1. Port Botany Sea Port
This has probably been my favourite section to build upon. At the moment, the Sea Port has been wiped twice, and is currently on the 3rd and final edit. My initial problem with this port was that the land on Sir Drunkapple's map was angled badly, meaning a direct build was not possible with the tools at my disposal. However, a quick re-brushing of land quickly straightened up the port, and made loading and unloading containers much easier for the vessels. I originally created the port based on the current configuration, however there is work under way to expand, allowing much more cargo. I figured there's no reason not to allow for the new and improved port section, making it much more impressive! THE INSPIRATION Port Botany Sea Port, 2010 Port Botany's Artist Impression upon completion of Expansion THE VIRTUALIZATION An overview of the entire port. The port is actually spread over 2 tiles, the middle being just near the southern inner wharf. I had stitched the images together used several zoomed in shots from both tiles, however I was met with a potentially fatal flaw -- the water on the South of the top tile was darker than the water at the North of the bottom tile! Disaster! A saviour was found however, in the form of a little program called "Photoshop". Using the water from the northern tile, the southern waters became a blissful darker blue in no time. As you can see, the expansion in the norther-west has been included, though is not yet a reality... in reality. These works are currently easily viewed from the scenic Botany Golf Course. A very busy port, featuring companies such as Patricks and D.P. World, many many containers are coming in and going out every day. A very identifiable feature also seen from land and air are the many fuel tanks scattered around the port, along with plenty of space for containers to be loaded, unloaded and stored. While a vessel is being loaded with new containers, many trucks have arrived in the slot time to be loaded with their containers. Unfortunately, delays later into the day are very common. The latest and greatest cranes will be in operation for the new expansion, allowing much more capacity for Port Botany, meaning Sydney will not be bottlenecked from cargo for decades to come. I hope you all enjoyed reading about Port Botany, there will be more to come. - 3

Introduction
Hey everyone its me DUDEITSME411. And this is my very first CJ on Simtropolis So anyway, I've been looking at some of the CJ's throughout the site and noticed that NONE of them are made with just stuff from the game itself. So i will be using al default buildings in the game. The only exception I'm making is that I'm going to have the NAM, RHM, and the Street Tree Mod. But I will be using the original regions as well. This CJ has not officially started. Meaning i haven't even started the region. POPULATION: 0. I will also be naming EVERY SINGLE STREET to make it even more realistic. So stay tuned CITIES IN REGION (SO FAR) Batavia Berwyn Bohners Bull Delavan Elgin Elkhorn Geneva Gilbert Hermosa La Grange Lakemoor Lakeview Lawndale Lisle Lyons Oakwood Pell Lake Ringwood Riverside Roscoe Spring Grove Trout Warrenville Wayne Westmont Wheaton Willowbrook -

Oracle is getting sophisticated
Dear readers, Oracle is getting more and more sophisticated, which is a good thing - especially for the market value of properties. Remember the planning for a new park + museum area? Well.. Seems everything went according to plan. With the demolishing of the old police station, nothing could stop the Mayor from designing his dream oase: The religious area of Oracle really liked the cross-shaped pond. All around the pond was a narrow path with lots of benches and high trees: providing privacy and shadow during those sizzling summer days. In the evenings, the Oraclers get their romantic hat on... Soooo... Next to the park, connected via a pedestrian skywalker, we find the Museum Area! And since it houses a real tram museum, the mayor thought it'd be fun to actually have a tram running around throughout the museum area. The location is perfect: next to the train station, and sandwiched between main avenues. The area holds 6 museums.. Especially the Gugenheim is very popular. And to finish this update: a night shot of the new leisure area: The park is easy to recognize with its lit palm trees, and the museums can't be missed either. On the right, we find the residential skyscrapers. All up in the north we can just catch a glimpse of the yacht marina.

Beginnings
My name is Elrod McLann. I am teenager in one of the worst cities in the world, Burnsville. How bad is it? Well, let's put it this way. First off, my house is right here. Yeah, that's it. The house with the red truck. It's my dad's. My mom died when I was younger, but I think that they, they being my parents, got divorced instead. So she may be out there somewhere. I go to school at Burnville Public School. It's actually a high school and an elementary school together, grades K-12. I'm a junior at the school. It really is a dump. The place was built in the 1930s during the New Deal Projects, but hasn't been really updated since. The whole thing is infested with rats, which is why the cafeteria closed down. The only places to eat, then, include some weird coffee shop, Dairy Queen, or the diner down the street. The fourth floor of the school was closed down several years ago because it was considered unsafe because of leaks in the roof. Sometimes I think the building might just collapse. And, believe or not, this is downtown. There's a Wal-Mart, a few dollar stores, an Ace Hardware store, and an IGA. I wish something would happen to me. -

Pacifica
OKAY! Welcome to my country called, United Oceanic Republic or UR for short. UR is made up 78 (ficticious) islands running up and down the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The Islands and grouped into prefectures and there about 7 prefectures in the country. All but two prefectures are made up of mulitple Island chains. The two main Prefectures for the country are Atlantis in the Atlantic and Grendigar Island in the Pacific. Now because my Atlantic prefectures are made with SC4, I will be giving you a tour of the Pacific Prefectures. Starting with Grendigar Island. History
Grendigar Island was discovered by Aurther Grendigar, a captain in the US Navy, in the year 1902. America saw this deserted isle as a great stratigic point for a major naval base and so Grendigar Island was born. US only saw this island as a military base which was the reason why only two towns popped up Pacifica and Kalhina. Kalhina was a little fishing village made mainly up of retired military veterans. Pacifica on the other hand was a military town of about 10,000 people when WWII started. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor the Japanese worked there way throught the pacific eventually landing on Grendigar. The Navy was able to hold them off but barley. After that day Pacifica was totally destroyed and the Navy base was 85% destroyed. After that America used that as a strageic point in moving there supplies throught the Pacific. Pacifica unfortunatly wasn't rebuilt until the 50's when America realized the money they could make from tourism. The city hall in the new pacifica was built in 1953 and many people consider it to be the begining af the city. In the year 1966 with america spending a lot of money one the war in Vietnam, they couldn't afford Grendigar, and therefpore decided to sell it to the highest bidder. Fortunatly there was a millionare on the island who decided to buy and set up a new government. Grendigar Island saw great growth in the 80' and 90's with a population jump from 201,338 in 1980 to 643,829 in 2000. That caught the attention of (at the time called Republic of the Atlantic) UR in 1995. In 1998 Grendigar was admitted into the UR. Since then Citizens are happy and Pacifica is now the second largest city in the UR with a population 888,000 or so. Behind Bayview(atlantic) with population of 1.4 million. Pacifica continues to grow, and grow fast. If it keeps pace in 10 years will be the largest City in the UR. Geography and Climate
Grendigar Island is a large Island about 30,426.45 sq mi. which is about the size of Japan's Hokkaido Island. Grendigar Island is a tropical area. It is situated southwest of Hawaii about 3/8 of the way to Indonesia. The weather is always warm the average high temperature for the year is about 76 F. On average it rains about 300 inches/ year but mostly in the winter months or the "wet season". Its highest point is Mt Rainus at 5,687ft and the lowest is... well... the Pacific Ocean at 0ft (duh). The island has a population of 3.2 million almost 1 million of that being in Pacifica... okay now to some pictures Transportation in Pacifica
This is the map of Pacifica
It has one major freeway running throught it, The name for it is Island Interlink Rte. 24 (I-24) more commonly refered to as "the Cresent"
The Island Interlink has a symbol with a number in the middle if you can see it toward the bottom of the map
there are plans to extend the expressway(RED) down into the coast line with the harbors via tunnel as soon as funding is secured(or when i figure out how to make one lol) and a proposed new city link at the bottom right. Imediate plans is to extend downtown (it should be north) up the coastline with new office buildings, Eltie high rise condos, lesiure buildings and a new baseball field. Now I will give you the official tour of Pacifica
A view from the plane getting ready to land at the airport. You can see Pacifica Stadium which was JUST built at the time of taking this picture. It is set to house the first western football team in the country next season.
Also you can see the historic Old Harbor Town at the very bottom.
Welcome to Pacifica International Airport
Another look at the stadium as I was traveling into downtown Pacifica on I-24 after I left the airport.
Some Los Angeles type traffic on I-24
I got a personal Tour of the new stadium from new franchise quarterback Ben Moorehead.
A view from a government building to downtown over looking the southern downtown interchange.
A view of upper downtown from the helicopter tour
Its been a long day!! a night time helicopter view
This is the view I have from my back porch at my house in Old Harbor Town.
A view as we leave Pacifica to explore the rest of Grendigar Island
Hope you enjoyed your visit! this is my first city on cities xl so any suggestions or criticisms(as long as its constructive lol) will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for viewing this. -

Port de Pulke
Port de Pulke Welcome to Port de Pulke! Like Gerachi, it is located in the former Bergonian Empire. Known for its beautiful canals, strong manufacturing and ship-building industries, Port de Pulke is one of the country's most important port cities. After the Beridian Revolution, Port de Pulke has grown to be an industrial center ever since its occupation by Durcham was over back in 1749. To accomadate all of the commuting people pouring into the city to work in the factories, the city built canals to transport people around the city. Although a majority of them have been filled in since the the railroad was put in place in 1874, a section of them remains in the downtown area and part of the wealthier residential for historical importance and beauty. This is the city hall, which is surrounded by canals. The city was founded during the Bergonian Empires hey-day back in 1543. The city hall has been redone multiple times, especially on the outside, but a good portion of the old interior has been restored. Here we have more of downtown. on the left side of the canal, where the tables outside the building are, is a favorite restraunt throughout the city. They're a common sight along the canal. Like I said earlier, Port de Pulke has quite a rail system. Its the best way to get in and out of the city. Here are some more pictures of the rail system. Looks like a college soccer match is going on. The red bridge crosses over to the industrial area. Anyway, here you can see the marina and the fishing docks. Seafood is a major food staple that is cosumed everyday by the citizens. Heres a quick pic of some of the old villas that are still around. They give you a quick look at what Port de Pulke used to look like. Well, thats all for now! Next time we'll move in a little more inland to Daboli. Please comment! -

..all is lost..
Dear viewers, ...like the extraordinary sand art of the Tibetan monks, where such seemingly eternal artwork, with a single gust of wind, gone...never to return. Its previous form - only legend, and the stuff of myths....so is the fate of Hyperborea. My computer crashed, and although i was very upset with the lose of my project, i feel slightly liberated and will begin re-massing my plugin folder, only this time with more precision and organization. so expect a 'phoenix-like' return....although it will take time. However, my last entry (Entry 11 - only 39 views) was updated extensively from what i originally posted that morning. it represents a new trend towards a graphic design approach i will be taking from now on. Entry 11 is alot different from my previous entries and you can expect to see similar presentations when i begin my new journal. but please, revisit 'entry 11' ...39 views is excruciatingly low...considering the effort i put into it. thanks for you involvement with my project... ..until next time, avrelivs. - 12

Species Data
Edit: Jan 24th: Now with weight and metric equivalents Just a random image of a day of school at Tiffany Meiring's high school... which for some reason involves crossdressing. Maybe they lost a bet? Culuya, who isn't crossdressing, seems to find the situation quite funny... "Upyadawa ja ebba jalakduxen!" is Zukish for "No flying in the halls!" From left to right: Culuya Kasa (Zuke), Igrasa Zhaphe (Muphridian), Binashu Kaja (Zevinowa), Tiffany Meiring (Human), Lauren Halatik (Zuke), Scott Wasuvo Based on a Haruhi Suzumiya image here: http://konachan.com/post/show?md5=c94c8b08a370c6fa03c912948d67a650 The following 5 (well 4, as Zukes and Muphridians technically are the same species) species are the ones that are most likely to be found in Myon, or the planet Maiyan. Gaxikaen/Gremlins Average adult height (female): 2 feet 9 inches / 84 centimeters Average adult height (male): 3 feet, 1 inch / 94 centimeters Average adult weight (female): 45 pounds / 20.4 kilograms Average adult weight (male): 52 pounds / 23.6 kilograms Average life expectancy: 102 years Basic Hair colors: Gray, brown, black, mixtures of the previous Diet: Carnivorous Native to: Maiyan/Mïyan General information: Gaxikaen have a rocket-like organ on their back that allows them to fly, this can be controlled to provide maneuvering as well, and normally the exhaust is relatively cool. They also have wings that are attached to their arms, and a rod-like secondary arm that attaches to their side when the wings are deployed, otherwise it remains flat against their actual arms. They are able to fly using only their wings and not the bio-rocket, unlike Zukes, and can also fly reasonably well just by using the bio-rocket. Gaxika commonly begin to learn to fly around the age of 3 to 4, and can learn to do so on their own, though training helps them learn quicker. They are entirely covered with fur, and can survive in space for limited periods of time. A lack of oxygen does not effect their bio-rockets performance, and the fur protects them from UV rays. They also have 6 fingers/toes on each hand/foot, and have retractable claws. They also have a tail, but it is quite short and normally not visible, being hidden under clothes. Humans Average adult height (female): 5 feet 8 inches / 173 centimeters Average adult height (male): 5 feet, 11 inches / 180 centimeters Average adult weight (female): 132 pounds / 59.9 kilograms Average adult weight (male): 157 pounds / 71.2 kilograms Average life expectancy: 112 years Basic Hair colors: Brown, black, blond, red Diet: Omnivorous Native to: Earth General information: I think you already know this. Muphridians Average adult height (female): 8 feet / 244 centimeters Average adult height (male): 8 feet, 1 inch / 246 centimeters Average adult weight (female): 476 pounds / 215.9 kilograms Average adult weight (male): 506 pounds / 229.5 kilograms Average life expectancy: 265 years Basic Hair colors: Brown, black, blond, green, red Diet: Omnivorous Native to: Alhuna? Maiyan/Mïyan? Muphrid? The first Muphridians were genetically modified Zukes, created by the Hasiq in order to serve as a sort of servant race, though they revolted and became independent around 9 thousand years ago. The genetic manipulations include a potential for telekinetic or similar powers, though only about 50% of the population has one of more of these abilities. Also they have the ability to survive in space, similar to Gaxikaen, and they have lost the feet-rockets that Zukes have. Also, they have a small horn on the bottom of the back of their head that Zukes lack. For more information, see the section on Zukes. Zevinowati Average adult length (female): 17 feet, 7 inches / 536 centimeters Average adult length (male): 17 feet, 7 inches / 536 centimeters Average adult weight (female): 167 pounds / 75.7 kilograms Average adult weight (male): 166 pounds / 75.3 kilograms Average life expectancy: 87 years Basic Hair colors: none Diet: Omnivorous Native to: Vinawasho Zevinowati (singular Zevinowa) are somewhat snakelike in appearance, and have 10 limbs that can act as either legs or arms, the most common configuration they take is that of an S shape, with the last to pairs of limbs used as legs. They have a pattern of red markings that are unique to the Zevinowa in question, females also have significant orange markings as well as the red. Some forms of Zevinowa food are poisonous to other species, though in most cases the reverse is not true. Zevinowati additionally are venomous, and can either inject venom though their fangs, or can spray it if necessary. Most doses are not strong enough to kill another unless the target is allergic, though a full injection is enough to kill. Also, due to the fangs they are unable to pronounce s, z, or th sounds effectively, producing a notable accent. Zevinowati do not have a skeletal system similar to that of the other species, instead they have a system that is combined with the muscular system, that allows for a combination of strength and flexibility. They have 3 eyes and 3 ears as well, with the ears looking like holes in the skin. Zukes Average adult height (female): 8 feet / 244 centimeters Average adult height (male): 8 feet, 1 inch / 246 centimeters Average adult weight (female): 475 pounds / 215.5 kilograms Average adult weight (male): 504 pounds / 228.6 kilograms Average life expectancy: 265 years Basic hair colors: Brown, black, blond, green, red Diet: Omnivorous Native to: Maiyan/Mïyan Zukes have a tail that has a forked tip, this can be formed into a sort of fist, several other wild animals commonly referred to as "clubtails" have the same ability. Like Gaxikaen, they have 6 fingers/toes on each hand/foot, and have retractable claws. Aside from their head, their body has little visible hair, though thin fuzz covers most of their body, along with the scales, which are quite small and not noticeable as such unless you look closely. They have wings with a similar structure to that of Gaxikaen, and also have feet-rockets to provide flight thrust. Unlike Gaxhikaen, they do not have the ability to fly with just their wings and not the feet-rockets, though the can glide. Like Gaxikaen, the commonly learn to fly around the age of 3 or 4. They can somewhat fly just by using the feet-rockets, though it is rare that one would become proficient in doing so. They can survive at high altitudes that humans would be unable to, but they lack the ability to survive in space for extended periods of time.- Read More

Chapter One: December 17th, 2027
Scientists had been warning us about this for decades. Aaaaand, as usual, most people didn't care much. Most people had no idea how to deal with it. Oh, sure, there are earthquakes all the time in LA. Get a five-pointer about once a year or two, and that'll get everybody interested for a couple of weeks. But they all had their daily lives to occupy them the rest of the time. Twenty million daily lives. It's a nearly incomprehensible number, especially now. So, it seems like almost nobody was expecting it when it happened, even though everybody was expecting it eventually. On December 17th, 2027, at 12:36 pm, Southern California was obliterated. [The USGS has prepared a number of videos of the scenario I am about to describe, which can be viewed here.] The event began when the tiny town of Bombay Beach, on the eastern shore of the Salton Sea, exploded. The blast of seismic energy radiating out of the focus of the quake a mile and a half directly below lifted the entire town into the air, dropped it, and throttled apart whatever was left. The force of the rupture spread outward in all directions, then began to power northwest, along the edge of the sea. The fault rupture raced into the Coachella Valley, shredding apart Indio, Palm Springs, and everything in between, with twisting waves of rock and liquefied sand. As the earthquake continued along the line through the Banning Pass and into the San Bernardino Mountains, thousands of landslides began to pour downhill. The temblor emerged from the mountains and plowed with full force into the city of San Bernardino, built right along the edge of the fault. The runways of the airport cracked, jumped, skewed apart. Houses collapsed into the shifting fault. High-rises built above a high water table sunk into the sandy swamp that flooded Downtown. The seismic waves reached a wedge. The San Gabriel mountains split the geological bullet in half. The main rupture continued through the Cajon Pass into the Mojave desert, where it ate Victorville, and annihilated Lancaster and Palmdale, before finally stopping, after two hundred miles, in the Antelope Valley. The waves themselves continued on, splitting into the Santa Clarita Valley and Ventura, and roaring through the Tejon Pass and making a mess of Bakersfield. The first deflected waves bounced around the valleys of the Inland Empire before passing into the soft sediments of the San Gabriel Valley and the Los Angeles Basin, which always act more like jell-o than rock during a major temblor. The resilient granite mountains surrounding the basin reflected and focused the earthquake's strongest force yet into the worst possible place. East Los Angeles, South Los Angeles, Watts, South Gate. The people of the Harbor Gateway cities, among the most thoroughly poor places in California, were enveloped in an apocalyptic nightmare of converging, redoubling crests of sand and rock, while homes, warehouses, freeways, and power lines twisted and disintegrated all around them. One older skyscraper in Downtown Los Angeles crumbled apart when a fissure opened beneath it, and nearly all the other towers shed their façades, but somehow remained intact structurally. The waves continued through the West Side into Santa Monica, where towers built along bluffs crumbled onto the beach below. A landslide on the Palos Verdes peninsula sent a small tsunami across the channel to Catalina, where the Avalon waterfront was washed away... All the major highways into Greater LA were cut apart where they crossed the faultline. High voltage electric transmission lines were downed across the region. Water, gas, and sewer lines were broken everywhere, spreading floods, fire, and disease. In those three minutes, an estimated seventy-five thousand lives were lost. Over five million people were rendered permanently homeless, and all the rest left to struggle for their lives. Looting began immediately. Fires burned uncontrolled for weeks, until they ran out of combustible fuel. No government had any hope of restoring order to the region. Helicopters from San Francisco, San Diego and Las Vegas began air dropping food and medical supplies the day after, but the packages were overrun by desperation, and gangs looking for power. By day three, the situation dissolved into total anarchy. Refugees began to pour out of the region by the tens of thousands. Until the siege. National Guard and Army units were deployed at checkpoints in the mountain passes, at Camp Pendleton, and in Santa Barbara, in hopes of preventing unaffected cities from being swamped by the desperate homeless. The decision was made to attempt restore order to the region from the sea. The Navy's Amphibious landing ships would go ashore along Santa Monica Bay, bringing with them the needed medical supplies and food... and Martial Law. This would prove a far greater disaster. * * * * * Next update: San Miguel Colony. (And I promise that there will be no more walls of text like this!)- Read More

Ravenwood, a city where old meets older
Welcome to Ravenwood's Uhkchter Mountains. The mountains home to small villages outside of the city are not suited to build a city upon. THese villages however find ways to create themselves in land half a mile above their neighboring capital. Churches are the most common structures to find at the tops of the mountains.

Welcome all!
This is my first CJ, and I recently installed SC4 on my new computer, so it is currently in it's original state, without any plugins or mods. However, I hope to add some over time and improve the look of my city Greater David City is a tiny but growing region, with a mainly capitalist society and small government. The main exports are luxury goods and machinery, and the major imports are food and raw materials.- Read More

Science and Coporatism
Now we know that it takes a year to travel to earth at near light speed, if your not he one traveling. Physicists say that if you travel at near light speed, time slows down, to a stop at light speed, and backwards if you go faster. This is because light speed is the universal speed limit, and say flying on a space ship going at light speed, and you go to use the toilet at the front of the ship, wouldn't your movement on top of the light speed make you go faster than light speed? So what happens is time slows down just enough that at whatever speed your moving, it dosen't exeed the limit, so from earth it would seem like it took you a week to get to the toilet, but you wouldn't notice anything. The same thing will happen to our astronauts, although it takes a year to get to earth, they will only spend 6 months aboard the space ship, because times slows down on the ship, hard to understand, eh? (Canadian FTW) Well coporatism is even harder to understand. When people of the great planet of home learnt that it would be engaulfed in the sun, land prices plumeted, and coporations lost money, but when the government anouced a colonization mission, who was the greatest sponsor, the tax payers? No, in no way could the government afford to do that, they had to pay for health care, education, and services, and were in massive debt from wars of a long time ago. No corporation funded over 80% of the project, why would they do it if they were losing money? because the governement offered them land and rights to do whatever business they were in of the new planet earth, and thus people invested in the companies that had these rights, giving more money to the government for more rights and so on. The economy was being run on migrating the population to earth, and too a Desertian student like Schulman, who lived in communism in his childhood, this new concept inspired him to build his own corporation on this new planet. For the first few years of migration, only healthy sapients in their 20's are allowed to go, but the candidents have already been filled in for 5 years so the government started accepting 15 year olds that would apply to go in 5 years, and moved the cut of age from 25 year olds to 20 year olds, meaning, that by the time they did go, they'd be the right age. With the launch so close, the next batch of astronauts are being train, they will leave as soon as the others arrive, in one year. When the original astronauts land, they will said a radio message through a wormhole, a major advance in communication technology. Scientists say that like all 3 dimentional surfaces, the 4th dimension isn't smooth, and has imperfections called wormholes. Which can instately teleport form one end of the universe to the other, the only problem is the worm holes are so small, that nothing can egt through, except things that don't have mass, like radio waves, so thanks to technological advancements, instant messages can be sent form earth to home and back. As soon as they land they will send a message that they are safe, and the next round of astronauts will come. The schedual is as follows Original launch: 1 year before first landing, Arriving 0 years after landing Second launch: 0 years after first landing, Arriving 1 year after first landing from then until the next year a space ship will be launched every month. Then in the next year 4 launches per month (every week) for one year. In the fourth year after landing (AL) a ship will launch every day and will continue until every sapient is on earth. The first launch will have 30 spients and equipement on it. After that they will all have 50 on them. If oen launch happens everyday, an the population of hoem remains stable (apart from emmigration) at 45 million. (not including 5 million newians, who, unless the newians make their own launches, the united nations government has no control of, and the 10 000 dragons who at the moment are negotiating a way to move to the new planet too) ( So the population of home is around 50 million sapients and 10 000 dragons) Now for the launch 3, 2, 3, 2, Liftoff! The parents of the brave 30 look at the space ship goin up. Tears in their eyes, the astronauts are all 20-24, if they weren't heading to this new planet, they would be in university, in school. Coming to this new planet is a hard choice, but i hope you make it. (That's right subliminal advertising in a emotional part of the story, for you to make a character for you to join the new world) In a year by our standards they will arive on this planet, ready to set up a new colony, and a new way of life.- Read More

The Grid- Strict, LInes, and prosperity
We all know New York, one of the largest cities in the entire world! We also know that it has a well planned grid on which it was built upon. This Grid, and the great port location, played a vital role in creating this American Metropolis. Today I have pictures of one of my metropolises, or is it Metropoli? Alexandria is a gigantic city located along the Aceih River in Eastern Zantopia (My Makebelieve Country). Although the city has a large population, they only thought to build upward and forgot the outward componant of a city's success. With the amount of development in Alexandria I am sorry to say that this is onle of the only intersections you can clearly see. But as you can see there is no development that was stymed in Alexandria! - 3

Yay! It's back! Alas, like Tamijo, I can't remember what I voted for the first time around! Thank you for providing a brief summary of the highlights; that made it easier to sort of remember things! I had fun looking at all of the neat pictures again, too. -
