Halifax,Iowa-A Metropolis in the Making!

[MCO1254 2]

Update 6-Homes, homes and yet, more homes!

Welcome to West Lake, the city's newest neighborhood. West Lake was built around a lake know as West Lake. West Park(The area surrounding the lake) is a great spot for young Haligonians on a Sunday afternoon. Homes in West Lake go anywhere between 300,000 to 1,000,000! 

The downtown Expressway splits into two  freeways. This area is know as the Y within the city. During rush hour the Y is usually jammed with people going to the airport or to the City of York(Southwest of Halifax).

Now lets take some shots of the homes in West Lake:

Above is the future park of West Lake. As I have said  I have me work cut out for me.....

Good work on West Lake. I'm not sure if I like the abrupt bottleneck at the Y or the abandoned houses. West Lake (the lake) looks pretty good as well. Is it manmade?

[ElBarto92 7]

Nice suburbs, and a really like the lake in the middle - it's nice to see something left as it was in God Mode. Keep up the good work..

[rct3twins 14]

W00tage! Some nice shots of a generic suburban neighborhood.

[Schulmanator 5,810]

Nice update. And I like the big lake. Looks like a great summer hangout.

[crazyarchitect 7]

Well, I have to say, a very nice journal. I love the downtown area, it looks very midwestern.

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Huh... aparently I missed the last one.

Now that's what I call suburban sprawl! I get too bored to do that, and I usually can't take the monotony after about 15,000 people worth of it and have to break it up with something.

[sedimenjerry 1]

Those are very nice suburbs!

[fabsies55 5]

nice city again.

nice suburbs very similar andrepetitive but it still looks good.

that lake is pretty cool.

well done but consider so more houses from STEX.

[Hawkeye9 0]

Very nice suburbs and the lake looks very nice!!!!

The only thing I would suggest is try to stay away from the grid with your streets, and some diagnols in there!!!!!

Like I said looks great, and looking forward to next update!!!!!!!

[CocaTertoka 7]

Looking wonderful! The only thing I might suggest is a different water mod, that one seems a little too tropical... Just a thought... Great work, keep it coming!

Update 7- My tribute to Earth, Wind, and Fire (The 'September' Update)

Due to being September I thought it was fitting to put this song in the CJ. It's September and we know that that stands for the beging of school, work and a bunch of other stuff. 

Do you remember the 21st night of september?

Love was changing the minds of pretenders

While chasing the clouds away

Our hearts were ringing

In the key that our souls were singing.

As we danced in the night,

Remember how the stars stole the night away

Ba de ya - say do you remember

Ba de ya - dancing in september

Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

My thoughts are with you

Holding hands with your heart to see you

Only blue talk and love,

Remember how we knew love was here to stay

Now december found the love that we shared in september.

Only blue talk and love,

Remember the true love we share today

Ba de ya - say do you remember

Ba de ya - dancing in september

Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

Ba de ya - say do you remember

Ba de ya - dancing in september

Ba de ya - golden dreams were shiny days

[ElBarto92 7]

Looks like you didn't let the game graphics load completely before you took that last screenshot, because in the top part of the photo there's only ground textures. Still, very nice update - I love the overview shots and the overall makeup of the city. Keep up the good work..

[sedimenjerry 1]

Halifax is getting a lot bigger! And nicer!

Although more farmland could be welcomed.

[SimHoTToDDy 2,939]

You make me wana' work on my urban areas again! I have been so caught up in a new project lately that I haven't had time to make a city like this, but you make me want to put that on hold!

Great work,

-Todd

[pagenotfound 53]

Nice downtown! Love it!

[CocaTertoka 7]

Well I don't know the look you're quite going for, but maybe something like this ...?

Overall I would just suggest a deeper blue, less of a turquoise and more of a Navy... If you understand what I'm saying

Anyways the CJ's coming along great!

[beebs 129]

Great updates lately! That last picture there is fantastic.. I would love to be able to build a high density core like that. Love your newspaper as well! Hope everyone in that Valley are alright.
