On the main road from Kettering to Northampton Town Centre, where I live, a new european and funky house has been built. And since that house has been built, from the way home from school, me and my mum would say 'Highbury Hill' every time we go by it as that is the name of the house. I thought about Sim City 4 Rush Hour when i first saw it... and suddenly made the city once I got home. 

From the creators of Warsaw and Venice, Highbury Hill is an look-a-like 'Portland' city, which is located in Oregon, USA, with the famous mountain of Mount Hood in the north/east. I went on this site and downloaded as many of the real Portland buildings and plopped them in the downtown district of Highbury Hill. In Highbury Hill is located many suburban districts, such as; Beaverton, Linda Downs, Ida Bay, Saxby Downs, Taringo Downs, Highfield and Norman... 

Some pics are below, so ill give you a free, exhilarting tour of Highbury Hill...

    I must say, downtown seems a little dense for a suburb, but this is insignificant compared to the amount of great BATs you have.
