LORRAINE

[sunrise 0]

Awesome German city. Cathedrals look amazing but maybe you can add some custom content to the cathedrals' surroundings to set them apart like fences, paths, trees, etc.

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

Haha that is fine I get called all sorts of things...(no not bad things!! Lol)  Twigster Twigginator Twiglet... etc etc... Of course this is a very nice looking airport however I am not an airport expert lol... As well as those little flowers in the middle (?? That's what they are right)  hmmm i think i will check out the latest fashion on B7   polka dots are my fave!! If the picture is any indication...See ya later Luke!

[hunkske 53]

Nice airport... loved the newspaper! Have to agree with sunrise a bit - the surroundings of the two cathedrals like quite alike..

Great work though!!!

[pipishere 3]

Fabulous updates hun! Love the Cathedrals and the airport looks fab! xx

Welcome to the center of all economic activity in Lorraine, Panzer Plaza. Located about 11km from our past updates, the city of Khlon is the second largest city in Lorraine and host's over 13 major companies. Lufthansa, Continental, Adidas, Nike, Bank of Lorraine are a few companies that either host a headquarters or a major office complex in the city. Khlon was recently named Europe's most inviting city for new business. The picture above shows the average avenue in the city, lined with parks full of tree's the city is a hot destination for families with children, and eco-friendly people.

Billboard space in the city is at an all time low, and many Block Apartments and townhouses are now leasing the space on the sides of their buildings to host these ads. Fashion has lately been the main occupier of there spaces, with major labels clambering to gain a spot on the busy city avenues.

The city itself is as full of different style's as Chloe' is. The city was heavily destroyed in 1944 by Allied and Axis forces as the city was fought over for about 5 months. Although it destroyed the city, the battle of Khlon probably kept Allied forces from destroying the capitol, Chloe'.

Alike every other major city in Europe, Rail is a very important way of travel, and Chloe/Khlon is no exception. With 6 major stations almost 145 million people use the stations every year, and a complex inter-city line that is almost as busy. The grand canal of Khlon is the cultural center of the city, with many shops, resturants and clubs lining the streets.

Lorraine's Central Business District, Panzer Plaza is teaming with billboards and action. Some of the area's hottest clubs sit in the basements or lower floors of the Two hotels. The area boasts six major buildings, with Lufthansa hosting its second biggest office in Khlon, Continental holding its European HQ, Adidas having its HQ and Nike hosting its European office's in Khlon as well.  On top of all these companies, many major Fashion Houses host not only their stores and boutiques, but also  their workshops in the city, with notables like Fendi, Dolce&Gabbana, Coach, Chloe, Jean Paul Guiltier, and Prada.

The cities noted fashion plaza, the area host's stores like Louis Vuitton, Dolce&Gabbana, Prada and Fendi. Thanks to this area not being destroyed, it quickly drew in Fashion houses because of it's stark difference to the surrounding city style. Most major Fashion houses hold shops in both Khlon and Chloe' making the area a haven for high-end and middle class shoppers. The area is usually the one of the two centers for Chloe' Fashion Week, with most of the designers having both stores and their shows in close proximity.

And a big thanks to carmine for cutting the mosaic and keeping that pesky white line away.!!

Ilikehotdogsalot- Well we will need to fix that Antarctica problem pronto, Have fun in Argentina!

Oceanmariner- Ha thanks for the comment, I think that little park is nice as well.

edmonton_stinks- I was thinking, perhaps the next terminal can be an Exclamation Mark! lol

Dfnva- Ha well I would think its better than the last one, she was a bit of a sore, lol.

Anarchy0029- Ah yes Fashion week, well I don't think that will be for a bit, but I am glad you are excited. Need to go comment in Hypertrophy on your fashion week though, quite a big one haha.

Estaflip- Thanks my friend, nice to see you here, and I am glad you like it.

Patriots- Haha well I don't think she minds to much, glad you like the city.

Owen- Yes I find to that simple is just as nice as those monsters out there.

Tigerplayer- Hmm so do you mean a jetway or a whole freaking terminal?? LOL I don't know if we could do a whole terminal...but a jetway we can pull off for your airline, and Queen. Well there was really nowhere to fit a parking lot, so you can just imagine that its somewhere in there, lol.

Panthersimcity- Thanks for the comment, I am glad you liked it.

Will- Ha well I have yet to even download a parking lot, so I dunno about that, , but I think this last update my of gotten at least something for you.

Psander- Yes it seems like I am just the talk of the town, I know I liked my last avatar to, but after a few days she got really old. Oh well glad you liked the update, and thanks for the comment.

Sixcentz- Thanks, ha those airplanes were a feisty bunch to lot.

Sunrise- Hmm yeah I do see what you mean, actually on one of them I still needed to let some tree's grow so I will need to work on that. Thanks for the comment, think your one of the first to tell me something I need to work on, which is nice because it lets me work on things, haha.

Twiggy- Haha all those things, well perhaps I need something more funky then. GLad to see you liked the last update, and thanks for your help.

Hunkske- Glad you liked the newspaper, thought about posting another this time but to lazy I suppose lol.

Pip- Hey hun, thanks for the comment.

[CarmineHilton 6]

I was glad to be a helping hand =)

&& what a stunning update! Totally loving it <3

Great use of buildings It's HOT!

[hamsterTK 93]

Hah nice "euro-style" CBD with international-style glass boxes.

You really have the look down. I only wonder if some of these cities also have their suburbs too?

[ilikehotdogsalot 308]

Ah, sorry for not being online when you needed the mosaics cut, had to do a few things before the trip. Looks like you and Carmine got it handled though, and it looks great, the ads on the buildings are excellent, well, the entire city is excellent, one of your best I think, the variety in custom content is incredible, a few skyscrapers there, variety of German buildings over here, but it all flows together really nicely. I see the 'secret tree lots' are working on your city I would suggest getting the Uni Density mods by Swamper77, they get rid of that annoying green grass on the sidewalks and could make them match a little better. Great work

[panthersimcity4 162]

Awesome city, kind of looks like Frankfurt actually. Khlon also seems like a very fashionable city, a place to see and be seen.

[sEAhAwk fAn121 0]

Awesome Luke.

[ky72x 13]

You and Carmine seriously have the knack for ads on the sides of buildings, huh? They look very nice, just like everything else here in your new CJ. Great usage of Tonks's recent releases (I've been saying that a lot lately) and of course, I really liked the high traffic levels. The massive canal (or is it a river?) looks good, as well. Nothing to suggest besides what Daniel said about the grass on the sidewalks. Looks like another excellent CJ from Luke.

[anarchy0029 2]

Nice update on the city of Khlon, just one thing I wanted to suggest: Add a stock exchange. DL this mod from LEX, "Swiss Financial Center"(under rewards) the building matches well with your designs. Plus I smell Lorraine being a powerful nation, and I like how you combined the photos of Khlon I can see the streets joining hands from the canal.

[tigerplayer91 3]

NOTE: You better read all of this lol it took me like 5 minutes of my life to type : ]

Uh Amerikaner. I think your forgetting how prestigious the

Kingdom of Patadav is here. The Queen and her royal subjects are some

of the most civilized people on the face of the Earth. Our Kingdom

defines trendy, hip, and modern. We are always a step ahead of the curve and

if we EVER get behind. Well, lets just say Id hate to be the guy that misinformed us.

Ill spare you the details of what happens.

Anyway, back to how prestigious my fair Kingdom is.

You could call it the "corner stone of modern society" quite frankly.

So yes the Queen demands her own terminal and runway for her own personal

safety ofcourse. She cant be mixed in with the commoners. If a poor fate

would ever fall into the Queens hands, God only knows what would happen to the

kingdom. They basically hang on her every word. I hope that if you care for the

safety of the Queen and the longevity of her country that you will greatly consider

at the very LEAST installing her own terminal. Ofcourse monetary payments monthly

could be arranged lol. Well start at 5,000 Patadavians a month.

Well I guess I should actually write something about your CJ lol. This update

is quite amazing if I dont say so myself. I absolutely love this new city. Traveling by

train is my favourite way to go so that segment of the update was awesome as well.

I take the Metra (commuter train in Chicago) like every single day to go see

my friends and what not. Plus my family and I took the Amtrak to New York once.

It was so fun. Ok enough of the trains lol. Your cities are so beautiful Im not

sure if I said this before or not. They give the glorious cities of Patadav a run for

their money. Oh and incase you cant tell, Patadavians are very very modest lol (sarcasm

of course). I love the canal its very nicely mixed in with your city and it breaks up

the mosaic and makes your eye travel more instead of just getting caught up in the

first half.

WOW!

Ok I think Im done now lol.

[patriots_1228 51]

^lol. Longest CJ comment ever.

Luke, this CJ is amazing. excellent photoshopping, both with the cool effect that is on every pic and those billboards.

btw, "panzer plaza". Isn't a panzer some kind of a tank?

Panzer...

Your CBD is nice, perfect size!

[Benedict 3,119]

That is a stunning mosaic - fantastic job.

[Yoman3 5]

Excellent city building my friend. I just arrived back from a train from Berlin and i must say that your cities bear a striking resemblence. Especially the new tall skyscrapers near the old, reminded me of Potsdamler Platz. Youve gotten very good at PSing also, great job.

[sEAhAwk fAn121 0]

I love it Luke! Your PSing is amazing! Awesome.

[bokrif 18]

Such a nice update!

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Schweeeeeeet! Very nice update here-- I am packing the suitcases and ready to roll.

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

Hey Luke!  These are excellent pictures!    I love the beautiful colors & the Photoshopping (pics on sides of buildings )  Oh and I love the mosaic flipped horizontally.  Weird the way it kind of startles you at first.  Oh no problem I dont think I was much of a help lol.  I love Nick's epistle there.  Hope to talk to you soon!

[nihonkaranws 88]

Great city.

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Khlon looks fantastic! The intersections along the avenue in the rail mosaic look pretty nasty to drive.

[anik 14]

Excellent City, love the photoshopping too! Great work!

[Amerikaner 42]

Well its not an update, really just a bunch of replies and my two latest Newspapers, and a Teaser enjoy!

June 26

Carmine- Haha thanks a ton, the mosaic looks so much better.

HamsterTK- Hmm well I suppose I will update the suburbs sooner or later, haha guess I need to start working on them. Anyway thanks for the reply, hope to see you back.

Ilikehotdogsalot- Thank You I have been looking for that mod for a while, I just don't like it because it does all that stuff in the countryside as well, I guess I will need to use it only when I need to, lol. Thanks for the lonnng comment, glad you like it.

Panthersimcity4- HAHA yes I would assume it would be the place to be at the moment , thanks for the comment.

Seahawkfan121- Thanks Clint.

Kyle- Haha yes I would suppose we do like our fashion ads. Yeah its a river/canal, lol I really have not thought to much about that, hmm I will need to work on that. Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it.

Anarchy- Hmm well I dunno if Lorraine will even have a stock exchange, I always figured that it would use Germany's and other major Financial Centers for that. I will need to do some research, yeah that Swiss Bank is really nice, I would probably use that for the exchange, thanks for the idea. Thanks for the comment, glad to see you here.

Nick- OH JESUS THAT is a comment.

Hmm okay where to even begin. Well first off I think our Queens should get together, we could be top Bit*hs. I think I can work something out, although I dunno if it will happen at that airport. I think we could do something at Privi airport, which is more private and where most Royalties and High-Profile people come in. I still need to show it, but I can probably put in some sort of small terminal exclusive to when your Queen and her family come and vacation in Lorraine, lol. Although we won't get out of bed for ANYTHING less than 15,000 a month, lol jk. Anyway now on to the Update itself, glad you liked it. Yeah I like to do trains, I have yet to really do anything with them, so this was a nice start. I think in the next couple of updates we will probably take a train ride to some part of Lorraine, I dunno we shall have to see. Anyway thanks for the ULTRA COMMENT, it was a nice read.

Patriots- Haha I know right! Anyway yeah Panzer is a tank, I dunno I was just thinking of German names to call this stupid plaza something, and that was the first thing to pop into my mind. Glad you liked the update, and thanks for the comment.

Godzillaman- Thanks, glad you liked it!

Benedict- Thanks, I am so glad you liked the mosaic, although most of the credit goes to Carmine, as he cut it up for me!

Yoman- Thanks a lot my friend, I am so glad you like it. Also even more happy to hear it is looking somewhat like Berlin, which is what I was going for!

Seahawkfan121- WOW two comments for one update, YAY.

Borkif- Thanks for the comment, and glad to see you here again.

Schulmanator- LOL glad to see you will be coming for a visit, we will have to bring out all the cat decorations!

Twiggy- Ha I didn't think anyone would even notice that I had flipped it. Yeah I think for some reason it looks a lot better this way than normal, weird. LOL well thanks for the comment, always nice to hear from you!

Nihonkaranws- Hm that is a hard name to type, lol. Glad you liked it, thanks for the comment.

Edmonton_Stinks- Yeah I was thinking the same thing, lol. Thanks for the comment!

Anik- Thanks for putting me in you Sig, that means a lot. Glad you liked the update, and I hope to see you back in Lorraine soon!!

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Great newspaper, and the LIO building is excellent, as well as the city scene around it.

[jayo 44]

jheeze

This is pretty amazing

I love the office district,mostly because its not too highrise-just a little cluster of midrise blocks really looks great against all the w2w stuff

[jacqulina 162]

[penguin007 27]
