History

Oswego was settled on May 4th, 1798 by a person named Joseph F. Oswego. He used the piece of land the canal town now stands on as plantations and slaves worked there before the south outlawed it later in time. Not much of the land changed until the late 1950's when demand skyrocketed. Much of the plantations are not there anymore and in places of them, there is a suburban small canal town. Not much development on the land now, but demand for it is rising rapidly.

The two major roads are Henderson Avenue and Hilton Head Blvd. Shown below are some pictures around town:

I like the use of Oppie's stuff, but you need WAY more custom content than that. The grid is a bit too griddy for my liking, but the use of roundabouts is very eye-pleasing. This looks really good, and I hope it only gets better from here!

[jacqulina 162]

excellent you have moved it here beautifull work my friend and pics great start

[bbfan02 23]

Should I get more variety on my residential or commercial side Topcliff?

[penguin007 27]

pretty cool, i live near a port city here in New York called Oswego, it also has a river that runs into Lake Ontario called the Oswego River.  Did you know Oswego is Native American for "pours into" because the Oswego River pours into Lake Ontario. Its one of only a few lakes that actually run North.

[bbfan02 23]

Very cool, actually I have been by the town of Oswego in upstate NY while visting the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

[topcliff 1]

Both dude, both. It will only make it easier to have a great journal.

Oh, add a lot of NDEX stuff. And some SG couldn't hurt.

[bbfan02 23]

Okay, look at the custom list because I am going to add on to it, and i'm not gonna make another reply for it. "SG" is Simgoober right?

[2nerdy4u 1]

Wow, great stuff. Just download it all!

[bbfan02 23]

Oh yea, how do you change the topic summary? I've seen people do it a lot....

[2nerdy4u 1]

You edit the first post. Im sure you can figure it out from there...

[topcliff 1]

Yes, SG is SimGoober. You simply edit your first post ie the post that started the thread.

[bbfan02 23]

I am also downloading a lot of different farms because i'm gonna include some in the city.

[Dsrwhat316 12]

good canal layout you got there. as soon as you get the custom content into your city, things will be up and running quite nicely!!

[jacqulina 162]

great list there my friend

[sebbyb07 2]

nice list of stuff there, and the city is looking better, i personally prefer the SG or CAL canals as opposed to the one you are using (peg's i think?) but you use them well. Good idea naming the streets as well.

[bbfan02 23]

Sorry for all the delay guys on the first update, I will get it out to you later in the afternoon. I'm still downloading all custom things for it.

[granto93 4]

i like this, the canals are nice but you're definantly gonna need more STEX stuff and reduce the grid a bit.....yuk

[bbfan02 23]

Yeah, I'm downloading a lot of commerical stores for the update today.

[crazyarchitect 7]

looks nice so far, can't wait to see the custom content update

[bbfan02 23]

Here is the first update of my canal city, Oswego. In this update, I added a new residential neighborhood and I added a group of well-known stores. Also, I added some parking for it. Btw, does anyone know where to get like Dick's Sporting Goods and other retail stores like that? The pictures are below. The town is also thinking about getting their first public golf course. But, the vote has to pass in city hall. Also, I downloaded all those custom buildings on the list. The next update is better than this one. Anyways enjoy!

-bbfan02-

The new residential development. (I know its small)



One of the custom houses I downloaded from the STEX



One of the new retail stores dotting Lincoln Ave.



Another one.





The new overshot of the area. I wanted this update to include more things but I was very busy today and I had to cut it short.

[Schulmanator 5,812]

There ya go - looking nice for the first update!

[2nerdy4u 1]

Good work. As you add more custom content, the CJ will improve even more! Good job!

[Skram 4]

this is a nice cj i love your canals!!

[suplado! 23]

canals are looking good in your town..hope to see more houses soon...

[bbfan02 23]

This is basically the last part of the update I released yeturday. I wanted to release the whole thing, but I ran out of time. I added some more commerical "well-known" bisnesses along the newly added Lincoln Ave. I will follow with an update most likely the same time tomorrow. Enjoy! Also, the replies to all your comments are at the bottom of this update.
