Sights Across Canada

wow -- huge mosaic with lots of green spaces...it looks nice with the added little village down south...

[ky72x 13]

The mosaic master strikes again! Very nice, beebs. Great assortment of trees that blend well together. I'm liking the cows, too! Can't wait to see the SG improvements in the next update.

Update time! As promised, I've got a Capilano/Spruce Grove update for you guys today.. they're a little shorter than I was hoping for but it should do for now, I hope. Well, lets have at it!

Starting to move into Capilano Valley itself now, this is one of the residential areas just off the highway. The trees that were left between the houses and the highway creates enough of a barrier to help reduce the sound noise.

A relatively new school to the town, Michener Elementary School is the third elementary in town, created from a booming residential demand. The school is named after a mountain in the Capilano Valley area.

And just a nice overview of this area.

And like I promised, here's a look at the road improvements that have been made in the area. You can see the city has planned ahead in some of these neighborhoods by leaving green space for future expansion of the road networks. A little cheaper than having to buy the houses along the road before mowing them down.

A few avenues have been put in to help relieve increasing traffic demands on the roads.

Easily one of the busiest stretches of road in the town. Expansion has been delayed by the 7-Eleven and Java Hut that sit right in the path of the proposed avenue expansion. The town is hoping things can wrap up quickly.

And that's all I got today, folks! I may have a mini update sometime in the week, but like always our full update will come on Saturday. Until then, so long!

This would be an awesome update if it weren't for the fact that I just plain don't like you beebs

But seriously, good work.

[un1 41]

Nice work beebs! Can't wait to see more.

very nice update, i love your residential areas!

[pilotdaryl 25]

Darn!  I missed your latest update again!

I love it!

[Deionn 137]

SMEXEH!

[Ace_F15 16]

This CJ went from good to great and now it's simply rockin'! And it's not just the graphics you use, it's mainly for me the greenery and the layout. It's realistic, it's pretty, and it's functional. One of my favorite CJ's on this site. Looking forward to more updates.

[edmonton_stinks 5]

I HATE those bright yellow houses, because there's one in my neighbourhood painted bright yellow, supposedly to take revenge on the neighbours, who now have to look at it all the time. I think I'd be more embarrassed to live in it, myself.

Otherwise, it's a great update! Hopefully the 7-11 and Java Hut move over.

[ilikehotdogsalot 311]

Looking excellent as usual beebs, the quality is unsurpassed!

[sEAhAwk fAn121 0]

Awesome beebs! Your suburbs are truely amazing!

*Jealousy*

[pcgirl24 3]

I love this CJ! It's so pretty to look at. The quality of your pictures is really good! I'm pretty sure I'll be back to check this one out again

[cheese91 9]

LOL @ 89

Lovely update. That overview shot of Capilano Valley is really nice.

[Haljackey 17,398]

I always like your work, beebs, don't worry about it!

Nice update! That's a lot of pavement!

[tahill79 13]

nice CJ beebs!!! the pix are great and the story line is going great. the fire was a nice touch. reminded me of when i lived in LA County. i have a small complaint about the newspaper. never write in the 1st person, u did that on several articles. the columns should be square on the left and right sides. when u write about the mayor or any other person in a story use the whole name and title the 1st time u mention them and then after that just use thier last name for the rest of the story.

these seem like petty things but it will add to ure story, u would be following a few of the guidelines set forth by the Associated Press. my girlfriend is a journalist for a local news paper and thanx to the Ohio Air National Guard has been to school for this.

im not hating on ure CJ just trying to help you with some realism. im doing the same thing with my upcoming CJ too. but mine is all newspaper. good luck and keep up the good work!!!

[beebs 129]

Update time! And unfortunately, I come bearing some bad news. It seems Spruce Grove became corrupted and no longer loads. I've tried everything myself and the helpful folks in chat could think of but nothing seems to be able to get it working again. I'm keeping the region in hopes that I can one day find a solution.. but for now, I'm starting up Spruce Grove v2.0. Don't have much so far, but this is just a mini update.

Yes, it's a rare in-progress shot. I've still got some work to do, fine tuning up some roads before I start laying down zones and plopping my commercial, but I do think it is coming along nicely myself.

And.. erp.. that's all I've got. I'm kinda frustrated, I had a bunch of new stuff in the old Spruce Grove I was hoping to show off tonight. But hopefully this will tide you guys over until the weekend. So until then.. Adios, folks!

Cheese89: That hurts, moldy milk. Thanks!

un1: Thank you!

Ntq$310: Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

pilotdaryl: Hehe, thank you!

deion30296: Er.. thanks?

Ace_F15: Thank you! Really appreciate the support.

edmonton_stinks: What are you talking about they're attractive! (Yes, they did move over before doomsday hit. )

ilikehotdogsalot: Thank you, dog!

sEAhAwk fAn121: Thank you, hawkers!

pcgirl24: Thank you! Hope to see you back.

cheese91: Thanks!

haljackey: Hehe... thanks! Glad you liked the update!

tahill79: Well I never claimed to be a stellar newspaper writer. Thanks for the advice though, and good luck with your CJ!

[Haljackey 17,398]

Oh No! I loved Spruce grove! I hope that, someday, it loads for you!

Good luck with Spruce grove 2.0! I am sure it will be better than ever its done!

Best,

-Haljackey

[cheese91 9]

Oh dear R.I.P. Sprucie.

Hopefully you'll figure out the issue soon...and if not, good luck with Spruce Grove 2.0

-Addie

[Kevin 101]

My bad, sorry

Seriously though... that sucks man. Good news is you can fix anything you didn't quite like about the old one right from the start!

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

Ouch.  I had to completely re-render a massive 200 tile region a while ago just to get a copy of one tile that became corrupted, so I could replace it back into my region.

The interesting thing is that the second time around it turned out much better.  

Kia kaha.

(Be strong.)

Edit:  PS:  What is the dress code for the Memorial Service?

[nihonkaranws 88]

I will attend the memorial.

R.I.P. Spruce Grove

Sorry to hear about your lost city. I'm sure your new one will be great too!

Chrissy

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Really sorry to hear that, beebs, but I look forward to the "new and improved" Spruce Grove!

[un1 41]

Oh no! I liked Spruce Grove. Well everything dies eventually, can't wait to see the next one!

[beebs 129]

Update time! We start today in Red River.

Like I said in the last update, we would have the memorial service.. unfortunately because of rain it was forced to be postponed until today, but here is where Spruce Grove v1.0 now lies.

But now, moving on to Spruce Grove v2.0, here's what we've got developed so far. The mall you see here just off Highway 16 is the Parkland Mall, named after the county the town resides in.

There's been a fair bit of development in the way of new commercial around here lately, with the boom times in Alberta. The empty grass field at the bottom used to be populated by wonderful elms, but all had to ripped out after they died from disease.

And on the north end of the mall, seniors residents are popping up all over. It's looking to be a fair sized development once completed.

And that's all I've got for you today, folks! Check back next week, when we delve back into the Valley for a mega-update there! Until then, so long!

haljackey: Indeed. Hopefully you like the way Spruce Grove 2.0 is going so far!

cheese91: Poor sprucie .

Cheese89: This is true, and I've got a few ideas planned already. Just have to wait and see what pops out!

abcvs: Eeks.. thankfully, with only one tile developed in the region, this wasn't quite as huge a process. Still sucks though.

nihonkaranws:

ilikehotdogsalot: I appreciate the condolences.

anik: Hehe, thanks!

SWAT-MEDIC: We did. Thank you, hopefully you like the way 2.0 is shaping up!

GreekMan: I should have. And I probably still should. And what? You lost me with the last two lines lol.

pcgirl24: Thank you

edmonton_stinks: Hopefully you like the way it's coming together

un1: Circle of Life, eh? Well I wanted this thing to be immortal. Thanks
