Sights Across Canada

[GreekMan 246]

wow that is better than mine! i should mix some houses with the constructed houses like you did!

i could learn a lesson from you!

[wishfulanthony 3]

I really love your update! Simple yet beautiful development over there! Keep it up!

[un1 41]

Very nice beebs! I like your eyecandy underconstruction lots.

[sixers33 3]

Been away for a long time, and this is what i have missed. Brilliant banner btw

I love the contrustion lots, looks like it's going to be a very new small town I have alot of catching up to do on previous updates

[beebs 129]

Huge thanks to porter66062 for winterizing the banners! Thanks a bunch!

Update time once again! Doing something a little different here in this update.. the keen eye will notice a small addition to the banner. Taking a jump into the future to see Red River as a bustling city of ~450 000... in the year 2108. Let me know what you guys think and I might do a few more of these kind of updates.. heck maybe even break it off into another CJ. Either way (good or bad ) let me know! Now enough of my babbling.. lets see some pictures!

Woah! Highrises! Well, here's the northern edge of downtown, bordering right along Manning Drive (aka the Trans Canada). There's a few hotels keenly located along this stretch, capturing the through traffic.

A peek in at the core of downtown. You might notice there's a few buildings in a bit of rough shape, most notably Melbrooke Tower at the bottom. The province has hit a bit of a downturn in recent years and has hit Red River especially hard.

Ah and the fated Melbrooke Tower. Plagued with disaster since it was under construction when two workers fell off scaffolding to find their harnesses snap, the latest incident was a raging fire that gutted the building. It's now being demolished to make way for a parkade.

Lovely apartments on the southern end of downtown. While some people might think that's a Kroger's grocery store, it's really a Sobey's. Truly. Honestagod.

And here's just an overview of the downtown area.

Now, where the heck is this in Red River? Here's a flashback to the past that might help place yourself.

Helping at all? No? Not to worry, I'll have a better comparison shot next time I do a Red River 2108 update.

And that's all I got for you folks. Do let me know what you thought of the time travelling to 2108. Until then....

[deathtopumpkins 43]

I thought that was very interesting! I definitely think you should do more updates like that in the future, but like I said in chat, maybe not a whole separate CJ.

Oh, and, I love the Melbrooke Tower. The dilapidated/partially demolished look is great!

[TV-VCR 15]

Wow! Downtown Red River looks great (with the exception of Melbrooke Tower. Ew.)! You did a great job with it!

[sixers33 3]

wow, awesome city! I hope we see another between now and the new year

that last picture must have the largest parking spaces-stores ratio ever XD

Another brilliant update, i see the cities are gradually turning into skyscraper cities. Glad to see you are keeping smaller towns though

[GreekMan 246]

Yeah do it again!!! Where did you get that abandoned building?

but there are no cars in downtown! where are they???

[Zelgadis 638]

Wow, that is one seriously cool banner that Porter made for you!

ISF

[Haljackey 17,398]

Hmm... Interesting to say the least. Nice banner!

Best,

-Haljackey

[SimHoTToDDy 2,939]

Not too bad, quite a jump in growth I might add! I think I would be willing to see a similar update, this came out rather well,

-Todd

[pilotdaryl 25]

It's a hundred years later

There are supposed to be flying cars

[blue sinjid 7]

Eh.... Nice buildings but I just hate how much ''concrete'' land there is! Put more parks!

[JakeMD 107]

Nice update !! Sorry to hear about the 2 workers, and the fire, hope they can rebuild!

[Godzillaman 21]

It's so futuristic that cars are pointless now, but roads are still surprisingly efficient...

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

Umm, future Red River is interesting...  Maybe just to compare it to the present-day Red River... I like the present-day one... Its pretty.    This is like... zee invasion of cement and big boxy towers.

Moasic Awesomeness.   The mega corn field rawks.

Liking the way you do the wiggly streets in your low densitiy residential.

Oh I replied on page 39 already... oh well not to worry...

Nice high wealth res...

Did I mention that I like the way you do your streets...  oh yeah...  I did...  oh well..  I do.

More moasic awesomeness... 

(very nicely 800x600ised...  yeah I checked... can't help myself...  )

Those avenue turning bays are on the wrong side...  what ever happened to driving on the left?

Page 42.

Those under-construction housing lots look great.

Not like.  Love.   Just like Google Earth when you GE Canada.

Now enough of my babbling.. quote>

I have never known you to babble beebs...  twitch the corner of your mouth maybe, slight flare of the left nostril... but babble?  No.

Ouch.

Must be some Canadian joke...  lost on this Kiwi.

No... but they have developed a super eco-friendly bio-synthetic gas made from maple syrup.

Problem is it tends to gum up the spark plugs after a while...  oh well such is the price of progress.

[art128 4,622]

fantastic update Beebs, the downtown (?) is looking really good

Can't wait the next update.

Arthur.

[flyinbird93 2]

that looks great, very realistic how the buildings arent all just on top of each other but spaced out. nice banner too

[Theirishnintendonerd 13]

wow , awsome update beebs! . I like the banner and the downtown area is great!

-Trevor

[un1 41]

Nice update beebs. I think I can feel a spin-off CJ.

-un1

[pcgirl24 3]

Well, this update isn't what I'm used to seeing from you. But that's okay! It's still very good! The crumbling of the building is a neat shot.

Super job!

Chrissy,

[Deionn 137]

I like the Melbourne Building, would even be better if finished.

[ilikehotdogsalot 311]

ZOMG... do you still remember that thread hotdogs? XD.quote>

Who doesn't!?

Nice update beebs, though no nanny-state cyborgs and tidal waves from global warming that I expected

[beebs 129]

Huge thanks to porter66062 for winterizing the banners! Thanks a bunch!

Update time! I had some time tonight, so I decided to do a bit of work over on Spruce Grove. Things are starting to come along nicely now!

As you can see, development is starting to take its usual sprawling form. Pretty soon we should find ourselves at a nice little greenbelt that cuts through the city, made for some high voltage power lines running through.

And McTaggart Rd. The city is planning to expand the road to 2 lanes both ways to help relieve morning rush hour congestion.

And er.. that's all I got, folks! Taking note of response from the last update, it looks like we'll be seeing more through the Time Machine. Whether it's a spinoff CJ or a feature in here.. well that's anyones guess at this point.

deathtopumpkins: I'll definitely look into expanding the city now. Glad you liked Melbrooke Tower!

TV-VCR: Thank you!

sixers33: Heh, we'll see.. I do work y'know. And the last picture is about normal for Edmonton's new shopping power centers.

GreekMan: The building should be on the STEX. And weird things happen when time is frozen..

Zelgadis: I know, eh?

haljackey: Thank you!

SimHoTToDDy: I'll do my best to get one done.

pilotdaryl: Sue me.

blue sinjid: There's a wonderful pond to the east.. we should see it shortly.

SWAT-MEDIC: Rebuild? Demolish.

Godzillaman: LOL. They still use gas guzzlers in 2108!

BlondeTwiggy: Worry not, Twiggy! There's still all sorts of parks around.. just none in the immediate downtown.

abcvs: Hehe, mega-reply. As for Krogers/Sobey's... Kroger's isn't Canadian.. Sobey's is. That lot is a Krogers.. I wanted Sobey's.. so through the use of persuasive writing I made everyone believe it was Sobey's.

art128: Thank you!

flyinbird93: Thank you, glad you liked it

Theirishnintendonerd: Thanks!

un1: Hehe perhaps.. I haven't quite decided yet.

pcgirl24: Thank you!

deion30296: Indeed it was a majestic tower.

ilikehotdogsalot: Hehe, this is no Day After Tomorrow.

[sixers33 3]

I love the autumn trees in the pictures Beebsy

The fauna and trees are stunning! Great houses too, i doubt the pools are in use during the winter though

Another great update as usual, hope to see another before christmas

[Tomasneto 20]

Nice update!! I adore this kind of city..., very pretty!

[Jawzz 0]

Great update beebs! I love that style of houses!

[art128 4,622]

aweome mosaic my friend, splendid suburbs
