Allentown, PA

OK, so this is my second CJ, the first one did ok, but it bored me, so i decided to do something, at least in my mind, a little more intresting! in this CJ, i'm going to make the city of Allentown Pennsylvania. You might of heard it sung in a song by Billy Joel, Frank Zappa or Irving Gordon or seen it breifly in the original 1988 movie, Hairspray. you might not have seen it at all, but, Whatever, lol. This is a REAL city, but i will "improvise" a few things to fit the game. I hope you like it!

I plan to do alot with this CJ, pics, stats, graphs and maps.... but first i have to get started....

Below: A map of Allentown, thanks to Google Earth


This is going to take a while! LOL, an hour into work, and this is what i've got, some of Downtown, and a nearby tributary of the Lehigh. i understand it looks like nothing now, but when its finished, i hope it resembles Allentown somewhat! lol



using the map above, i mapped out the 4 Kilometers i'm doing, well starting off with, just the downtown. if i work up the guts, i might continue to do the rest....

Allentown, PA. I used to live there. It's nice geological city. But geographically hard, because of certain areas have elevations. Like downtown for instance. West End slopes downward towards 19th Street. So It's a pain in the neck. But good luck

Seems like a great start. Looking forward to more!

Allentown is a tough area to build or recreate in SC4, the terrain is more complex in some cases then the Grand Canyon , I should know i lived there (in Bethlehem) for a year and half!  I'm looking forward toward to your CJ Photos and Design!  

Don't stress yourself over this City aka (ABE) Allentown , Bethlehem , Easton.

Be curious to see how this turns out. I've never been to Allentown, but have been to some smaller towns nearby in the mountaneous areas.

I am very very familiar with Bucks Co. I also know Allentown and many other areas in PA. including of course, Philly.

Very interesting. I like recreations with google Earth pics so you can compare both. I'll be waiting for more pics

Even though I have been around Allentown, I have never been in it. I would like to see it , on here and in real life..But I guess it's here first..*going to jersey*
