The buildings were well chosen in the downtown. Though, I've got to say the skyline looked much larger from region view. It must be the mix of mid rises from a distance!

[Inspecter 12]

Sorry I was saying the same thing to much.

[RON-E 0]

[DarkEldar 6]

Welcome to Page 26.

EDIT: This was my 2626th post as well!  Coincidence, huh?

Woodhale is off to a great start Mike.  Everett's downtown really shows how good you are with blending Maxis buildings with CC.  Then again, Coram-Medford was the same, now that I think of it, heh!  The map looks excellent.  It's nice to have one since we can all kinda get a better perspective on where everything is, instead of a hit-and-miss deal where we are all trying to guess their locations.  You really emphasize mass transit in your cites, huh?  Well it makes it more realistic, and you're not plagued with massive traffic accidents or bottlenecks on freeways (or at least not as often).  Heritage Square is really the cherry on top.  Instead of a mostly griddy transportation layout, you have a very fluid, realistic and beautiful system of roads and streets.  Keep it up!

Damn Mike, that new city that you've started looks amazing! I'm really liking the GLR system you've set up in the downtown! (You've even got heaps trams running along those lines which is something I failed to do many times, my sims don't like GLR!!!) and by the looks of that last image you've got a nice subway system going too! I actually like how you used a fair amount of Maxis buildings too because you only used the best ones that fit into your custom content. The outer areas really green, that's a good thing, a good park system!

I think this is my first post in your CJ, I may have to stop in more often!

Thank you all for your nice comments, will reply at the end of the update!

EDIT - I'll get to them soon I promise!!  A lot of people commented this update and I'm really grateful for it... I have some RL to tend to right now...

Here is the second part of Downtown Everett, more of an update on specific things in downtown Everett.

You may need the DOWNTOWN MAP to point out the areas!!

And here are some pictures of Downtown....

And here is a map of the highways in Woodhale!

[Godzillaman 21]

What building is Lundquist square? It looks like a nice Downtown Filler.

Nice downtown. Doesn't look like ONE maxis building is repeated.

[penguin007 27]

I like the park and the downtown looks excellent

[crazyarchitect 7]

Woodhale looks so awesome, and Everett is spectacular, just great planning all around, so beautiful

[sEAhAwk fAn121 0]

love the downtown mikey it looks really good! and the subway stuff is awsome sause!

[politicman 1]

WOW ! It's an amazing job Great work ! It's look like Washinton DC at the United States with the Capitol !

[sixers33 3]

Amazing work mike! You have planned the town, a nice layout and the CJ is well presented. Key buildings are pictured and information is given.

I haven't seen a better CJ on any Sim City site!

[Dsrwhat316 12]

great use of the GLR! the downtown area looks excellent, as well. i also like that theater in the 1st pic. a great update!

[Zelgadis 638]

Looks pretty! And the GLR is well integrated downtown too.

ISF

[lilbrownsuga5 1]

looking good

[ky72x 13]

Although the sidewalks look a bit bare, I like how all the textures match together. It looks very, very nice like that. The featured buildings were all good, and your choices were spot-on. I have to ask what building was used for the Lundquist Center, because it looks cool! Just what I need, another downtown filler. Keep the great work coming Mike!

sEAhAwk fAn121 - Haha, we'll work on that in the Airport Update. Thanks!

ky72x - Thanks for the long and detailed comment! I'm glad you're noticing some of the aspects of this city journal; with the mass transit and the strive for realism. Thank you so much for commenting and looking at every update!

C.ockatoo-210893 - Wow, thanks!! I'm glad you like it, and yes I strive for realism with keeping a variated downtown. I do alot of bulldozing buildings that repeat, and soon I have a nice variety of buildings in one central location. Thanks for commenting, hope to see you around soon!

Godzillaman - Lundquist Square is 40 & 50 Bank Street by Ill Tonkso. I have to agree its a great building and is suitable for any downtown.  Thanks for your interest!!

penguin007 - Thanks!

crazyarchitect - Thank you so much, glad you like it!

sEAhAwk fAn121 - Thanks! Glad you like it!

politicman - Haha, nice connection there, never really thought of that. Thanks!

sixers33  - On any site?! Wow, thanks for that high comment! I can think of so many other city journals better than this one... like Anduin Valley or Jeronij's city journals. Glad you like it!

Dsrwhat316 - Thanks, glad you like the GLR!!

zelgadis - Thanks, glad you're enjoying the GLR too. Glad I implemented that into the downtown.

lilbrownsuga5 - Thank you Jordi!!

ky72x - Right after you said that comment on the sidewalks, I did look back and I have to agree with you. I might have to find a mod that can put more stuff out there. Thanks for that suggestion!! Thank you so much for your comment, and for your query regarding Lundquist Square, scroll up to the Red Godzillaman reply.

Thanks again to everyone's comments, they are really really really really really appreciated!
