    Can I just say how much your CJ pleases me. A) I live in Chicago - Hyde Park to be precise - and I think you have done a swell job. B) I think you must have an amazing amount of patience to have been working on one CJ for so long. I have only been doing my first one for a little more than a week and I already feel tired.

    Great job!!!35.gif35.gif35.gif35.gif35.gif

    Its funny because I was actually thinking the other day that we need the Harold Washington Library. It is also one of my favorite buildings in the city. Perhaps I will work on it in the weeks to come.

    I also wanted to say that I am looking forward to seeing a bit of the South Side! And particularly the Hyde Park/University of Chicago area.

    Kant01, Harold Washignton library would be amazing l would display it in my city for sure, and besides that library is bad ass I'm pretty sure everybody would love it, I have always left a reserved spot on there for just in case one of these days somebody makes it. I have 4 x 5 spot already there waiting for that baby....44.gif<ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//state.jpg align=baseline>

    Amazing skyline ...
    But what I really appreciate is that you haven't forgotten the low and mid rises around them. Just one thing: MORE OF THEM 29.gif

    Can you help me find my jaw? I think I lost it in page 8...Oh no, My spleen. 9.gif
    I have in fact been to Chicago, and from what I see, it is the exact thing.The way the center is dense and the area around it is mid-dense and further out isn't that dense. Amazing work! 5.gif

    Just something I see that I don't think you have. In front of the Aon Center, there is a large plaza with a fountain. And there is a stairway leading down to the fountain and an elevator, something like the ped NAM elevator.

    Just a small suggestion to improve tiny details you are kind of missing. By the way, might I see a pic of the sun times building and the trump tower? 9.gif
    I am amazed by how well you have made everything so flawless. I wish they had those draw bridges in SC4, instead of having an under truss. Very nice! 9.gif9.gif

    And Lakeshore Drive reminds me a lot of the time I went on it. Except there was more traffic.

    Very nice work! 9.gif

    Sorry about the long post. All I am saying is I am very delighted by this CJ. 9.gif

    Oh gosh! It's incredible! 39.gif

    I was in Chicago four years ago and as I can remember the ressemblance is just amazing!
    Did you have the Mies Van der Rohe's Lake Shore drive appartement?
     
    Did you project to build Chicagoland? From Gary, IN to Waukegan, Il and from the Loop to Aurora, IL?
     
    Great job! 44.gif
