What is happening? There hasn't been an update for a long time.

I sure hope this isn't dead.

This is my favourite journal here.

    Hahaha!! How much do I love your latest update?! I know it's nonsense, but it's hillarious!!

    As much as I enjoy it though, I can't wait to see this CJ continue. I really appreciate the amount of realism your region has. It helps me to make mine moreso! Keep up the great work lewellan!

    He is ALIVE? 42.gif The Sims 2? Well, I am glad to know that you have not forgotten about you manr faithful followers. The graphics look much nicer. I did notice, however, that there are many more pages than previous. Why is this? I would LOVE to see MORE (and longer) updates29.gif. I am very excited that this the CJ is back (not that it was ever really gone). The very dull apartment buildings do make for a good joke.17.gif

    That is very weird.

    I guess that would be called SPAM.

    I mean why post some sign BAT thing in Digby?

    Hopefully an update soon.

    I was checking on Grande Forkes...
     
    And guess what I saw? I wonder if this is some sort of holiday easter egg embedded in my version of
    SimCity...

    By the way; I just thought you might like to know that your city journal has inspired me to pick up Simcity 4 again.. As soon as I get my new computer, it'll be the first game I'll play.. Thanks a lot for the inspiration!

    Granton's Airport
     
    I know I said we were going to look at the churches in Digby, but as I was compiling the aerial shots of the cities showing were the churches were situated, I realized we need to tell the story about how we get those pictures.
     
    Well, since they are aerial shots, we'll go to the Granton Airport (really just an airstrip) to find out!
     
    /idealbb/files/01_Larry_Landing.jpg
     
     
     
     
     
     
    The Granton Airport sees only moderate activity. It's nestled in there among the local farms.
     
    /idealbb/files/02_Granton_airport1.jpg
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    There may not be airliners blasting in and out of Granton, but that doesn't mean these people don't like airplanes!
     
    /idealbb/files/03_On_Field.jpg
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Okay, so what's the story with all these cream-coloured aircraft?
     
    /idealbb/files/04_Green_Beaks.jpg
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Yup, Larry is a popular guy. And he makes a pretty good simoleon selling his pictures, too!
     
    /idealbb/files/05-Larry_Take_Off_Day.jpg
     
     
     
     
     
     
    As you might expect, not everything about Larry Smoor is completely above board...
     
    /idealbb/files/06_Larry_Take_Off_Nite.jpg
     
     
    So now you know how we get all these great aerial shots! Okay...let's go to church!

    I've never noticed Christmas lights in SC4 before. Your not just spoofing us with some doctored up photo, are you Paul?2.gif I'll have to check out my region of En Gedi and see if I notice any Christmas light.

    By the way, thanks for the little updates. Hopefully you'll get a chance to do a substantial update soon. This is still the best city journal I've read through so far.

    The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older.  Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death."

    Great update lewellan222.

    Aren't those Christmas lights just seasonal props on one of simgoober's BATs? Or did you Photoshop them in?

    Vlakhaas: WTF! That's just wrong.

    I am, as usual, very impressed Paul. I have been reading this journal for i think is almost a year now (since last December). Although i did think that its time was coming to an end, I am very excited to see the East Coast region of Digby up and running again. Do you think you could give us some stats about your cities as an update after the churches? Thank you and continue our fine work. 16.gif

    Explanation...
     
    Okay, before any of you smarty-pants ask, I'll head this off.
     
    You might wonder, if Larry Smoor is the guy who takes all the aerial pictures in Digby, how did we get the aerial picture of HIM?!
     
    Well, remember, Howard McMeenan and his hot air balloon? Well, he's got a camera too! Not as good as Larry's, mind you, but he still gets some pretty good shots!

    As for the Christmas lights on the houses? C'mon, you guys know me well enough...

    It's all smoke and mirrors, my friends!

    Yippee.... nice to see an update. It is great to see the story continue. I love it!

    (btw: I am just as glad to know that you have a real life to occupy your time, so that updates are a bit scarce!)

    (Edit: sorry, the lag on the site. I didn't know I double posted. I thought that it timed out)
