Port Sumner: expanding south
The Fairmont Isthmus was a natural barrier between the river and the sea. It now is home to the tallest building in the province.
I love how I was able to manipulate the land and have the rail enter the subway system right before it goes into the sea. 
This section of the city is known as Millennium Heights. It took a long time to get approval to build the 3 residential towers due to the proximity of the airport. Patience prevailed in the end.
I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but I removed simfox's day n' night mod. The nights were just too dark for my taste and didn't allow for the beautiful night lights to be seen so well.
The blue building is 1 of my fav., so I am highlighting it in this entry. The residential towers are above the building in this shot.
This is looking south at Millennium High School. The rail exits the subway here, crosses the Kenai River and enters the subway system on the isthmus.
The navy has a battleship and a destroyer in port at the same time, a rare occurrence since usually only 1 or the other is in port. Rumor is they rushed home to be part of this entry 
The port is busy at all hours, even weekends.
The boardwalk is a popular spot at night.
A big chunk of downtown was zoned for industrial to aid in expansion and justified the extension of Industrial Avenue, which leads to the port.
The Sumner Rockets play soccer at Wilcott Field. As you may have noticed, some stubborn sims refused to sell their homes and have to live amongst towers now.
More stubborn sims here. Oh well, it helps break up clusters of towers. There's always a silver lining. 
Downtown employees 75% of the residents in the city. Using plazas and canals help spread out the towers.
It appears a new skyscraper was erected before this shot. There were too many Shilito buildings anyway.
It's hard to get lost in Camp Wahooga with that sky scraper right there lol.
The Pine Bluffs Industrial Park was the deciding factor in weather or not to build a highway. So they started it here and went south as well as connecting the neighboring county.
This is a big part of the original town of Sumner, the port was built later on and the residents voted to change the name to Port Sumner. Older folks still call this area Sumner.
This is the old town center. A subway station/bus stop occupies the center where a statue once stood.
Sumner High School has been renovated numerous times. The football field on the other hand has yet to be updated.
The Prescott Center towers of Saint Thomas's Cathedral.
The Sumner Ice Center is popular all year long. The Sumner Land sharks hockey team plays here.
A quick overview of Lake Zaykum, the ballpark, zoo, aquarium, swim center and Miller Park (across the avenue from the ballpark)
The lake is named after a local poet whom lived along the shore of the lake. To the left is Boulder Pond, any wonder why?
This is a close-up of Zaykum Lake to show the amount of detail on the shore and trees.
I have decided to keep the city to a 1 part entry. My next entry will be on the Sumner Summit Resort and Whacky Land Amusement Park.
Well that's it for this entry. I hope you have enjoyed. Do Svidaniya
