Recreation: San Diego County

[GreekMan 246]

Thanks for all the Comments!

Sorry for not posted an update for a while. Modern Warfare 2 has been eating up my time....Anyway I pulled an alnighter? or all nighter? and played SimCity. Yes I should have been sleeping but I think I will be able to survive my lone class in a few hours.

UPDATE: The City of Coronado, PART I

Coronado is an affluent community located in San Diego County a few miles from Downtown San Diego. As of 2010, the population is around 30,000. According to numerous reports Coronado is one of the most expensive places to live. Coronado lies on a peninsula that is connected by a ten mile isthmus called the Silver Strand. Coronado houses the Naval Air Station North Island (which I will show you in a later update) and is also a training center for Navy SEALs. In Spanish Coronado means, " the crowned one." When the Hotel del Coronado(the building in the picture above with the red roof) opened in 1888, the city became a major tourist resort destination. It is a National Historic Landmark. Notable guests have ranged from Babe Ruth to our(depending on where you live) current President, Barack Obama(as well as other presidents). Just a fun tid bit of information, one guest back in 1892 was found dead on the steps leading to the beach. She had commited suicide. To this day guests from room 3327 have reported flickering lights and floating objects.....I'd think you'd better call Ghost Busters! Anyway Coronado is a popular place for tourists and residents alike. Enjoy for stay in The Crown City!

Haha, there's that guy fishing his ball out of the pond in the last shot, that's hilarious. At that point, hip deep in the pond, just take the penalty!

Heh, and the city looks fantastic. Looking forward to seeing what the rest of the city looks like!

I love the new update - you've managed to give the suburbs a very mature look - as well as choosing a nice tone for the images that gives a great SoCal feel.

Wow i have not been on ST for a long long time, so i decided to check up on the community and when i saw you were recreating the best most amazing city in the world i obviously had to comment. Holy crap dude this is soo awesome! Cornado is super acurate, i look forward to your recreation of OB and PB and of course the completion of downtown. Sorry i havnt been around for a while and while i dont think i will be returning to sc4 i will definatly keep up with this journal. Awsome work man.

I don't see why people are ignoring this CJ. I mean, all it needs are some Mediterranean houses, but nobody's creating any, so I like it anyway. In the outer suburbs, if you've gotten there yet, you should use a lot of Mattb325's housing, it'll be nice and pretty realistic.

[hijodecordoba 74]

good work in progress here, but why didn't you incorporate the pictures directly in the cj, like before. clicking on all the links is a bit annoying for me.

anyhow, SD is a nice city and i'm curious about to see you rebuilding it. the university and the suburbs looking really good!

[jacqulina 162]

great map there,good start,coming together nicely the suburbs are looking fantastic and the rail system.keep up the great work my friend.

[Mr. Beer 12]

Have fun!

UPDATE: Point Loma (PART I)

This seaside community of San Diego is home to nearly 50,000 people. Point Loma separates San Diego Bay from the Pacific Ocean. Loma means "Hill" in Spanish. The original name given for Point Loma was La Puenta de la Loma de San Diego. Portuguese explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo discovered Point Loma in 1542. Since then the area has grown into what is today: lots of single-family homes. the best known landmark that sometimes represents the city of San Diego, is the old Point Loma lighthouse. It wascompleted in 1854. It was a poor location due to low clouds and fog that would obscure the light beam. A new lighthouse replaced the old one and was placed in the water. Since then Point Loma has grown to become a popular neighborhood in the City of San Diego. Anyway, welcome to Point Loma!
