Southern Cities: Aiken!

Good Evening!

After some delay I am proud to introduce you to Aiken! Unlike my other cities, I attempted to re-create the city to the best of my ability. Without the many mods that dedicated SC4 fans created, this would not be possible, so I am grateful to you all!

And now, pictures of Aiken! You will notice that many of the streets in downtown Aiken are separated by a leafy median, providing extra shade to Aikenites during the heat of a Carolina summer.

This picture shows some of the shops in downtown Aiken, this is only the northern edge of downtown, as the CBD is much bigger than this small block. These shops are surrounded by historic homes, many of which were built in the mid-19th century.

This picture shows the historic Mead Hall Episcopal School, a prestigious private school within Aiken city limits.

Here is the Hitchcock Woods, one of the largest urban forests in the US, which preserves the Long-leaf pine-wiregrass ecosystem common to the Sandhills/lower Piedmont of South Carolina.

Enjoy! Stay tuned to additional entries for Aiken in the coming days!
