As I said before, I really like the background of all your descriptions, such as the explanation of the ghetto or the subway near the beach, as well the the potential redevelopment projects. Those types of things always give places a sense of reality. And the pictures look great now! If you smooth out some of the bumpiness in the roads (place single road tiles next to each to flatten the land, and use the BRF slope mod to get gentle slopes. Otherwise it's coming along nicely!

And welcome to PAGE 2!!

Wow a page two. Now this is exciting!

 

I expect to do a real update tomorrow (I was in San Francisco all day yesterday, so I could not get crackin' on my region).

 

For now, a few replies:

 

newyorkrunaway1: Thank you!  I'll be messaging you for the flashy pride sign.

 

jacqulina: I agree.  I'm looking towards a nice combination to add a bit of variety to the mix.

 

oroen: Thanks for the tips and encouragement!  I've been going back to my cities and doing housekeeping-and leveling the streets is up there on the list of things to do. 

 

 

Hopefully, I'll have time tomorrow to do a post.  Stay tuned!

With the immediate crisis of the earthquake over, residents are now picking up the pieces of their shattered lives.  The once vibrant commercial area is now a depressed area, as so many workers lived near to their jobs that were destroyed.  The roads have been cleared of debris, but the damaged and destroyed properties remain.  The Attorney General

Reconstruction and Rebirth.

It's been almost a year since the tragic earthquake of Rio del Mar.  The physical scars have mostly been erased, although the western end of the area still remains in an economic depression.  Cesar Chavez park has been turned into a small lake (largely because of the pit left behind after the excavations of the debris).  Reforesting efforts are in place as well, to provide a scenic escape from the office.  Several large corporations have bought up space on the eastern end, which was spared from the hardest of damage.

The waterfront of the Cruz Memorial district (remaned after the store owner killed in the collaspe of the boutiques).  Against massive opposition from business owners, who pictured a massive development project of waterfront shops and promenades, the city council instead chose to reforest the area.  Thousands of seedlings have been dropped in the program, which plans to extend its efforts to more of the coastline in Rio del Mar (although a plan with local business leaders accepted a 20-30% coastline development improvement project). 

 

 

A closer shot of Highway 1 (it loops around most of Rio del Mar's bay).  Environmentalist groups are estatic that the city is continuing its history of conservation.

That's all for now.  I'll be on vacation starting tomorrow until the weekend, so no updates until I return.  Thanks all!
