    Tokomo city: the residential area of Hietalahti

    Hietalahti is a popular residntial area north of downtown Tokomo city. Hietalahti has good traffic connections by metro, buss and train to downtown Tokomo city which makes it a ideal place for some large scale residential development also some offices have been situated outside the allready dense downtown area. Hitalahti is situated on a beautiful location by  Lake Tokomo and has some nice older residential areas with beautiful flower gardens.

    Rantala & Särkijärvi

    First Im going to show few pics of the town of Rantala( previously shown on page 2) and of another town called Särkijärvi.

    rantala2aug071199559156gc3.jpg

    The town of Rantala is a very peaceful and attractive place to live in. Rantala is the 2nd smallest city in the metropolitan

    region with only about 7000 inhabitants.

    rantala2aug071199559227rk1.jpg

    The school community in Rantala is very small and nearly all students know each other.

    rantala2aug071199559340uw6.jpg

    Rantala hasen't got many shops and stores but dosen't need so many because New Harway the capital city of Tokomo  with its shopping-

    paradises is situated right next to rantala.

    rantala2aug071199559794ka9.jpg

    Rantala has got some local shops and banks where you can run quick arrends and do your grocery shopping.

    This is the clock tower and water tower in the center of the town of Särkijärvi which has only 4000 inhabitants the town of särkijärvi

    is actually situated in middel of a bigger citadel called by the same name but that is part of New Harway.

    Korina city:

    Korina city is actually part of Tokomo city and holds the other CBD of Tokomo city and functions as a second downtown.

    Korina is known for it's two soccerstadiums and the large waterfront amusmentpark. Korina is also known for it's

    architecture that differs from the traditional arcitecture in the region. Next to teaser pictures giving you a hint of what

    to expect.

    First time I've seen this cj and I'm blown away! You've really done a lot to make it look like an authentic Japanese region, especially with your selection of LOTs and BATs. I really like the mix of traditional and modern architecture in Tokomo City. Great job overall!

    Mother of Invention: Well I was just experimenting hehe but you have to agree the picture in black and withe does look pretty good

    Victor Valdes: Thank you I appreciate your comments  very much and Im very glad you like the latest updates and congratulations for your trixie you deserve it.

    aiumkastarkius: Maybe if you combine Helsinki with it's two bordering cities they form an region with over one million inhabitants there isn't yet a lot of tall buildings in Helsinki but the tallest ones are close to 100m talls and Im not sure how tall the Cirrus tower is which is the tallest building in Finland.

    jimbo_jj: Well I didn't try to make it look japanese personally I prefer european but the asian style has an strong influence in my region. Im glad you like my cj and I hope you stay around for more.

    lifeless08: There isn't much maxis content around any more when the custom content is taking over.

    fabsies55: Im glad you like it.

    I have dicided that my next update is going to be about Saarinen and there willl be a teaser posted soon Im still waiting for som more comments on the two previous updates.

    eivät puhu suomen? olet kotoisin suomi?
