    Well, just so everyone knows, I have not died. I've been extremely swamped at work and with the househunting for my move up north of my metro for in June. But, I have done quite a bit of work on Arbor Lake...

    So, here is a sneak peek at the next update for Arbor Lake...

    And just so everyone knows, I know I have a lot of stuff to fix in that picture, but its just a sneak peek....

    Ok, I've finished the next update... I'd do my normal individual replies, but I'm kinda pressed for time...

    So, I want to thank everyone that replied during my off time there!

    Well, now to Update 4!

    -------------------------------------------------

    I took these pics on a recent helicopter tour when I was downtown in Arbor Lake...

    update41au6.jpg

    This one is of the newly completed Northside Pier, where we had a picnic early that day...

    The city planner we had lunch with guess-timated that it cost around $1.9 million dollars to finish and said that it sees nearly 40k people a day.

    ...

    update42ew1.jpg

    This one is of the financial center and Southside Pier after dark...

    Everyone was amazed at how beautiful the water looks when the reflections of the buildings hit it... The night club on the pier is amazing inside too...

    ...

    update43vt8.jpg

    This one, taken across the lake, is of North Shore.

    Everytime I see it, it reminds me a lot of the Bronx in New York. We took it right after takeoff during sunset. You'd never believe it has the metro's busiest subway line underneath it!

    ...

    update44jr4.jpg

    Here's another view of the Financial district and Southside Pier...

    That water.... its just so clear! Scientists say its from all the NEV cars and trucks driving around, the extensive public transportation usage, and all the strict enviromental laws...

    ...

    update45ci9.jpg

    Funny story behind this one...

    Turns out, tuna salad doesn't fare well in warm weather, and fly on a helicopter only makes things worse... Thank god Arbor Lake has some of the best hospitals around... 

    Next time, I'm going with that fast Japanese steakhouse joint we saw on Main....

    -------------------------------------------------

    Well, that's all I have for this update...

    Let me know what you think!

    I really like the waterfront, looks really realistic. I would like to know what those waterfront walkways are named so I can get them. I also like the way you have added the reflections in the water, it looks really scerene. Good job on this update my friend.
