I'm 47. Live in Akron, Ohio. Rubber Capital of the World at one time. Now all we have is the Home Offices. Rather have them then the smoke stacks that in winter gave us Black Snow. I've lived in all 50 States (Military Brat) 25 of them twice and 1 three times. I've traveled to Mexico, Greece, Italy, France, England, Scottland, Ireland and Germany and last year I added Canada (The grass is greener on the other side). I'm single. (Divorced 3 times so I gave up on the marriage thing). Currently employed with LOWES (Home Improvement Warehouse #2 with Home Depot being #1) I'm a Assistant Department Manager (Team Leader) in the Millwork Department.

I got hooked on SimCity from the very 1st game and play an average of 50 hours a week (if I don't go to the gym or anything else important). I also have the SIMS but haven't played them in months.

I've been interested in doing a city journal except I get bored with my cities and destroy them frequently. Hell hath no furry as a Bear upset.

I live in the city of Bremerhaven in Germany, which is a port city of

118,000 inhabitans. The city lies at the mouth of the Weser River to the North Sea, so you can see big ships almost every day here in the port.

I am a 24 year old college student at Bremen University, so i have to drive about one hour to get there.

The weather here is especially from October to May a bit chilly,

but therefore we can enjoy long and bright summer evenings, cause the sun sets here in June after 10 pm and even after that, it doesn't really get dark for a few weeks.

My hobbies are Gaming, playing Dart and Billiard in my favorite pub

and meteorological observations. I have an own weatherstation and

notice the readings everyday on my computer.

Oh and i forgot: My real name is George

Hi there, I'm Cameron, I reside in Sydney, Australia, a metropolis of 4.2 million people (small, huh ?)... Currently I'm studying at TAFE, and not much else, really. Oh yeah, I have all the versions of SimCity (Classic, 2k, 3k, and 4 and its ep RH). I'm gathering it's fairly easy to tell from that I'm addicted

[BarbulaM1 38]

Yay.
I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA. I have played every version of SimCity. My name is Myles Barbula, and Im 14. Im compleatly addicted to this site and the game of SimCity. I am very good at math and so good at history it can scare you. Ever since I moved from Dallas, TX I have been addicted to city planning and it has lead me into many things from php web programing to how trains run and what types there are. I can conger up many useless facts. I also tend to stay on the internet to much.

I am DuskTrooper, some dude from the great USA, specifically the great state of TEXAS, in the great city of HOUSTON!

I am a student aspiring to become an architect and city planner, and am obsessed with architecture, city planning, all the details of this stuff,etc.  I am also a Building Architect Tool ( BAT ) user, and if you ever need BAt help, you can ask the rest of the BATTsquadders, or me, for help.  Detials are important, so don't skip them.
