@gogosago: thanks! and about the GDP, as a city state based on finance Hirohashi is abviously a rich country, most of the poor strata are immigrants that aren't residents, that's why the GDP os very high
@TowerDude: glad you like it! it was quite difficult to figure what effect use to give a 50s feeling
@Benedict, spursrule14: thanks!
This second part start in Makino Disctrict in the city of Hirohashi, we will roughly follow the tracks of Tomatsu Line just as we followed Saito Line in the first part.
Makino District lies in the central part of Hirohashi, between Kazeoka Hill and Higashigawa River, it borders on the south with Asumi District.
It's mostly a dense residential district but the central part it's also famous for the numerous music shops and live houses.
In the lower part of this pic you can see the glass roof of Komukudoori Station, along Tomatsu Line.
Makino Sanctuary is a Shinto temple located on the edge of Kazeoka Hill.
The Temple was built in 1918 when the city began expansion on this side of the hill.
Higashigawa Station is on the Obi Line (litteraly Belt Line, the circle line of the city) and in the central part of the District.
Poppo is a popular shopping center chain in the state and due to his vicinity to the station this shop is very busy.
In the lower left corner you can see part of the main commercial and leisure street in the district.
Both Obi Line and Tomatsu Line converge in the modern glass Makino Station.
From the station starts a popular shopping street that ends on the waterfront of the river. The buildings along the street are mostly music shops.
A small creek run in the middle of the street: it was a small creek coming down from the hill that was covered by the street during the 70s, in 2003 with the growing importance of de district as a leisure spot the creek was reopened cleaned and nicknamed Makino Creek.
(You can't see very well Makino Creek in this pic: you can find a better view in the final mosaic)
Many midrise buildings, mostly occupated by recording studios and live houses, are located near the main shopping street.
Obi Line and Tomatsu Line run parallel each other toward Asumi Station.
A lot of residential highrise stand in this part of the district.
