Baychester City: South Slopes
Sorry Everybody for the wait, but I'm back finally. This CJ still has a pair of updates left. I remember telling everyone about how Baychester was split into three parts. This is the final (and best, in my opinion) third of my humble northeastern city.
We start off with a general description. The city of Baychester lies on the banks of a minor river as it empties into the Atlantic Ocean. South Slopes is the part of the city straddling the opening of the river. Bayfront Park is the largest park in the borough of the city, and it lies in the residential side of town.
This image also shows one of the larger housing developments in Baychester. These are the New Vision Apartments. the development consists of eight large apartment buildings split into two rows of four. These buildings were built in a partnership between the city government and a large private housing developer, and they are run completely independently of the government. These buildings are therefore much nicer than their government-run counterparts, and they are much, much more expensive to live in.
across the river lies the historic downtown. The name south slopes comes from the ridge that forms the demarcation between the historic town and the newer town. This is the edge that is farthest from the city center.
Moving closer to the city, you hit Miller Field, home of the Baychester Corsairs, Baychester's beloved MLB team. This team, founded in 1934, is winners of 9 World Series, most recently in 2006. The stadium with its capacity of 23,697 has had over 3,000 consecutive sellouts (over forty years worth!).
Farther intown, one comes upon one of Baychester's historic landmarks, the Forraker Tower. Built in 1931, the tower has served as office space ever since its inception, and it was the tallest building in Baychester for 35 years.
Ocean Street serves as the boundary road for historic downtown as on one side of it lies the seawall. This street no longer has quite the traffic that it used to, but it is still home to some iconic Baychester establishments.
And finally, here is an overview of the historic downtown district. The next and FINAL update shows the new downtown area of South Slopes, one that you can begin to see at the top right of this picture.
