Yes! I'm still alive!

This update should've been ready a month ago, but you all know how it is. This is my first small town in a while so hopefully you enjoy :)

San Urbano is the name of a town surrounding what is probably the largest oasis in the Nahazzan Desert, a massive dusty plain going across the north of the country, and extending far north beyond that. Saint Pope Urban is the namesake of this town; his life is mysterious, similar to the life of the oasis that the town depends on.

The Old Town, as well as the town lawn and church.

The high school and athletics complex are to the south of the Old Town.

Outside are many agricultural areas, utilizing the water of the large oasis.

New developments to the south of the oasis.

New Chandlerites have always lived in dense areas, new apartments and condos spring up with oasis and desert dune views, even though San Urbano is a small town.

More farms, and National Highway 1, a new and expensive road that connects all the way back to the people in New Chandler City who planned it halfway across the country.

Night shots. Not my forte by any means, but hopefully you enjoy them anyway!

To be honest, this update, while interesting and a change from the usual, felt a bit lacking on almost all the pictures. I feel San Urbano needs to get more work done.

 

It's a nice update, but it definitely isn't your best.

I don't recall seeing many oases in city journals - really enjoying how you've done yours.

By the way, my next update will probably be more of my usual tropical style, I've gotten mixed reviews from this one... we'll see what happens.

 

ggamgus: Thanks for your comment, I could probably agree with you there.

Mithrik: Thanks for your comment, and for the private message, I really appreciate it :)

Forthwall: Thanks for stopping by, glad I managed to impress you!

sim_link: Thanks Link, I'm glad you thought it was great.

felano: Thanks for leaving your advice, that's a little tricky. I know that oases have lots of water, so some of the lots might use more? That was my logic anyway, but I'll think about it next time I try a desert :D

Schulmanator: Glad you liked it my friend, thanks for the compliment!

TekindusT: Thanks for stopping by as you always do, glad you liked my using of them :)

Cefien: I'm happy you thought so, thanks for the praise!

Benedict: Thanks for the continued comments, I was inspired by what _marsh_ did with Gansbaai... but obviously, I've got a long way to go to get to his level :P

TayMay27: Thanks for stopping by... er... Tempe Town Lake? (but that's kinda lame :P)

Alejandro24: Thanks for the compliment, I'm glad you thought so!
