buildsolid- thank you for the kind words. and the house is yours. It is a lovely stone chateu at 215 Vista Drive, Northport, Cedardale, USA. It has stunning views of lake Sagtikos, but not much of a yard.

jacquilina-thank you

rusty_777- About the light rail, Cedarville is under attack from the Green Movement, and gave in to pressure to build a low-polution alternative transit option. (many busses have been converted to CNG(compressed natural gas) to further reduce pollution). The google earth image was simple, just played around with the skew level in Photoshop for a bit, but thanks anyways. The traffic isnt too bad at all, but i'm running a radical version of NAM. Thanks for such an in-depth comment. I was actually inspired by Revelstoke and i'm going to take a new approach to my CJ, i'm going to be featuring detailed updates on individual neighborhoods.

Ill be away for a little more than a week, so dont expect any updates.

As i said before, in the next few updates, we'll be taking a look at some neighborhoods in detail.

Mini Update 13.1

WARNING, Work in Progress Ahead!!!

Linthicum Heights...

Linthicum heights is a fair-sized city located in the SE of Cedardale. It has a small, yet very dense, core, with expansive suburbs, and the only major industrial park outside of Cedarville proper.

Lets take a quick look:

wow very nice!

[packersfan 666]

Beautiful update. Nice compact downtown surrounded by residential, and great uniformity of the style of buildings downtown, blends together well.

[danielcote 9]

thats actualy quite a cute little city!

[buildsolid 4]

Great update, love the use of parks and open spaces, can't wait to see what it is like when completed!!

[pickled_pig 7]

I just read through the entire journal. Fantastic use of custom content. The roadgeek-style updates are the best out of the lot, though I've never seen yellow signs that give directions - everywhere I've lived, they are green signs. Perhaps that's a bit different in your part of Pennsylvania.

Just a tip here that you can or can't use, but when you're using SignMaker to make the highway signs for the roadgeek updates, call the exit "Exit 58" instead of "58" - then the "exit" will show up on the signage.

That the "old"-style downtowns in your region are "just for tourists" made me chuckle - I was just up in New England, and that's pretty much how things work up there.

Fantastic update. This is a beautiful city. I really like the contrast between the downtown district and the forests.

[dfnva 34]

Nice update, any proposals to widen the super-2?

[Keegan V50 15]

Wow thats an awesome overview!,love those suburbs!!

all the best

[Petrovar Ambassador 15]

I love the dense residential areas! Keep it up!

REPLIES!, and LOTS OF THEM- Thanks for all of the support guys and girls!

Greekman- thank you for the positive feedback

pakersfan- THanks. I was inspired by Worcester and Lowell/Lawrence MA on my recent road trip for the style of buildings. Glad you like!

danielcote- Cute,an industrial city, well okay! Thanks for the comment!

buildsolid- Thanks. Its not far from being complete, just the mall and a very few more developents!

pickled_pig- Thanks for reading my jornal! I constatly download content that i like, so my options are constatnly growing. Nope, signs her in Da Port are green as well, i just thought it'd be somthing different. Good, Bad?(about the yellow signs) Yeah, i knew about the exit signs, just realized that now, though. I just got back from NE too (Lobsta Fest, Rockland ME?), hence my inspiration for Linthicum Hts.(worcester, mass).

MCO1254- Thanks. The forests are there because very few cities are built on top of Mountains, and i like trees!

dfnva- not at the moment. Residents are mostly commutng to Cedarville via Heavy Rail at the moment, but the leg going towards the city may be expanded as needed, but the east end(towards Lakeville) will remain a super two.

Victor- Thanks so much for the positivity

Petrovar Ambassador- I plan to

Looking forward to the next update

[chrissc94 1]

This city looks great, I like how you built it on a slight hillside. Good job on the super two as well, don't see them often. Keep it up, this is great work!

[Schulmanator 5,799]

Ya know, this is looking quite realistic... very nice indeed.

[dfnva 34]

Nice updates, I like how everything is filling out. Looking forward to the close-up of the mall area.

-Dan

[packersfan 666]

I like the residential area next to the mall creeping up the hills, definitely something I'll need to do in my hilly region, too. Keep it up.
