment.

Glenni - Thank you Glennison for your comment! And I'm going to have to agree there.

Update very soon on developments in PONDEROSA and TAMARACK!

[Schulmanator 5,787]

HOVELS??!!! Hey!!! I resemble that remark!!!

I just want you to know I built that hovel all by myself-- with my own two left hands!

Update quickly. You will be assimilated. Resistance is sorta futile (unless you're the crew of Voyager).

[Mikeaut1 261]

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Here is a little teaser of what is to come next: The City of Ponderosa in Forest County!

As you can see, Forest County has a whole different feel than Narivo County in terms of architecture.

More to come!

[Godzillaman 21]

OO a teaser! looks nice and suburban! keep up the great work!

WOO first to comment yayparty!

[sebbyb07 2]

very nice mike, i especially like the housing estate's repeated architecture, it has a nice vibe about it, I wouldn't mind living in The City of Ponderosa, and Forest county as a whole looks awesome.

[Mikeaut1 261]

Thanks Sebby and Godzillaman! These cities will be highly suburban, no big skyscrapers or anything like that, it's very very suburban and isolated from the urbanity of Narivo County!

[feliwi 4]

wonderful cj, i've got just one question: which water mod do you use, because the beaches you use fit in perfectly. in my cities the underwater sand looks so unrealistic, thanks

[sEAhAwk fAn121 0]

wow i like Pon... Pon... i gotta sound it out Pond-er-os-a PONDEROSA! YAY!

[ilikehotdogsalot 308]

oh wow mike, looks nice, but all the cities look great! i like all the trees in the streets, very nice good work again!

[scififan68 23]

I like the suburban look. You pulled it off mike! Great cj update!

[Mikeaut1 261]

Maybe an update tonight, thank you for all the replies!

[Interchange 0]

OMGLES!!!! that is so cool! I love that, it's just so wonderful, I always try to get that midrise european architecture, but it never works, but you've got it down nicely. You gotta show me how to do a traffic cam!

[penguin007 27]

in the last pic Mike what are the houses you downloaded?

looks great

will

[choco1 4]

Wowza! This journal is stunning Mike!

That city is looking darn realistic! And the layout is very eloquent.

Cheers.

[Mikeaut1 261]

Interchange - Thanks! Maybe I'll do another tutorial on the traffic cam!

penguin007 - Hi, thanks for commenting. Do you mean the European houses? Those are Maxis.

chocolatemax285 - Wow, coming from you that means alot! Thanks for the comment!

Another Teaser!

Since I'd like to do the big update on a new page, here is a teaser. The huge update following will be sometime today or tomorrow, and it will be really big, all of downtown Ponderosa!

Aspenwall Beach, Ponderosa

Aspenwall Beach is a stunning piece of beach directly in Downtown Ponderosa. Just off the coast, plans for building a lighthouse are being conversed. Aspenwall Beach is Longmeadow's most northern public beach (so far) and it offers peacefulness and quiet within a semi-urban setting. Residents of Ponderosa enjoy sitting under any of those tall aspen trees hugging the boardwalk. The beach is equipped with snack shacks, and even a restaurant.

[sEAhAwk fAn121 0]

oo great beach! water might be a bit cold though great update

[granto93 4]

ooooooh, i like it! i wish i could be there *drools*

[Simfan34 11]

Well, that looks like a nice seaside town!
