That was a fun little update to view beebs! I love your suburban layouts, they're amazing!

Best,

I really like that long road in the middle of the mosaic lined with trees, must be a lovely site to drive through

[frogface 354]

Looks nice, glad to see this one still going !

Heh... you better not come to New Zealand then...  green is the only colour we do (well maybe a bit of blue around the coast!

Yay!  I got two lines in the Beebsy's replies...  I am so special. 

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Nice suburban area there! My only suggestion is to address the jagged edges of the road where it meets the grass. Maybe use some diagonal filler pieces or something.

Looks great!

[SounderBruce 173]

Great CJ! I'm glad I found it!

[suplado! 23]

wow -- nice green suburb cool mosaic pic as well!!

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

Oooo! I like this update alot better.  It is great.  The mosaic is beautiful with the little suburbian houses and spell checker's telling me that's not a word... and the greenness and the trees.  It looks very peaceful!  Good job beebeth.

[TV-VCR 15]

A+ suburbs as usual Beebsy. As I've said before, you're a master at it. (love the mosaic as well) And as odd as it sounds I agree with Godzillaman. Surely there is a Skid Row somewhere in one of the cities?

Chris.

O_O damn I thought Edmonton was going to be easy. Canucks were able to rebound with a win against Florida.

Awesome work on the updates btw! I love suburbs!

[beebs 129]

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

Update time! Lets take a quick peek at Capilano Valley.. I've got a bit more rebuilding done, with a new commercial area to show off!

Ah yes.. Oak Center. Lovingly named for the once majestic oak trees that lined the avenue, the trees were all killed by disease and have been cut down over the past few months. Replanting is starting to occur as well.

Further down in Oak Center, you can see a few trees already replanted. The city throwing their cash away to bring in mature trees, to bring back the classic look of the area.

The eastern edge of Oak Center. Residents still complain about traffic noise. Tough beans.

And an overview of the area.

That's all I've got, folks! Now for all of you whiners complaining about the lack of slums... er.. uh... ehm..

Can I take a raincheck?

sixers33: You bet they are! We Canadians are devoted with our pools.. can't go wrong with a polar dip in -30C weather. Glad you liked the update

Jawzz: Thanks! Glad you liked the update

Nice area of suburban sprawl and I like how the shopping center was put together.

-Dan

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Nice little shopping center you got there! But poor oak trees...

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

Looking good!  Time to go shopping!  Oh wait... the trees died?  A tree epidemic?  how awful   Mature trees instead of planting new ones...  I guess they were too impatient to wait for them to grow.  Now, back to shopping... Oh hey, I want a house there by the shopping center!  Forget about traffic noise lol.  That's what loud music playing is for.  Although, I don't suppose the neighbors would like that much either.  Oh..err... Do I see a DSW?!?

[sixers33 3]

Looks like all the stores have gone with Capilano's traditional blue colour

Yet another splendid update and good to see the smaller areas again. Not many CJs have the unique feeling like yours

[un1 41]

I missed updates...

Great updates beebs!

-un1

[Pocksis 1]

This looks good but there are no cars...

-pocksis-

[ky72x 13]

Pretty sad about those trees, but nice inclusion of them in-game. It's a little funny to see all those clubs in town too. At least they're quite a ways away from the residential area, though.

- Kyle

[simcity4fan12 13]

Great job on positioning those stores. Looks realistic.

[Ace_F15 16]

I like how you cover the ground you aren't using in that pretty included grass, it makes it look so much greener and realistic.

I also love this update, the shopping malls are very realistic to even things I've seen in the Midwest.

Brilliant CJ, I am also happy I found it and I will be coming back.

[TV-VCR 15]

Aww, don't be like that beebsy.

Great update! Sad about the maple trees though. Even though they're just pixels.

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

[pilotdaryl 25]

And I'm still liking the updates!

By the way... will the mayor give me discount prices at the Oak Centre?

[suplado! 23]

wow -- nice small strip mall...and again, you really show how good you are in making nice small suburb area...really like it!!

[Petrovar Ambassador 15]

nice work beebs, i like your mall, very realistic!

[Theirishnintendonerd 13]

nice shopping center you have in Capilano Valley beebs! , too bad the shopping center was built during the economic recession

-Trevor

[beebs 129]

Update time!! Moving further on in Capilano Valley, lets have a peak at downtown.

Downtown! Whoo! You can see the Milennium Square at the bottom (re-built and re-named in late 1999, obviously ), previously known as Capilano Square. The name change was somewhat controversial among residents, many of whom prefer the old name to the new one. I'm sure you all know how people hate change.

The DoubleTree Hotel near the top of the image was one of the first "high-rises" constructed in Capilano Valley.. back in 1987. The Valley, with its proximity to Banff, quickly became a popular destination during and after the Calgary '88 Winter Olympics, with many guests staying in Capilano Valley and driving down to Banff to watch the games.

Oh and you can see the ever attractive NAFMIS Center in this picture. Shockingly, these colors are in improvement over the previous coat of paint.

And a peek down the side of the mountain, with the radio tower in view. No development is permitted up the slopes of the mountain, in order to preserve nature.. as such, growth in the Valley has been skirted along the riverbanks. Great for nature, but ever so frustrating for the millionares who want to buy a chunk of the scenic view from atop the hills and cliffs.

And er.. that's all for today, folks! I may have a small Christmas update tomorrow but after that who knows when I may be able to update again.. things get crazy for me at work from Boxing Day until about New Years. So until then.. so long!

dfnva: Thanks! Glad you liked the development

deathtopumpkins: Yes, the dearest oaks... Thanks!

BlondeTwiggy: Hehe, there's a bit of downtown shopping for you too. Now what the heck is a DSW?

sixers33: Hehe, thanks!

un1: Thank you!

Pocksis: Laws of physics go bonkers when time is stopped.. Thanks!

ky72x: Clubs? What clubs? I have no idea what you're talking about. Those are daycares!

simcity4fan12: Thank you!

Ace_F15: Hehe, thanks! Glad you're enjoying the CJ

TV-VCR: Thanks!

abcvs:

pilotdaryl: No discounts sorry.

suplado!: Thank you, glad you liked the update

Petrovar Ambassador: Thank you, much appreciated!

Theirishnintendonerd: Actually, it was built a number of years ago in Capilano Valley time. Remember, this is a reboot of Capilano Valley so technically, none of the stuff I'm showing you is "new".

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Looks great! I don't think I blame those millionaires for wanting a slice of the view from that mountain...

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

Hummm...DSW is Designer Shoe Warehouse...I don't know if they are in Canada!  I got a great deal on a pair of shoes there!    Of course, I hardly ever wear them, but...*coughmovingon...* Millenium square eh?  I think 'Capilano Square' is more original... NAFMIS?  What was its original color, pink?  Improvement, heh...Seriously, though, there are some colors that buildings should be be painted, pink included...Unless it's a Pepto-Bismol store.  At any rate, nature is being conserved, that is always good!  All those parking lots don't make oxygen ya know... Too bad for the millionaires though.  I'm sure the view is great!
