Douglas has grown so much that a much larger regional airport was needed.  Here is a look at the new Douglas International Airport and the city that has sprouted next to it:

Terminal A is home to the Airport's only 747 gate.  The gate is operated jointly by the Airport's International carriers: United, British Airways, Lufthansa, Air France, Japan Airlines, Quantas, China Airlines, and KLM.  Terminal A is also home to all other International flights to and from Douglas including those by Air Canada and Aeromexico.

Terminal B is home to WestJet, Delta Airlines, and other domestic carriers.  It is expected that this terminal may eventually be expanded to include up to 8 gates.

Terminal C is the largest of the three terminals and is home to Alaska Airlines, Continental, Northwest Airlines, US Airways, and other domestic carriers.  Alaska currently operates 7 gates, making them the largest airline in Douglas.  United is second with 6 gates.

The airport has of course, spurred the development of many new projects including this large airport hotel:

The faith of this fast-growing city is kept strong in this shiny new megachurch called the "Life Christian Center."  Pastor Charlie Kothe is known for his incredible sermons that have inspired more than a few Douglas residents to greatness.

Agriculture has always been important out here, and it's no different now.  Here's one of the many farms that carpet the landscape:

The Douglas Department of Transportation (DDOT) operates a large transit center here in the middle of town:

The DoubleDorra residential center is the talk of the town with its great design and upscale accomodations.  Units are selling fast, so you'd better get one quick!

Fishing anyone?  Mayor Billingsley swears this to be the spot of his legendary catch, though his friends admit he might be telling a bit of a fish tale!

Again, thanks to all the BATers out there that make this game so much fun!  Thanks for all of your comments too!  I've got lots going on in Douglas, so expect more updates soon!

Your CJ is fantastic. Love your work

Weird to see Lenin outside an American highschool.

On your update: Though I'm not sure about what the neighbours think about having it up so close, I'm glad to see the realism put into it. However, leave some gates open; it'll look more like it's being used then

[JasonB52 5]

Haha krbe, I'll forget I ever heard that.  I certainly wouldn't welcome Lenin into any of my cities.  I need to find me an Abraham Lincoln Statue...  As for the airport, I actually plan on putting a few airplanes out on the taxiways, so I'll empty a few of the gates while I'm at it!

Thanks for all of your comments!  I'll have another update ready in no time!  I'd love to hear suggestions on what you'd like to see!

Great CJ JasonB52. I just love the transition from supertall skyscrapers downtown to quaint towns in the rural area.

^ If you haven't noticed, this CJ is by JasonB52, not krbe.

Hehe, a statue of V.I. Lenin, now you've got some great humor, krbe! Back to the update, I have to agree that hose houses look awfully close to the airport. Even so, that's a very nice job you've done in building it (and the city as a whole)! The hotel located next to it is a perfect choice for the setting. I really like how you did the roads around the church, it looks cool! Nice focuses on individual buildings, too.

I also liked the roads going to that superchurch. I was expecting it to be a grain exchange or something...

[lucky7 73]

wow, I can only repeat myself: cool building variety and the mega-church right in the middle of the fields- are you sure it's not a sect?? Naah, just kidding, but it gives the whole thing a... let's say mysterious touch... . Well, looking very much forward to more,

take care,

lucky7

[JasonB52 5]

Thanks for all of your kind words! I'm working on another update, which will also take place in West Douglas. Think Skyscrapers! I'm also adding a list of mods and buildings to the first post of the journal so that people can look for a few of these for themselves!

[packersfan 666]

Wow, I can't believe I've missed this...I love your perfect use of trees in the farm area...I'm definitely going to use your journal as a reference for my farm areas *drooling

Fantastic work on this CJ. Definitely in my top 2 favorites. Just like the lots you make, nice attention to detail and realism. Also, I'm loving the airport. I downloaded jeorg's stuff but none of the planes or details show up. I also can't get it to function regionally like some of the info on it says it will. Did you have these problems? Anyway, great work. I've got this CJ bookmarked and hope to see more from you soon.

This is a very beautiful city, and a very well-put-together city journal.  I will definitely keep an eye on this one in the future !

[jacqulina 162]

[phoenix7 3]

After reading through your thread, I can tell you have city building skills. I can't wait for the new updates.
