Green Depra

[ThePeoplesPerson 3]

Wow that's one heck of a mosaic. I was wondering when I was going to get to the end of it lol. It looks great!

[jacqulina 162]

awesome work choco i just love the pond area with the horses, excellent railway,the mosaic is beautifull you do have such a great talent with those pics

[cityhawk 12]

AWESOME JOB once again, choco! I wish I could have me some of that great corn you were talking about! Anyway, I can't wait for more!

[McJason513 1]

chocolatemax285,

your cj is superb! It's awesome. because of this cj this has led me to soon create my own cj soon based on gd. Way to GO!

[Zelgadis 638]

Ah, it's been far too long since I stopped in.  But it does look great as always!  Luv the terrain mod.  Was it like that before?  I can't remember...  I'll have to check.  I have been thinking of using that one too lately...

You are amazing at showcasing the work done by so many of the batters/lotters out there, and your mosaics are astounding. Even if it was obtained by way of overzealous lobbying (which Lord Scarlet should watch out for if those ladies find fault around there) the equestrian center is a beautiful addition to a great looking (if somewhat corn-filled) town. Looks great.

One of the best CJ's I never see ... You're pretty good Choco ! You have a very big talent !

[Tommy_Vercetti3 3]

Awesome. Simply awesome. The landscape looks great.

[owenluby 1]

Wow! Very good work! I definetly love Barton Lakes as much as i love corn! What a great combo. (i'm not sure if that made any sense...)

Anyway, awesome photoshopping

keep it up!

[JoeMeister 1]

"Think Of The Children!"

Great Update Choco,

That eqestrian school looks great in its foresty (I made that word up ) surroundings

Why would the number of cholesterol-related heart attacks be up??  Could it be anything to do with the hot butter??  Although, you did say "On a completely seperate note", so i doubt it !!

The rail station in the middle of the 5th picture looks great, where did you find it??

I like the sound of those, "Private Herbs!!"  Is it oregano??

As i said, Great Update!!

Looking forward to more!!

Incredible, just incredible! Every updates seems to be an awesome ride! So much detail and so scenic. Choco, you amaze me everytime. Fantastic job!

[Yoman3 5]

Great work on the city. I like the stables and all+ the train station and the herb shop!

Green as normal!

[Darmok 34]

Hi Max

How can one not love your pics!

Great care in the making, scenic, green, so relaxing....

That railway station is simply superb and fits perfectly in GD!

Hummmm private herbs.... yeah... well....    that can be a risky business!

Anyhow great update mate

Take care!

[CDI_spy 6]

Gaaah...  I'm running out of compliments, Choco...

This surpasses quality... this is the best CJ ever, I can't say enough...

One comment comes to mind: you select BATs that have the exact feel of Green Depra.  Take, for example, that railway station... I don't know where you pulled that one from, but all I know is that it is colorful and exotic, just like Green Depra is.

Have a good one!

Well, sorry about the delay everybody, but I've been consumed by my new computer!  I got an iMac G5, with a beautiful 20 inch screen.  Amazing for graphics!

Update 42

Today we will look at Green Depra's best and most beautiful sporting complex...

The Green Arena.

The Green Arena is part of the Green Depra Athletics Complex and is located in the suburb of Fur Hills...  It seems to be involved in Green Depra's bid for the SCJU Games.

More on that later, but right now lets look at whats in the news in Green Depra. 

Just recently, a dispute has arrised between The Free Land of Green Depra and The Constitutional Monarchy of Calderwood...

Calderwood is also a full member of the SCJU (SimCity Journal Union)

The Green Arena is a multipurpose stadium and has be hailed as the most eco-friendly in the world.  It has been designed specifically to cope with huge numbers of visitors and just north of the stadium is another part of the Athletics Complex, The Fur Hills Sports and Aquatic Center.

The Fur Hills Sports and Aquatic Center is made up of two centres, the top is home to many public and training pools as well as Hockey, Basketball, Netball, Table Tennis and Squash Courts, while the bottom is a large stadium for large swimming and diving events.

The area around the complex is designed to work well with large crowds, and thus has two large train stations on either side of the station and large amounts of underground parking under the stadium.  The apartments above the stadium are government owned and there have been rumours flying of these being used as Game's Village if GD won the bid.

Thanks guys!

NOTE:  I have had HUGE trouble with this update, my internet is stuffing up AND imagecity is down, so there will probably be future edits of this...

EDIT: Okay, I think its working.  I had to upload this THREE times!!

Cheers, choco.

[ThePeoplesPerson 3]

Great update as always. I love the roundabouts infront of the swimming pools.

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

Well, this is getting interesting now. It seems that Calderwood and Green Depra are both against each other... is there any simple way to resolve this? We'll have to see how things continue...

The work is fantastic. Really excellent! Keep it up!

[CDI_spy 6]

Tensions, tensions!  The Vic Hawk story gets more exciting!

Like I said before, each building is beautifully picked... I love the pure white of the smaller train station and pedestrian overpass... great job Choco, your sports complex is breathtaking!

[kant01 5]

chocolatemax -

I must say that this is one of your most amazing updates yet!!! So incredibly green and lush!!! And the green is set off even more by the colors of those swimming areas, particularly those blues!!

The entire atheletic complex is so well put together, particularly the way you used those custom brick  plazas - they just flow so seamlessly into the atheletic complex.

Also, nice use of the marrast underpass. Does that go to parking?

Great work! Cannot wait for the next update!

[Yoman3 5]

Great job. Oh no trouble in the SCJU. Anyway about the update great work. I like how you showed pics as the area evolved. I rly like the train station and its placement too.(dont worry I have that station). And as allways its very grey...........i mean green.

[hamsterTK 93]

hope they catch him it doesnt matter if someone is saving nature or not, its still destroying property as well as being terrorism and they must be punished. if they truly want to make a difference perhaps they should begin a grassroots movement cooperating with groups like greenpeace or the sierra club and try and take on the developers with legal action. or maybe they are just too stoned to understand that....

anyways, nice work. I love what you have done with the rail tracks

[Jerebannus XVI 7]

Hey Choco!

Wowm it's great to see interaction between CJs, I really like the story and it gets more exciting by the minute. Also your olympic complex is amazing, very well laid out, it fits there just perfectly. *thumbs up*

[GMT 389]

nice athletics complex. very well designed.

waiting for more

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Looks good, can't wait for more!

[Ramona Brie 121]

Did you forget something I posted, Choco? It's a help request. GaBoR would also like to see you.

[freedo50 1]
