    Hill: I am going to expand out in all directions from Verona. In good time I will get there.

    MayorTim: On the first post you made, the 4th picture. You may have already corrected this, but if not then your rail system might be screwed up in Verona. The elevated rail station isn't connected on both sides. The one I am talking about is all the way on the left of the picture. Other than that, great city 1.gif

    Guys, I really need help. I can't upload any pictures! I just keep getting the same bug. I got 4 of 9 to work. I really can't make an update like this. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, PLEASE tell me./idealbb/files/p129.jpg

    Here is an up to date traffic map of peninsula. You can see that Verona has grown a lot since my last update.

    /idealbb/files/p223.jpg

    Here is a more close up region shot showing all the streets.

    /idealbb/files/p411.jpg

    a normal region view. Look closely to the right and you will see the suberbs I have been talking about.

    /idealbb/files/p67.jpg

    a shot of Rimini. In this pic you can see most of the suberbs and a bit of the airport.

    I did have TONS of close ups of Rimini, but none of them will work.<ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/7.gif>

    Here is Rimini's airport in all its glory.

    /idealbb/files/p86.jpg

    and a close up of some of the burbs.

    Again, the rest won't work.

    Here is an update on Downtown Verona.
    /idealbb/files/1208.jpg
    here is Spire Park from another angle.

    /idealbb/files/2107.jpg

    The Isola Secara. In recent years this small island just off the mainland shot up and is now a major tourist attraction. Many people come for the marinas and glass bottom boat rides. People also come to see the Forte La Secara which is one of the oldest buildings in the city.

    /idealbb/files/382.jpg

    a picture of the Tri tower park in Verona. It is the 3rd largest park in the city.

    And finally an update! I have done a lot with the suberbs since the last update. Hope you guys like it! I am far from done with the city of Verona and its suberbs though. Hopefully I will be able to update more frequently from now on. Now on to the pictures!
    /idealbb/files/g4.jpg
     
    a normal region view. I am about half way done with the suberbs.

    /idealbb/files/g5.jpg

    And a transportation map. note how it slowly changes from grid to halphazard suberbs.

    /idealbb/files/g3.jpg

    an arial view of the newest area of suberbs, called Catilina.

    again, I had more pictures but they won't work.<ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/14.gif>

    Thanx for the compliment!<ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/3.gif>
     
    I made the Airport with Joerg's Airport pack. It is awsome, but takes some getting used to. It is on the LEX if your interested.

    First up is an updated region shot. I have been working on suberbs day and night now.<ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/14.gif>
    /idealbb/files/p130.jpg
    And todays City update will be on Rimini since I changed the airport slightly.
    /idealbb/files/p224.jpg
    Some of the suberbs I made today include the Great Oaks Subdivision. It was a hit and many rich folks now live here.
    /idealbb/files/p316.jpg

    Here is what I have done with the airport.

    Wow Mayor tim im speechless.  Your region is breathtaking to say the least.  I love your layouts and your downtown is huge with massive building.  I can hope my fledgling city of Confluence can get that big. 1.gif.  Oh and thanks for your suggestions with my Howard River Basin Region.  Its greatly appreciated.  i look forward to your next update.  How many people do you have in your region?

    /idealbb/files/p318.jpg

    Here is a close up of Rimini's airport (If anyone has a suggestion for a good name, please post it).

    /idealbb/files/p413.jpg

    The ForeManns Center of the Arts is one of Rimini's most popular Tourist attractions.

    The airport was really starting to bug me. It just wasn't good enough. So I just blew the whole thing up and rebuilt it. Here is what it looks like now.
    /idealbb/files/p132.jpg

    I think its a major improvement. I might destroy one of the three runways in back but I thought I would ask you guys first. As of now it has 7 runways.

    /idealbb/files/p228.jpg

    A night shot.

    /idealbb/files/p321.jpg

    And a region shot so you can get a grasp of how big it is.

    For the airport name, maybe Verona International? I don't think you need to have complicated names and all.
     
    And maybe you could bulldoze the southern two runways and one of the northern two and the middle one of the eastern runways. It would look somewhat better with less runways, IMO. But it's your region.
     
    Great region otherwise!

    A suggestion about the airport name:
     
    Verona (name) Airport.
     
    Download the City name program and generate fiddle around with the Mayor name part of it. When you come up with something you like, use it.
     
    NB: this is just a suggestion. You are not obliged to take it.
     
    Nice region btw. <ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/4.gif> Actually I've seen this already and like the way things have gone since the last time I saw it. Keep up the good work. <ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/9.gif>

    Yeah, 7 runways is a bit much. I might cut it down to 4. That would also give me more room to expand. Of and thanx for all the comments guys!<ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/1.gif>
