    What an interesting journal this has been so far. The hype, the fighting, the nasty comments and all the other crap in the middle. It looks to be a soap opera in here. I can't wait to see the rest of your new york.35.gif40.gif41.gif

    Now THAT's what I call a realistic Manhatthan but some of the streets in lover Manhatthan don't look that realistic but I'm okay with it (But the Bronx is really griddy).

    Just one more thing to say, JasonW I saw what you said on the top about the fact that I was a jerk, and that is really not true, I did'nt have time to think when I posted that everyone just came jumping on me, and now I feel I have to say sorry to the makers of those CJ's, dc82, thebestman and b3rglund for putting your CJ's down I was in a bad state at that moment, I just hope this is the last time we will talk about the past and move on to the future...

    This is getting better keep up the good work.

     

    “The American city should be a collection of communities where every member has a right to belong. It should be a place where every man feels safe on his streets and in the house of his friends. It should be a place where each individual's dignity and self-respect is strengthened by the respect and affection of his neighbors. It should be a place where each of us can find the satisfaction and warmth which comes from being a member of the community of man. This is what man sought at the dawn of civilization. It is what we seek today.”

    ---Lyndon B. Johnson

    It's looking good but I think the FDR can be entered via a tunnel but it's good.

    Sure, you can find a pic of staten island a few pages back, and I'll post today a pic of liberty island, just a note: Staten island is not developed yet, it might in the future if and when I get there, for now I am done with Manhattan and I am working on the area around it...
     
    I hope to join the new CJ compitition in the next few days, and releasing info on the two secret building that you have all seen just a sneak peek of...
     
    Just a cool pic

    Huh, what, oh that looks nice but why must we see Manhatthan when it starts developing? Why not when there are skyscrapers.

    /idealbb/files/Jess.jpghttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files/Jess.jpg>
     
    Kate had lived all her life on the other side of the U.S.A in L.A all her life, sister to two girls and a boy, oldest in the family age of 20, moved to new york with her 17 year old sister and live in a apartment on the upper east side of Manhattan, she moved here so she could start working as a spy... spy? yes a spy well on a secret mission really, for who and how? that you will find out later on this New York 2 CJ...

    More pics from midtown and here you get a much better view of the UN building, more info on the two NY buildings I made and more that I will make will come soon... Now the pic, as said above soon I'll host at SPH but I'm having problems now so...
     
    /idealbb/files/Mid
     
    The UN building is a lot less detailed than the citicorp, and the citicorp building has had many changes done to it and looks much better than what you have seen

    That UN building looks a bit... erm... short. Don't worry, it's not your fault... you probably have it exactly right. There's a factor you should multiply dimensions by, but I can't remember what it is. While I'm not a New Yorker (I'm actually a Sydneysider 9.gif) the pictures I've seen of it seemed to indicate it was more vertical.
    The dark grey one looks excellently proportioned to me though.
     
     
     
     
     
    Also, The space you've reserved for Central Park looks a bit long to me. But I could be wrong, or it could be SC4 distorting perspective again...
     
    On the positive side, that road grid looks like it took a LOOONG time to do. Congrats, I think you've got a bit more patience than me. Good work.
     
    Good to see this getting off its feet. Keep up the good work!
