Some good news and some bad news:

Bad News: A serise of tornados swept through my area (Kenosha County, Wisconsin) kind of disrupted my internet service Monday evening. The good news is that it is all over and I have internet connection and aan update I promised will come very very soon. For more information on the tornados in my area, please visit www.WISN.com and the story is on the front page or visit www.kenoshanews.com for local coverage. Anyhow, Welcome to Page 7. JKB

The new pics are nice. That baseball stadium pops right out of the screen... looks so 3D... am I wearing those 3D glasses again? Awesome!

[bbfan02 23]

I love the new rural highway interchanges and the new farmland zoned. The little villages look great.

I see you've downloaded the new RHW, and subsequently discovered one of it's limitations, that you can't build rhw bridges over other networks, but looks good, the ramps definitely look better than those using one-way roads as I've found out.

I guess my one recommendation (despite the true flatness of Iowa) would be to use on-slope puzzle pieces for your bridges.

As always, you've got some good rural scenes.

Keep up the good work,

Dan

Update#13 Part Two is here.

First a reply:

Connorc24: Welcome and thanks for the comment.

Now the City of Glenrio officials will be take us on a tour of their great city. We now join them in the Glenrio Tours aircraft.

The history of Glenrio is most of our founding fathers came from Glenrio Texas and New Mexico along the Old US 66 and moved to here in Iowa to start anew. In the 1930's and 1940's, Glenrio, Iowa only had a population of 20 and farms galore. Now Glenrio has a population of about 25,000 including the small farming community of Maplewood. Now onto the pictures: 

Farming community of Maplewood. (I forgot to demolish the SAM starter piece).

Eastside Interchange. Iowa State Highway 8 and Maplewood Road. Iowa State Patrol and Brown County Sheriff's Department are stationed here.

Home Depot Interchange. Iowa State Highway 8 and Tombstone Road.

Downtown Interchange. Iowa State Highweay 8 and Main Street. With Glenrio Blvd. next to the park and train Station.

Glenrio Power Plant before it moved. The fuzzyness is for security purposes.

New location of Glenrio Power Plant at Eastside Interchange on Maplewood Road. A feww hundred feet from the Sheriff's Office and State Patrol.

Northside Redevelope Project and Brownsite. Former location of the power plant.

Thank you for taking this tour and we will be heading back to the airport in Wayne. Have fun and thank you for visiting Glenrio, Brown County, Iowa USA. JKB

Here is a Teaser shot to tie all of you over for awhile:

[gabry85 2]

Nice town, it definitively has the feel of a realistic Midwestern town!

[tomdapom 79]

What an awesome looking town! Just one thing, take pics at full resolution. Then we won't get the stretched look that all your pics seem to have.

[JaWood 194]

It has a great wall2wall feel that fits the style of the town well. Looking fantastic!

[Hester 700]

Gosh, whatta question :-) Who is better?  Hmm...well...dunno.  Seriously though..you have your style and do it VERY well..he has his style, and same thing..he does it very well.  So, I'd say you're in a dead heat!  :-)  Did I get out of that one pretty well?  :-)

[Hester 700]

Come out come out wherever you are :-)

(I am kidding..I know RL can be a deal breaker when it comes to CJ's.)

[bakercity 270]

To everyone wondering where I have been lately: I have been busy with work and a new game that is in reality made in 1993, called SimFarm. When I get done here, I am going to work on getting the pictures for the next update and will post tomorrow (Monday) as I am off work (day off). Until then, Have fun and thank you for your patience. JKB

[bakercity 270]

Update# 14 is finally here. Hester: You did get out of that one and RL does get tough though.

Now for the pictures:

Wayne International Airport expanded with a bigger terminal and a new runway- 27R / 9L.

The Vllage of Chasity, Iowa.

The unincorporated town of Guartown, Iowa.

The City of Twin Lakes, Iowa (center) and City of Pequot Lakes (top left).

This is an old photo of Wayne. I have redone Wayne as the textures of the old photo were going as you can make out. Plus the population was wayyy out of propotion to the area I am trying to create. Wayne now looks like this......

Introducing the new and improved and revamped City of Wayne, Iowa. More will be on the way soon. Thank you for visiting Brown County, Iowa USA (Home to Cities in Farmfields). JKB

[bbfan02 23]

You should make all of your pictures 800 x 600. Great rural pictures. Great little settlement. And fanastic unincorporated city!

[Schulmanator 5,799]

Nice work, Jon! Hafta say that you have a lot of great rural spaces with a nice center tucked in. I like the combination of straight and off shapes, giving it an organic and more realistic feel. Your updates are worth waiting for.

Beam me down to Brown County!
