When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.

This beautiful flower market was rebuilt by Amthaak in 2009, after it was lost along with the rest of the city due to force majeure event back in 2007 (you can see the original here). Belleville City Council, eternally thankful for his kindness, named this square in his name :read:

Oh, I wish you could smell all these flowers...

This is a really nice update. I love the idea-makes me think of old city centers. The tram brings a nice touch as well, especially with the station being right there at the shop.

Lovely stuff - I've never seen that flower market building in a CJ before, thanks for making it the centerpiece of your update.

Belleville is indeed a belle ville. Yup, I remember me some French from my college days. Also, I agree wholeheartedly with the Victor Hugo quote!

I have to say that the original is better than mine...! Anyway, It was a great honor to help the famous mayor of Belleville to rebuilt his beautifull city, great subtle mixed of poetry and pleasure for the eyes, can't wait for next update! :thumb:

Funny, the town I live in is named Belleville! (irony?) Anyway, excellent work, this doesn't deserve 3 stars, it deserves 5! It looks like a lot of work was put in this.

JFQuebec, the tram stop is Japanese, created a long time ago by NOB. You can see the whole set [url="http://hide-inoki.com/bbs/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=456"]here[/url]. However, I haven't been able to find his home page anymore, must be closed down... You can read a discussion on this also [url="https://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/68471-plex-on-the-stex-community-support/forum/index.php?topic=9265.0"]here[/url].
As for the flower market, it hasn't been released.

Well, I can definitely see that there is high demand for releasing it ;) Belleville City Council will do its best to comply with popular demand.
