Looking great!

[Sabretooth78 808]

Looking good.  I enjoy journals with this style of development.

Great CJ, really like how you work with the terrain. Question; for example those large shopping centers; do you plop or grow them?

[Hester 700]

I am so glad that you have carved out the time for your CJ when you are able.  We could never ask for more than that.  Wonderful and lovely towns and surroundings with a good story.

The "Flats" Interchange reminds me of "trumpet mitosis" in Bennington, VT:

 

[Schulmanator 5,815]

Nicely done. It is a great area in which to live or work

[RipRap 4,400]

That's one big interchange you have there. , anyway, looks great. I like the bridge crossing very much; reminds me of San Francisco or Tacoma

[bakercity 270]

First of all, Happy Memorial Day everyone. This is for replies only. An update will come this weekend coming up.

Sabretooth78= The Flats interchange does look similar, but it also differs from the one in Vermont.

Shulmanator= Thanks. Seems like all my towns and cities are like that, nice places to live and work in.

Tonraq= Yes it is big, I plan on redoing it, but I am keeping the same layout, but smaller. The bridges are nice and to me it looks like any other water crossing, but thanks for the comments. Until this weekend, enjoy your visit to Region of Salem. JKB

Nice new town. Enjoy your reign as #1!

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I like that place.  How are property taxes?  Nice and low?  Are they looking for new teachers?  I'd be happy to move in and do that!

[bakercity 270]

Welcome back to Region of Salem. I have unfortunate news regarding my truck driving job, as of yesterday (June 16th, 2015) I was fired for posing a safety risk regarding the equipment I was responsible for. I will have an update ready by this Friday.

Replies:

Schulmanator= Thanks and I did enjoy my short reign.

NMUSpidey= I am glad you like North Gurnee. The school is looking for new teachers for the new school year this September and the taxes are low (around 3%) and I do have a property for sale or rent and it is located next to the library and behind the fire station.

Until Friday, enjoy your visit to Region of Salem and Ludlow District.         JKB

[Hester 700]

Yes, I do love the night views.   *I* hardly see them and that is because I am not around very much I'm sure.  So when I do, and they are so well done, I appreciate them.

[Schulmanator 5,815]

Great looking new areas! And best of luck with your next job

[bakercity 270]

I have a surprise for all of my readers and followers and it is two teaser pictures of what will be shown in my next update.

Enjoy and see you all next time.             JKB

Are those cloud shadows or waterways?  If cloud shadows, that's awesome.  If water/lake, that's awesome too.  :-)
