[BlondeTwiggy 43]

just one pic?

very nice though

Love the diagonal avenue with the road (one way street?) going into it at the angle (O_O)

[dfnva 34]

Nice stuff... I like the mixture of building like the clocktower and commercial buildings, the residential area, and the park with the monument. It reminds me of VA-236/Duke Street entering Old Town Alexandria, Virginia.

[SounderBruce 173]

Very nice, simple, peaceful town...

[buildsolid 4]

Nice picture, looks like a great small town. Btw, lets hope this lasts longer than the other two, its kinda hard trying to keep up

[Mayorm 14]

great start bluemoose

[DITRO 15]

Great pic. I like the variety of building styles and sizes.

[Raysfan16 5]

That's pretty cool with your take on the downtown/residential transition. You pulled it off pretty well. Lol @ Dan's reply, he might be the only one that knows what intersection that is... Anyways I am looking forawrd to more!

So much great stuff here. The campus looks great. I also like the realism of how you split the avenue into one-ways in old town Byrmingham. I also like the zoomed-out pic where you have the highway/RHW on the outskirts of downtown, quite good for realism.

Great little town, has a great vibe towards the area. and the Uni area is nice and open. The new downtown is also amazing how each building fits in with the other one, well done.

Good to see you're back in the CJ world, bluemoose! Byrmingham is beautiful - from downtown and its waterfront to the university to the suburbs, not one building or lot looks out of place. You're doing a great job - keep it up!

Great looking city, bluemoose! I love the little suburbs sprawling out!

[SounderBruce 173]

Good work, bluemoose! Where did you get the spiral parking garage on Front Street?

[buildsolid 4]

Nice name change, it suits the cj. And a wonderful showcase of the city.

[dfnva 34]

Interesting stuff, I loved the drive through. I like how US-17 realistically turns onto several different streets as a major route would often do in a city.

-Dan

[DITRO 15]

[PhilsCafe 8]
