    Krio - The green mid-rise building next to Coca Cola is a HK bat. So look up HK in the STEX and it should be near the top, it is pretty recent.

    Very nice region, although I think the coastline should be made more craggy to give it a real look. Keep it up!

    I should tell you that I have made a new airport because I and a few other people I have talked to on the chat don't like the original airport that much. The original airport is still operating in Finchaven but will be bulldozed soon to make way for a luxury housing estate built around lakes and a golf course. My next update will be on this topic. I will post a picture of the uncompleted new airport soon. But now all you can do it wait anciously. I hope that is spelt right30.gif

    Hope you can't wait!

    I love the way your city looks. The pics of the golf course housing estate is very typical of Melbourne and the red roof houses in the same picture remind me so much of Sydney. I'll have to keep an eye out for this CJ! PS: the only thing you could do to make this CJ more like Queensland is to built some canal estates... Like what i'm seeing so keep up the good work!

    Better than the other one, but maybe you could get some longer runways. Very good CJ!

    I have decided not to do an update on the new airport and the old airport getting destroyed because I am working on a historic area in Finchaven city and I wanted to do something on that. So the next update will be on the Historic Precinct.

    Historic Precinct

    This update will be showcasing the cities older, more historical side. Most of the historic buildings are scattered throughout the city but where they are concentrated is in the east of the city near the bridge.

    This is the old City Hall which is away from the actual Historic Precinct, but is quite old.

    CityHall.jpg

    This is the first settlement that Greater Finchaven grew from.

    OriginalLanding.jpg

    These are some row homes which are an example of the old 'urban sprawling' that occured in Finchaven. Some newer homes have been built on the old farmland. This is what the suburbs of Fincaven used to look like before higher and bigger buildings were built in th 1800's.

    Rowhouses.jpg

    This is the old downtown which has recently been shadowed by very tall skyscrapers. Some new buildings have been built where some empty land was because of the commercial demand, but some people think that it was bad to build ultra modern buildings in a historical area.

    OldTown.jpg

    This is the old museum which has expanded recently and they built a modern building behind it which acts as a museum aswell.

    Museum.jpg

    This is an old church which is now under newer buildings, like every other historic building in the city.

    Thanks for visiting my CJ. Please leave a comment about it.

    I want your sidewalks/footpaths! A nice blend of old and new in the historic area. The airport is also impressive.

    looking forward to further updates.
