REPLIES

Canadiansim: Thanks again! :)

Evillions: Thanks!

Ethachamp and Haveston: Thanks for noticing! It might be a bit run down in some parts, but

Baltimore is definitely my favorite city. It has a gritty pleasantness and architectural variety that I've

never noticed anywhere else (except for Philly). I guess that's why its called charm city.

Packersfan: Thanks!

Lobsterav: The six lane avenue is part of the Network Widening Mod (NWM). I think I got it off the lex,

but you might be able to get it here too. The slip lanes and turning lanes are just part of the NAM, which you

an find on the stex. Hope I helped, and thanks for your comment!

Kennyj_88: Thanks for commenting, the townhouses are from Tag One's Ghetto pack vol3 on the LEX,

though I've re-lotted them to better fit my city. EDIT Sorry, I didn't notice your second question.

I usually just stagger medium and low density 2x1 lots, and then when their developed I build over them

with the building plop cheat (Extra Cheats DLL)

I think that's all of you, sorry if I missed anyone.

Between Rock Creek's overgrown brownfield sites, and remaining manufacturing centers, are the vital rail

artery's that keep the city running. Most are still busy with freight traffic, and even a few AMTRAK passenger

trains, yet many sit unused and abandoned, signs of Rock Creeks decline as an industrial superpower. The old

Mid-Atlantic Railway pictured here, vacant since the 1950's, has been blocked off and replaced with the I-56

expressway through downtown.

In place of Rock Creek's former manufacturing empire, a new service economy has slowly emerged. Hotels and restaurant

chaings have popped up near downtown, though the high crime rate still deters many would-be tourists.

Those that do come often admire the historic art-deco theaters in Rock Creeks Downtown-South. Their renovation

has been an expensive, though politically-advantageous project for the city government.

I like those two shots of the raised rail over the avenue. The raised rail is one of my favorite custom items. There are some pretty awesome custom stations available for those, too (although they may not fit in with your style).

Very nice. I like the rail tracks but how did you get them to be elevated or is it just the normal El-Rail.
