Mattesburgh- Upper Downtown Done!

[marmeladu 0]

nice work....what pop is Mattesburg at?...

[jim 546 43]

It's a beautiful CBD. Just one small pointer, your tag line in the banners should say "A different CJ" not "AN different CJ".

[hotChocolate 95]

TowerDude: Indeed it is, and with the addition of the French Quarter (this update) and Spanish Town (next one) it will gain even more!

marmeladu: Currently Mattesburgh counts with 22.634 proud citizens.

jim 546: I already noticed that. =P I was already thinking about replacing the banner so I'll solve it then.

Mattesburgh is the capital of an European country named Layreth situated between France and Belgium (more details about the country later). Because that there are some ethnical neighbourhoods of close countries in Mattesburgh. Two of them are close to downtown: Spanish Town and the French Quarter - this update will feature the latter.

Here are the latest pics of it:

A nighttime view of the city with the French Quarter seen at the front. If you have some good eyes you can spot Spanish Town in the distance.

The French Quarter has fantastic skyline views! This one was taken from a rooftop.

This is Carper Blvd. at the French Quarter. Here it's an extra-wide avenue.

A road of the French Quarter after Rush Hour has passed.

Yup! You guessed it - Carper Blvd.

This a shot of the small space between the buildings.

An overview of the neighbourhood.

Yes - it's Carper Boulevard again.

Another quiet street of the Quarter. The Brasserie "La Vaudeville" is a popular spot to enjoy a good meal.

And, last but not least, a shot of Carper Blvd. at night.

I hope you had fun reading this update, I did enjoy writing it!

Damastius: Thanks!

Roger51: Thank you!

Hi all! Sorry for the long delay, I've been really busy with real life. For today's update I'd like to take you somewhere outside Mattesburgh: Nahoon.

Nahoon is a city situated on one of the McHare Islands, which are within the European country where Mattesburgh is located (c'mon, keep commenting and I will give you some info about it ).

To begin, here are some pics of the city and the two towns near, Princewell and Haroldstown!:

An overview of Nahoon.

Princewell, a small town close to Nahoon.

Haroldstown, a small village known by its pristine beaches.

Princewell has some great views to Nahoon!

Haroldstown's "skyline".

Nahoon as seen from the sea.

One of the luxury villa-plagued Nahoon streets.

The office area of Nehoon. Despite the amount of people working here, it's very quiet.

Waindrell Park, situated in the town center.

Princewell's Main Street.

One of the more suburban streets of the same town.

A stunning airplane overview of the whole island.

Nahoon's architecture varies from very modern housing...

...to quaint villas for the whealthiest.

The other island is uninhabited, but its beaches are popular among tourists.

The islands are also an excellent fishing spot!

Well, I hope you enjoyed the update, regular updates resume tomorrow, see you there!

Such a nice place for some holidays

Okay, so I'm giving you guys a Forum-Exclusive threat! Here's a Google Maps overview of the island!

           =Parks

It took me a while to finish, but there you go!

[hotChocolate 95]

TowerDude: Yup! Lots of tourists come there every day.

I bet some of you thought this one was dead, didn't ya? Well no, it isn't! I'm back and so is Mattesburgh! Want to know some info about its country? Visit the Cities XL Union Wiki! There you find an article about Layreth and its cities. There are two other major towns there, Port Hawson and Dupont! I am currently building Dupont and, who knows? A new CJ will sprout from it!

But enough blabber about Layreth. Some time ago, as you may know, I mentioned a new neighborhood in Mattesburgh named Spain Town, which, as the name points out, is a small neighbourhood near downtown full of Spanish-styled villas for the rich. Some pics:

An overview of the neighborhood.

The whole city, Spain Town on the lower left corner.

The neighborhood itself is very old. There are a lot of charming quaint villas, and also some bigger buildings, like this one.

The roof of the High School has some nice views!

Lazy and rich Elites spend their evenings blabbering at the pool.

A view of Spain Town from Tellemon Ave.

Park Road crossing with Marinora Street. (Yup, ludmamm - I do have a street with the name of your CJ! ) It offers very nice skyline views!

Sometimes, if you search enough, you can find some modern housing here.

Mattesburgh is not entirely urban. There are many places to sit and enjoy nature, such as the joint of the Waven and Gewyl rivers.

The excellent view from the roof of a home.

Well, that was it, hope you enjoyed. Now I have to wait 'till my broken clavicle gets right. See you!

[TowerDude 2,186]

Very nice job! done with only one hand!

[Damastius 5]

Good job

[Qorten 49]

[jazyje 1]

Very unique and attractive city!

[hotChocolate 95]

TowerDude: Yup - I now have both!

Damastius: Thanks!

Qorten: Thank you!

jazyje: Thanks!

"Dupont (Layrish: Dúpont, Hallish: Dàhpon) is the third largest city in Layreth. It is situated in the east of the country, in a region of intensive farming."

Dupont is still a WIP. Above is a teaser for the next update. See you there!
