    Welcome to update#9. Bad news to all visitors. I might close this cj if I continue to lose visitors. Only way to keep going, I need helpful ideas. So help me out if you can. Now for update pictures and replies.

    To everyone who commented: Thanks alot.

    no need to close your CJ just because you are losing visitors. I read lots of them even though I don't always comment. I bet lots of people are like that. I've been reading this one since the beginning and I like what you are doing, so please, don't discontinue it. You're doing a good job.

    Always nice to see your update.

    But do your CJ for you, not posts or visitors. Just have fun. Visitors come and go.... but the CJ is for YOU!

    I've had a steady dropoff in visitors for the last 3 months- despite posting more stuff than ever. But, no worries... I do what I want. Visitors can take it or leave it. Just enjoy. You'll get plenty of visitors - over time. Be patient!

    You've got a nice CJ... keep it up!!

    Again this is a small minor update featuring some more signs. I will post the link(s) for the pictures of signs that I post later on in the future.

    First of all, Replies:

    Vilbe: Thanks. I am glad that you like them. I might do one in the future and/or maybe I do an American city.

    Explodingsims: Thanks alot.

    Jacky: Thanks for your support and your visits.

    Granto93: Thanks and I agree with you.

    Godzillaman: Thanks man, No city center, just small towns and cities with there own centers. The white farm fields are actually BSC seasonal farms and yes, they are kinda wierd compared to Maxis standard farms.

    Now for the Pictures:

    mb2sig800x600tw6.jpg

    Stop light assembly common in Manitoba Canada and used in this region (CJ).

    mbwel800x600rs0.jpg

    Manitoba Welcome sign seen at ALL international border crossings and provincial borders.

    nd54800x600po9.jpg

    Common signage in North Dakota and found commonly in the region. This is an example.

    ndco11800x600ub4.jpg

    County Highway sign found in North Dakota and the region. Region of Baker is located in Pembina County, ND.

    wiwel800x600on4.jpg

    Common welcome signage in my home state of Wisconsin (one of two. The other welcome sign is a big / huge wood cut out of the state simular to the Manitoba welcome sign but instead of blue, it is real wood and painted rustic wood brown. I will post an example later. This is on US Hwy 14 in Walworth County which is one county due west of my home county of Kenosha, Wisconsin.) Not related to this cj or the region and I thought I would share this with all of you.16.gif

    Now please enjoy it all.

    Just started reading your CJ (since I'm so new, it's hard to work out which ones I want to follow closely!) and I really like what you've done. The prairie feel is cool, goes well with granto's Newfoundland look and my Southern Ontario look.

    Nice pictures, and your region pictures looks good! We have this kind of sign in Switzerland, but not between every state border... Very nice work!
