Canadiansim: Ah well, it's an elite group :) Your CJ is great by the way :thumb:

Treka: Thanks!

Packersfan: Thank you

Hyronymus: Yep, it does take quite a while. The rail viaduct is just Mas71's Japanese Wall Setlined with ploppable grass(I think this is the right link, but i'm not 100% sure)

Kabinator: Yeah probably not, I guess it has to back up and go left

Jamesrules: Thanks!

Pielover94: Thanks!

Hmm: Thank's for your comment. The traffic signals are The HBS HD Traffic Lights Mod

Vampiregirl: Thank you!

Shoko: Thanks

Hafren: Thanks for your comment. Yep, the rocks are NBVC's Rip-Rap Sea Wall

Estates to the Real: Thanks! The green coloring is just part of the sea wall.

Time for another (very) short update :)

There once was a time, long since past, when Rock Creek was almost inseparable from its coal. The city's

rowhomes depended upon it's warmth to last through the unpredictable Mid-Atlantic winter, while factory

smokestack's spewed countless tons of it into the air, coating buildings and lungs with a thick, yet

economically reassuring layer of grime. Today, after a series of clean air acts, the sky is noticeably

cleaner, and coal is not nearly so visible. Yet it is still vital to the every day economy, forming over

70% of the area's raw-materials trade.

Coal has even come to define whole neighborhoods, such as Lignite village, named after the poor quality

coal once processed at a local facility.

I'm really enjoying your City Journal - It's definitely one of my current faves.

I really enjoy looking at the lay of Rock Creek's coastal infrastructure--smooth roadways and rails, in contrast with the stark grid of your gritty industrial/low wealth sector. I agree with others , your CJ is on fire! One question: in Downtown-Southside, you employ grass-grown parking lots. Happen to remember where you found these/who designed them?
