    afuegosky - Are you gonna go to Lolla at Grant Park? I can't afford tickets, so I'll probably just go to Millennium Park and listen outside.

    Afeugosky: I highly engourage you to put all of your custom buildings for this region up on STEX; they're great! I love how your cj is coming along. I just have one question though. Are you ever planning on going back and fixing the North(west in ur cj) branch of the Chicago River? It should be going a lot more northerly. Anyways, it doesn't bother me at all; just wanted to let ya know, in case you were going for EXTREME acurracy.

    I've been working hard on my Chicago cj too, please visit sumtime.44.gif

     CHICAGO...As real, as it gets... Man this C.J. is still one of the best....

    You have a very realistic image of the Great Lake city of Chicago....Gotta love the waterways and the buildings are very different and the parks and fountains can really be seen.This quite possible the best recreation....
     
    This is why I rate this a 9.7/10!!!44.gif44.gif44.gif
     
    I could go on and on about how great this C.J. is.....
     
    If your 9.7 is still the highest rating I give,then your C.j. will be featured in my signature next monday....44.gif

    nice work there!!!

     
    I really love the shots you took there..
     
     
    only thing I could suggest is to change the water texture...

    Wow... this definetly as REAL as it gets - I don't live there ... But I've seen lots of pictures of it! You did good...

    Yeah - I was gonna say too - how about a different water texture? One problem when you change though, you have to go into every water city and save it, as you get this effect:

    As you can see... it's not very eye-catching :-(
     
    Well done - keep it up!
