Tom, sorry, I was a little tired that day. David, if I did not know better, I say you live in Lincoln, but you don't. Good job. JKB

I've been to Lincoln, NE, and I've got to say, this looks very close to the real thing. We were traveling west across the country. We came into Lincoln through Route 35 wb and ate at a Village Inn we found just inside of town. We kept on 35 going west right through downtown and got on I-80 on the other side of the rail yard. It's fun to look at the pictures and see all of the stuff that I saw on my trip.

Wonderful re-creation, I believe it is a credit to your skills in saying that it not only looks like Lincoln but I get the same vibes/feelings looking at these pictures as I do when I am actually in Lincoln. In other words it feels like Lincoln, amazing! I would note that it is not the Salt River but actually called Salt Creek even though it is really a small river, no big deal however.

    Hello again, David! Oh sweet! I didn't comment on Downtown last updates, so I am going to do right now.

    Hmmm anyways, sorry for the lack of comments lately, you know RL is keeping me busy, but oh well, you too! Even more yeah haha

    Well, downtown is just what I was aiming for, it really looks Mr. Beer job. Lovely, 10/10 of course. I like very much the way you make your own lots, and I love the idea of transit enabled historic roads. With the parking lots, etc, you know. Sweeeeet! And the campus and all the downtown area is extremely good! Really interesting 2.gif

    So, I should make you know I am opening a new CJ reaaaally soon. The day of my B-day : D

    Well, I must do some homework and study for my physics exam. See ya David, take care my friend!

    To asturianu - I'm very glad to read your comments on my CJ... saturday I'll buy my first furniture for my new appartement and the trip to Spain is awaited a lot, everything are okay (hostels, car, plane tickets, etc...) One month to wait before to land off Geneva... : D

    Thanks for your comment... sure that downtown Lincoln is the best I've done, better than Omaha (not difficult) and much more detailled than Baton Rouge...

    Hope you'll prepare your examination very carefully and you'll be successfull!!!

    I'll take an eye on your new CJ, hope to be surprised!!!

    Take care Christian and see ya!
