    Yes, yes, yes... I know that it has been long time ago when I posted last update, but... Well, I had quite a lot to do - I finished my studies (actually, just one step in a long way...) got a Bachelor's Degree in political science and even received a Principal's distinction for my work in the field of specalization in international politics 39.gif Probably he has closely observed how perfectly I manage all the things regarding Belleville's external relations 17.gif
     
    Now, do you know it's summer outside ???!!! 10.gif So it's time to come to Belleville to enjoy the nice weather (not 40 degrees as in Continental Europe...) and its thrilling life. Well, I've showed already some places to stay in, but one of the best is certainly this one - Hotel Adlon
     
    Hotel%20Adlon%201.JPG
     
     
    Hotel%20Adlon%202.JPG
     
    Just in front of La Madelaine, this hotel is like an oasis of tranquility, comfort and luxury in the very centre of Belleville 19.gif
     
    Hotel%20Adlon%203.JPG
     
    But I must warn you that it is recommended to make a reservation at least three weeks in advance, because this is really one of the favorite hotels in Pays-Beau. For more information call: +542 849 2518 7261 901

    how in the heck did i miss this journal earlier?
    you are doing a most excellent job, simbourgeois - you have quite an amazing ability to tell a story simply with your collections of pictures which is most admirable. and what is nice is you have been able to find real life pictures which fit in seamlessly with the game pictures. quite remarkable.
    keep up the great work.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, subedei, timo, MissTonya, sirgeoj2, Kwakelaar, MrCinatit, SoNell, for your nice comments 49.gif
     
    And, MissTonya, that wonderful building with the parking for the cars can be found here: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=11422
     
    It's called Place de la Madelaine - a true masterpiece made by porkissimo, chef-d'oeuvre, as we say here in Belleville 19.gif
     
    Hope that I helped you 1.gif
     
    And again, thank you all for your comments - they have been sent to the Belleville's Central Archive (Monday - Friday 10-17; phone number: +542 254 8732 5344 981) where they will be stored for the next generations of bellevillois.

    bienefeldt: Yeah, I know that there's a quite similar hotel in Berlin, but I must warn you that Kempinski chain of hotels using the same name for their hotel is just parasiting on the success story of the Adlon Hotel in Belleville 26.gif But we are not going to sue them for it, business here is going real good, as you said 19.gif

    Ok, Nardo69, I'll try to do my best...
     
    Well, here's a small update 1.gif
     
    If you're one of those lucky ones who are staying in the Hotel Adlon, then I can assure that the best place to have a cup of coffee is this small cafe near it - Cafe Adlon
     
    cafeadlon1gh7.jpg
     
    Of course, you can chose the restaurant or piano bar inside the hotel, but I would recommend you this place, indeed. What can be better than to sit in this small and exquisite cafe, to enjoy its unique atmosphere, to read some morning newspaper... By the way, you can get them and various journals in the kiosque nearby, if you want some specific one. But otherwise you will find Belleville Daily, Le Monde, Le Figaro, IHT, Guardian, NY Times and other ones inside the cafe 21.gif

    Enjoy, and see you soon somewhere in Belleville !!!

    Well Mayor Simbourgeios, I must say that Your city is very good looking... MAYBE A LITTLE TOO GOOD 30.gif. I can see quite a few buildings built after drafts from my architectural office in the city. But, as I checked with my bank this very morning, there are no licensing fees paid by Your city, nor by the beloved inhabitants of Yours. This violates federal Sim Nation Law 345

    Well, we are all the time going around the Hotel Adlon, and this post woun't be an exception 20.gif
    Today I will show you one of the fanciest fashion stores in Belleville
     
    berlinfashion1bf1.jpg
     
     
    Why Berlin? Well, it was founded in 1928 by a german merchant Franz Kaufmannsohn, who decided that there should be a place in Belleville where one could by various things from Germany, and only from Germany 21.gif This tradition still continues, but nowadays they're selling only clothes 15.gif But suits there are great 44.gif

    But, of course, one must pay for everything... No, no, no, darling, we are not going today to Berl... Ouch... Ok,ok... I'll just take my wallet...

    Simborgeous,

    I recieved Your letter concerning the legal concerns on this matter. My legal advisors has now thoroughly investigated this matter and they withhold the legacy of the paragraph in our federal law, in which such infrigment as mentioned are subject of public prosecution. However, a matter of this kind has not been processed in Sim Nations Surpreme Court since Brugesian times. An appeal would be a process of several years and not a tenable solution to this issue. I have therefore been advised to investigate the possibilities to set up a local office in Belleville to look after my interests, and at the same time hopefully have the opportunity of new business openings in the region around Belleville. Therefore, my humble question for You, mayor Simborgeous is if my company could set up an office in Belleville. This would give Your city yet anoter unique arcitectural highlight and provide Your citizens with high-quality architectural designs in all occuring building styles.
     
    Best regards,
    Odd

    Thanks, Kwakelaar and newyorkrunaway1, for your comments 49.gif

    But now, time for an update 19.gif
     
    Hemingway has said that it is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them, and it is true, indeed. But it's worth to have not only a bicycle, but a good bicycle. Therefore I'll show you where you can get some great bicycles in Belleville
     
    <img align=baseline>
     
    Made in France since 1930 (now a part of Cycleurope), Gitane offers you every kind of bicycles you could imagine. And we love them here in Belleville. Opened already in 1948, this shop is certainly the favorite one for many bellevillois. Still owned by the Bachelet family (you can see the current owner Jean Bachelet, aged 84, near his father, Francois Bachelet in a photo taken in the opening day of their shop), it imports only Gitane bicycles.
     
    <img align=baseline>
     
    But, of course, you can find there also various accessories made by  Z
