The City Of Encarta

In the early 90's the city of Encarta, located on St. Louis Island in Clark County, was just

developing into a medium size city. It had its very own downtown with a surrounding area of

apartments, industry, and housing.

In the summer of 92' the city, use to strong storms experienced a powerful F4 tornado which

slammed into the downtown part of the city. It struck around 5pm when many workers were

preparing to leave there jobs and call it a day.

When the tornado finally faded out, leaving the city, it left a large area of destruction. Much

of the downtown area and surrounding buildings were heavenly damaged. The death toll rose

to over 35 people. The city was quick to draw up new plans for the city.

The city had decided to tear apart most of the remaining buildings in the downtown

area due to heavy damage. This picture was taken by the Kmec News 2 team

as the St. Peters Mercy Hospital was torn down.

As the remaining area was being torn down, the city had set a task of a group of architects

to design what the new downtown might look like. Construction began right quickly after.

DOWNTOWN DISTRICT

The city grew rapidly over the next 15 years and soon became one of the best ranked downtown

areas in the country. Two of the worlds tallest skyscrapers were built in the city.

This snapshot shows the new downtown living areas built withen

walking distance to many of the major office buildings. The downtown area alone has a population of over

145,000 sims.

This image shows the cities recreational area which contains

2 ice rinks, a large Olympic size swimming pool, 6 softball fields 2 soccer fields, 5 tennis courts, and city zoo.

An Expanding City (Hopefully Fixed)

The city continues to expand taking up more and more of the island.

This picture shows the city and its new river development.

This picture shows the cities second business district known as the Frontnac District. The city continues to build these high rise districts around the island bringing in more jobs and more residents to the city and surrounding area.

This image shows one of the nicest business districts in the country. It's known as the Highland District. This new district offers a lot of jobs and is also environmentally friendly.

This snapshot shows the Highland District at night. It truly is an impressive area.

This picture shows the cities latest and largest shopping center, Chesterfield Plaza. This new mall is one of the largest in the nation and is a great mall for all kinds of entertainment.

DOH! I can't see the new pix.

[belfastuniguy 18]

You need to convert you images to JPEG before posting as most people have internet explorer and thus can't view the maxis default png format. I just loaded this page on firefox and they appeared, so you need to convert them.

I like the buildings along the shore, maybe develop the area around it so it doesn't look so contrasted. But good work
