    Sorry for the lack of updates lately guys, just got a new job and it's getting me more then 50 hours a week so i haven't had much time to work on this journal. Now that it's the weekend I can get some more work done on it.

    Well anyway here are a few pics in the meantime.

    Whiteshark65, You have done a lot since the last time I visited. Outstanding Super, Incredible job. What a great city journal. You should be proud of your work. I must say that this is the perfect city journal in my opinion. If there is a contest or vote or something, I'll definitely vote yours. Incredible job. It's unbelieveable. The maps are extraordinary. Excellent Job. I can't wait to see more. Keep It Up Whiteshark.

    I try to name as many streets as possible. Most of the small towns have every street named, as well as every street downtown. Beyond that every road, anevnue, and one way road has a name as well.

    I just discovered this CJ - the map is so original and the desert mod really gives it a great look. I must go and get it. And I really like the way you build your cities, it has inspired me! I will come back for more.

    Nice, as usual. I imagine that the water there dries out in a matter of minutes and will have to always have water pumped into it. You also named that golf course the same as one of my cities. Great Job 44.gif

    The climate of the planet where Crystal Junction is built upon doesnt have any winters, except for rainy seasons in the north and south. Crystal Junction itself is built within the tropics of Frontier Point (The planet name it's built on). The lowest temp ever recorded in Crystal Junction was arround 58

    City Update 18:
     
    Crystal Junction continues to grow at a rapid pace. The metro area is already on the verge of breaching 300,000 with 294,700 living within the Crystal Junction Metro Area, and 262,500 live within Crystal Junction city limits. The city is growing at a rate of about 2,500 to 4,000 per year, and is expected to hit 300,000 within the next year and three months, and 350,000 within the next 15 years. The growth of the city has now been primairly in the west, whereas in the past the growth was in the north and east. The suburbs have already creeped 3 miles more towards the west. Crystal Junction now has a young skyline with 2 skyscrapers as well.

    if i was you i would choose plan C it doesnt cost too much and it connect F-11 and F-48 together also it can be expaned without moving bussiness and people...but if you want to want to spend more money than i would go with plan E.
     
    btw that airport looks amazing!! i cant wait to see what the next one will look like when you have to build a new one!! hehe
     
    also the temps and weather is more like the temps the that i would like... but i hate the rain but those rapids on the Limstone and Crystal sound nice to whitwater raft through, it would be almost like the Colorado!! hehe
     
    keep this CJ up shark!!

    i would say E, C or D.... in that order. E first choice...etc etc

    although i think once south of the river it should take A's path, if using C or E plan
