Nathan, you've got a heck of an imagination -- love it! I think the stories are sometimes as cool as the cities. :) ... Keep it up.

    Housing development?

    Looks promising, whatever it is.

    @kj3400: Ehhh not really. But very close.

    Sorry once again for the late update(RLS again). But anyways, today we will explore in a short tour some of the Suburban Subdivisions of Marygolda-A outlying town of Boston, with about 23k people.

    Enjoy!

    Today we will take a small tour of Farmington.

    Here is the downtown area. I tried to make it look kinda Fresno-style(I.e. 10-20 story buildings), and actually turned out pretty well. Notice a UCCRL "B" line train going by.

    Here's a mix of suburban and farming on the outskirts of the city:

    ...and a little tourist attraction here:

    See you next time!

    This is kind of going to be an update on my RHWvolution project. At the moment, I have upgraded approxamately(Guess) 70% of my region's Maxis Highway to RHW standards, and unfortunatly there are a lot of spots I can't upgrade due to space restrictions, slope, or limitations of the RHW itself(Diagonals, interchanges, etc).

    But, I still have hope that when the new version is relased that I can complete this project.

    Anyways, a new section i have upgraded recently is part of the Hwy. 465 tollway, which although is only 3.8 miles long is very important because it allows commuters to transfer from Hwy. 65 and go directly to Hwy. 26 without taking the Inland Tollway. Although it is a toll highway, the toll charge is barely that high. Note that the Hwy. 65/Hwy.465 interchange is partial due to slope problems and the fact that a Hwy. 465-Westbound Hwy.65 would be illogical. This section took a while to upgrade due to slope problems and lack of space, but after 2 hours of frustration, I finally got it.

    So, hope you enjoyed this short update, and see you next time!

    (I'll combine the replies from the last update with the next one)

    Hey everybody hope you(Americans, at least) had a good Thanksgiving, and I am sorry to say that this CJ will be on hiatus until furthur notice. The reason is that problems with my normal computer(The one with SC4 on it) have preventing me from playing it, and I am trying to remidy the situation right now. However, although the other one(I'm typing this on it, btw), it doesn't have the space to install any programs. So until I say so, this CJ will be on Hiatus mode, although at the moment I think I have a remedy for the normal computer, so I hope to get this back up and running by this weekend, if possible.

    Your conversion to the RHW has inspired me to play around with it while I work on my airport area.

    It looks good running through the center of town, you've done a great job using the off ramps and the toll booths.

    @SimCoug: I kinda have them solved right now...

    @Fox: Thanks!

    Well, I am putting this CJ back in action as now I have SimCity 4 on my "new" computer, and although it is a little choppy, it works well. So, I am back to work with SimCity, and here's an update.

    Today, just a small tour of Tuscaroa City. Please note photo quality is not that good because I am still experimenting with my graphics settings. Also no fancy photoediting for the next few updates, as GIMP is not on this computer.

    Well that's it for this update and stay tuned, as I have a ton of exciting stuff to showcase in the next few weeks!
