Once again I am making an attempt to create a city journal for the St. Louis Metropolitan Area.

Here are some Quick Facts as of 2006.

St. Louis today has a population of around 355,000 people and is finally beginning to grow for the first time since 1950.

Whoa, that looks like a big undertaking! I wish you good luck, and as much realism as possible! Leonardo

Just a note that this region is going to be as real as I can make it. I don't know nearly every road or what every area is like in the area so this is basically all from out of my head or using a map. One of the big mistakes to point out on my own is that 270 to the north does not exactly cross their and the islands themselves are a bit messed up but I plan on fixing those in the future. Other note, the city of Florissant to the north, is built off what I've seen on maps and to what I remember of my few times being in that area.

My next area that I plan on completing will be Northwest County, (Northwest St. Louis County) Which will consist of Hazelwood, Bridgeton, and Maryland Heights. You can expect to be seeing city shots next of St. Louis, North County and Florissant.

This one looks great, especially the transit region pic. I can never get those suburb style (if you know what I mean) road layouts to work well. Keep it up

Wow! Nice start! I image that the south part of St-Louis was not easy to do due to the hills... Hope you'll do the Illinois part of the metro!

Cheers mate!

Finally here are some pictures of St. Louis itself.

Downtown

The Gateway Arch

Forest Park / Central West End..

-St. Louis Children's Hospital is currently not in my city but you can expect to see it coming soon. I don't know how I forgot it but I will surly put it in there.

Futuristic!- Bottle District

-in the picture you can see one of the 3 new highrises going into the bottle district. The tall one in the middle, The Bottle District Residential Tower III- supposed to be a little over 630 ft. which is the current height of the Gateway Arch.
