Hello everyone, It's been well over a year since I've posted and I've been away for quite a bit working on my collegiate pursuits as well as attempting to keep a great GPA.I am now a junior at college and I just celebrated my 20th birthday. In addition I've been on Simtropolis for six great years and it's been great. Now, I'm not going to say it's the end, but I am trying my best to keep connected with everyone of you. So I'm going to post while I can and try to make some beautiful work for you guys to enjoy!
:-) Thanks everyone!

Adeline is a mid-sized city that was developed throughout the 1920's into the 1960's. The population of the city hovers around 89,000 and has developed into the one of the most densely populated cities in the country due to it's compact size. The city has one of the average incomes per household and while the city has become a shining beacon of a commuter city it has been left in-between an era of urbanization and a residential paradise.
Downtown Adeline is a product of the construction boom of the 1960's. Many of the buildings here are rather small in footprint size and concrete clad. Sandstone streets were preserved from the original era of it being a small railroad town which was incorporated in 1877. The city center's plaza has not changed much since the 1960's and Adeline was spared from the blight of the 1970's.
Ebausi Hill is a residential neighborhood that is immediately east of the rail station. The development of the area happened in two spurts between 1929-1938 and 1959-1967. In between those two points, there were very few buildings built. After that point, construction began in the area again during the late 1990's. Rents for apartments here are relatively cheap and most young professionals stay in this neighborhood.
Mondégast Hotel is the first hotel built along the Central Avance Railway in the early 1910's. It was the first hotel of it's kind servicing many famous people during it's time. Inside the hotel, there is a 2 floor suite that is dedicated to being used by the royal family. The view of the railway from the hotel became blocked in 1998 when a noise barrier was put in place against the railway to reduce the effects of noise pollution in the area.
South Adeline was developed mainly during the 1960's. The older and derelict housing was torn down in the late 1990's to make room for newer wall-to-wall apartments and a high rise that helped to raise property values.
Due to the small core of the city, many homes outside of .75 miles of the CBD are single family homes. Many of these homes are products of 1950s and 1960's construction.
Cîva is located southwest of the city center and is home to larger single family homes. Most of these homes usually run for 240,000 SDL (403,200 USD) on average. There is also a house owned by the prime minister Marianne Delsa which is in this area.
Gaumont Mall opened in 2008 as a premier retail outlet in the area. It's construction marked a new era of development that would help bring this small sized city into a more modern age.
Even though it is not Adeline on a map, the Township of Prassienetta is administrated by the city of Adeline. Prassienetta lies north of the city center is bounded by the Sylie Highway to the south and the suburb of Rhyeswhile to the north. Prassienetta does not have it's own school, fire department, police department, and it is serviced by the Adeline Bus System.
