Interstate Tour - Michaelsville and Allentown

Interstate Tour - Michaelsville and Allentown

Just after crossing Michael Bay, we enter the city of Michaelsville as we move further down I-5. To the west of I-5 is still Darrylton, and to the east is Michaelsville. Exit 3 is for Michaelsville Pike---3B takes you west through Darrylton and Fairfax, ending in Arbor View on the far east edge of Dexington; 3A takes you southeast past downtown Michaelsville, ending at I-20.

Continuing down I-5, mile marker 3 marks the city line between Michaelsville and San Andreas.

This is another view of a wide part of Michael Bay. On the east side we can see the rest of Serengeti, a residential neighborhood in Rayban Point, and more of Johnstown, a residential neighborhood in Juan Carlos.

On this side of the bay, we see a bulk of Michaelsville and its many neighborhoods--Jones Point, Renaissance Park, April Estates, Casey, Katana, Nunchaku, Saisdale, Boville, Turtle Park, Leonardo Park, Splinter Heights, Michelangelo Park, Raphael Park, Donatello Point, and Shreddington. We can also see a few more neighborhoods in Darrylton---Dasai, Aquafina, Acadia, Fujimont, Purcelville, and Poland Springs.

Here are a few neighborhoods in San Andreas---Rico Pines, Patricksburg, and Crystal Lakes. There is also one more neighborhood in Michaelsville we missed---O'Neill. We can also see the bulk of Donatello Point, a rich neighborhood that juts out into Turtle Bay.

And finally, there is Allentown, the last city before crossing the Michael Bay Bridge into Juan Carlos. Allentown is one of many industrial powerhouses with industrial centers like Iverson and Debbington. It has very few residential neighborhoods--Marcus Manor, Payne Point, Woody Gardens, Joan Manor, Timsdale, and Stevesburg.

This is Michaelsville's very modest downtown right off Michaelsville Pike.

This is Splinter Heights, the most populous neighborhood in Michaelsville.

Splinter Heights has its own commercial sector in the form of a strip of low-rise commercial buildings along I-20.

April Estates.

Allentown does not really have a downtown, but if it did, this area would qualify.

San Andreas Country Club, the eastmost point of San Andreas. The edge of the country club marks the city line between San Andreas and Michaelsville.

And of course, here are some clean shots of the entire Grid F4. And we are now less than three miles from the Tauria State Line.

Yet another awesome update!! Cant wait to get to the center city! I think one of my fav. parts about big cities is driving through its suburbs! To see all the different road names and interchanges and when the highway crosses over the streets to look down for that brief second and see all the cars driving, its just amazing how big cities are. :)

Haha thanks again, nate1245. I have to agree with you, my favorite part is driving through the suburbs and hitting a point where you catch a glimpse of the massive skyline off in the distance, and watching it get bigger and seeing more detail as you get closer and closer. Are you from a big city yourself?
