Rewright: this is a breathtaking journal; it's shining with originality, the pics, the photoshopping, the development (downtown Halifax with the avenues and monorail: fantastic), the use of Jeroni's walls, and especially the newspaper style: you're doing a great, great job!

    Halifax continues to spread westward toward the far side of the island. Mass transit and high density buildings help to contain sprawl and congestion.

    A center piece of the economy is the Medical Center Research Complex.

    Some great updates. Halifax has really been growing (up AND out) but I see you are still keeping some open forests for your sims' enjoyment.
     
    Keep up the good work 1.gif

    The South Bay city of Southbridge continues to attract new residents with it's many beautiful views of the bay and easy commute into Halifax.

    One of the newer developments is Baily's Bluff, a mixed use development of single family homes, townhouses and offices.

    One new business has caused a bit of a stir in the surrounding neighborhoods. Hooters newest outlet is both popular and controversial and city hall has received numerous complaints asking for their license to be revoked.

    The department of motor vehicles has established their regional planning and engineering offices just across the harbor in Brandon. The unique design at the mouth of the Irongate Tunnel sits astride the freeway. Soon to come will be a large construction and maintenance facility at the sight.

    Sorry for the absence of posts; I've been traveling for the last week and a half. I should have a large update in the next 24 to 48 hours. Been working on some southern expansion and it has produced some interesting development.

    Jamestown is located across from the southern tip of Halifax Island and is a major transportation hub. It climbs up the Inland Mountain Range foothill and has extensive wall and tunnel work

    Here is an overview of the area. Detail later.
