Dubuque, Iowa

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Suburban (or rural, I suppose) sprawl at its finest. Very nice work! Looks a lot like places I've driven by in the past (there's a bit of repeitition across the Midwestern US).

EDIT:  WELCOME TO PAGE 4!

[LE0 5]

Awesome!

Commercial strip alongside Prairie Ave, East Dubuque, IA

I would love to know what store the is with the yellow , or is that orange?? I think its a Home Depot!! It looks beautiful! Does that parking lot come with it or did you custom a lot to have the grocery cart bays in there??

Can't wait to see some more!!!

[Petrovar Ambassador 15]

awesome work david! very realistic, this reminds me of a town near my city. cant wait for more!

[bakercity 270]

David, One word: Awesome my dear good man. JKB

[SounderBruce 173]

Good work on the commercial strip.

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Wow...all that grey and monotony looks kind of eerie...it's very haunting.

In other words great job creating a freakishly repetitive suburb!

[ironicepitome 0]

well that's what almost all midwest cities look like edmonton

[GMT 389]

nice alignment of malls

absolutely like the repetitiveness... totally delivers the feeling of looking at a us city

waiting for more

[Mr. Beer 12]

GMT  -  Yep, long time but it's very funny to keep the control of the aspect of your city! Thanks!

suplado!  -  Thanks!!!

dfnva  -  Thanks! It's only the eastern part of the metropolitan area. The western part would be bigger!

N106  -  Yep, Downtown East Dubuque isn't ready yet. I've planned to tell a story for each part of the city. I've the habit to build the CBD at the end... thanks for your comment and I'm sure you'll be patient

Thanks again!

Raysfan16  -  I've planed to build a small CBD mixed with industries, but yet, I'm working on the airport and the southern suburbs.

Thanks, my computer is OK now, pffuuuuhhh! Very helpful to have an external disk for backups!!!

selles  -  Thanks!

ComputerGuy890100  -  Thanks!

PhilsCafe  -  Okay. It's a good idea too to make a "break" between it. You can see if you want to continue or if you prefer to work with a Bachelor. I think you can make a Master instead you're working?

Thanks a lot Phil and good luck for your last semester!

art128  -  Thanks!!! It's not the part I've worked the most...

Hawkeye9  -  Thanks a lot! Congrats to the textures moders too!

bob3987  -  Thanks. It's not a recreation of Dubuque, also the 99% of my city is imaginary. You can see a map of what I'm planning to build on page 1

fabsies55  -  Thanks! It's very gridy why the city is in the Midwest.

penguin007  -  Hey! Thanks Will. A great discovery these bushes. They give a nice touch.

tahill79  -  You're welcome! Hope to see yours soon!

Mayorm  -  Thanks!

NMUSidey  -  Thanks! I know. My last CJ took place in Nebraska. It was very funny for me to play and I think Midwest fits really well with SC4.

LEO  -  Thanks

sammerhammer747  -  Yes, it is. This BAT has a parking lot but I changed the texture for a better look. This BAT was made by Bobbo62 or Bobbo26... You'll thind it on the STEX.

Petrovar Ambassador  -  Thanks a lot! Where do you come from?

bakercity  -  A million thanks JKB!!!

ComputerGuy890100  -  Thanks!

edmonton_stinks  -  Hum, it's called suburban sprawl... large part of North American cities are build so.

ironicepitome  -  You're right! 

GMT  -  Thanks GMT!!! Oh yes, and this is just the less develloped part of Dubuque's metroplitan area!

Hum, sorry, but I won't make any update this uncoming weekend because I'm going to move into a new flat with my girlfriend, my computer, my pillows and a lot of furnitures... Hope you'll understand!!!

I'm not a big fan of American styled CJs but you have done an excellent job here. Very realistic.

[Mr. Beer 12]

Viles  -  Thanks!!!

Now I'm very well installed in my new flat in downtown Lausanne, close from shops, pubs and all other commercial hubs!

Here is some pictures of the Southeast neighborhood of Dubuque with scattered farms and residential communities. Since the foundation of Dubuque, this part of the city were preservated from land spectulator due to the risk of flooding, until yet, altrough the Missimee River was regulated. Enjoy!!!

Tractor supply and repair shop, Southeast Dubuque, IA

Farms and the "Smiley" water tower, Southeast Dubuque, IA

High-voltage poles, Southeast Dubuque, IA

Residences, Southeast Dubuque, IA

[art128 4,622]

very nice update David, the industrial area looks very good my friend.

Also, the lot of KDCW-Radio masts looks excellent.

take Care,

Arthur.

[jacqulina 162]

excellent farms,great use of trails and streets,very nicely put together my friend.

[un1 41]

I don't ever remember posting here, but I have been following this. And well it looks amazing!

[Raysfan16 5]

Woohoo! That update just made my day.

This just looks so realistic. Can't wait for the urban update!

[saathoff37 11]

This looks very very very good! I live in Iowa and your making it look exactly the way it does. Beautiful!

[SounderBruce 173]

Nice...

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Nice rural update! Did you do any custom lotting? If so, it looks excellent.

[Ntq€310 1]

Your town just looks so realistic! it's a real midwest tribute.

[dfnva 34]

More great stuff, the farms and rural-style industry look great. Particularily appealing are the smaller telephone poles which are ubiquitous in real life. Are they functional or just added to lots you've made?

A very nice realistic small town!!! Great job Mr. Beer, lookin forward to more!!!

[Mr. Beer 12]

art128  -  Thanks Arthur!

jacqulina  -  Thanks!!!

un1  -  Thanks a lot! 

Raysfan16  -  Ah, you just have to be patient! Thanks for your post, I'm very glad!

saathoff37  -  Thanks a lot! You are from which city in Iowa? 

ComputerGuy890100  -  Thanks

edmonton_stinks  -  Yes, but not all (sports fields, ponds, etc...) I often don't need to relook a downloaded one (grass and parking texture are the stuffs I modify the most). Otherwise I build a hundred of custom lots, working as Landmark (with C$$ or R$$ characteristics) or Parks. Thanks for your comment!!!

Ntq$310  -  Thanks!!!

dfnva  -  Hi Dan! No, they are just for realism and eye-candy. They don't have jobs or any particular functions. Thanks for posting!

Hawkeye9  -  Thanks my friend!!!

See ya all!!!

David

[GMT 389]

as always a very nice update!

waiting for more

[antsel 841]

I love the detail you give to all the farm yards. I assume all those silos, storage tanks, etc, are your own custom edited lots? Great work!

[Twenty20 28]

Wow I like it ! that's so realistic and nicely done, I'm really amazed, I'm waiting for your next update !!

[saathoff37 11]

im from Humboldt. Its about 16 miles north of Fort Dodge.

[Nardo69 51]

Hello my friend! Haven't been around here for quite some time, hope you didn't forget me ... But from what I saw on the four pages of this CJ you are still the same crazy space-wasting builder as alwas. Good to see that some great things seem not to change! Take care my friend Bernhard (PS: No Smilies - ST doesn't like my Opera it seems .... )

[Evillions 552]

You must have talent for using the lot editor do you? And why only ploppables? I mean if its to obtain a awe-inspiring look, then its fine with me. Anyways, most detail city I ever seen in Simcity4!
