Next: the market...

This is an experimental post, I haven't finnished all the bats in the main square so it is cut and incomplete... sorry

But tell me what you think

[jglei701 8]

Very nice.... never been to Merida, but I've been to Mexico City, and this could pass for a plaza area there too!

[Kwakelaar 92]

You are doing a great job with this CJ and I like your BAT's, I have downloaded them al.Looking forward to see how Merida will look in the next updates.

[Mickebear 2]

A quick update...

The Lucas de Galves Market

Here's a pic. of the grain portal market (the archery built in 1880)and the Federal post and telegraph palace (built in 1908 ), notice it's sorrounded by ambulant tents everywhere.


Here's the market bazaar street (calle del bazar):



The twin houses

Built by the great land owners, the Zavala Brothers, during the Porfiriato; this beautiful houses stand along the Paseo de Montejo, the most elegant avenue in M

Merida is becomming more and more a city of Latin-America, good job your doing with the BAT.

[Jerebannus XVI 7]

This is outstanding! I love your central plaza and all those little mexican houses. Incredible that you are rebuilding your own town so detailed, that you even put the correct houses in place.

And it does look so beautiful.
Makes me want to start a new village, a mexican one. Would be a competition to my UK village.

Es increible lo que has hecho.

[debussyman 1,348]

gurrgkud: thank you for the nice comments, I'm glad you like my Cj.

Simjurgen:thanks, nice to see some people de mi tierra, and you are right, the porfiriatum era is very much like the victorian for the Brit.

Jerebannus XVI: I'm happy it's inspiring you, the atmosphere I wanted to recreate, well, I think I'm starting to get it.

barnatom: wow, a mexican town with your skills would be great, and thaks for visiting.

Well don't expect too much very soon, I'm still working on the BATs for the city, the current count: 37 lots, I'm still working on a house style and got many landmarks to go.

[Kwakelaar 92]

Outstanding work both with your CJ and with the BAT.
Looking forward to your next update.

[crazyarchitect 7]

this is looking to be a nice CJ, I love Mexico, I hope to come back soon

[debussyman 1,348]

Kwakelaar and crazyarchitect: Thanks For your comments, Glad you're liking my CJ.

Currently I'm working on the Calle Ancha del Bazar (Market Broadway), also known as El paseo de las Bonitas (The Pretty ladies' walkway) which was the Comercial center of the city during the early 1900's. On this historical avenue rise some of the most beautiful french stlye buildings in the city, my favourites are the Ritter and Bock building and the Siglo XIX Hardware Company.

There's still much work to do on this avenue and I hope I can finnish Batting it soon.

[jglei701 8]

I'm really looking forward to this CJ... but I may be looking forward to the Bats more...!  I really like your stuff, keep up the good work!

[Nardo69 51]

Interesting CJ with an interesting theme. I like how you made up the history. The choice and placement of your BATs fits.

Hope I see some more of it!!

I will be featuring these BATs in my upcoming CJ and am very excited about working with them.

 

I certainly look forward to your continued updates to this great CJ.

I just want to let you know that I started a new CJ called A mexican town . I will use lots of your BATs for it, so I decided to dedicate it to you. I hope you don't mind...

And please show us some pictures of your beautiful M

Hey I love this. I was an LDS missionary in Merida in the mid 90s. I have very fond feelings for that town. I spent a lot of time in the downtown area near the bus terminal and in the east side of town. I also spent time in Uman and Motul. I wish someone could BAT the convent in Izamal, the pyramid at Uxmal, the cathedral in Merida, or any of the fincas and haciendas. Another idea is the big traffic circle on the Paseo de Montejo. I got to see some very rustic ruins that had not been excavated and even found some busted pottery. Progreso is a nice town. People don't think of Merida they think of Cancun as far as the Yucatan goes. I really dug Merida for the culture there.
