Ionica - Night Out
Summer is coming to a close and that can only mean one thing in Ionica: Party Time!
And where to party? In the Zone with the hottest night life in the city, Avalon.
Every year at the end of August there is a long weekend and Ionicans flock to the heart of the city to celebrate the 'end of summer' and beginning of the work or school year.
How does it sound if we spend the night out?
Amongst the densely pack skyscrapers can be found some of the city's most popular rooftop bars, restaurants, and lounges.
Mirror Mirror Bar - Four Seasons Avalon
Cosmos Lounge - Lancelot Hotel Avalon
GLOW Bar - Avalon Mutual Provident Building (34th floor)
If you stop by the Borg Entertainment Cube don't forget to check out Lounge Blue, where anything a SimCity futurist wants is available (legal restrictions apply).
From the Avalon Central Station you can get anywhere in the CBD. Once you exit the Station you are only 5 minutes away from anywhere you want to be.
Avalon has changed a lot in the past 30 years, but one thing remains the same: the food. Restaurants featured in the Guide to the Bicentennial like Nova, Per Se, Alinea, & The Fat Duck, are still serving some of the best food in the entire world.
Now that construction in the core is finally complete shopping in Avalon is the best it has been in year. You can go from one mall to another without even having to step outside.
And finally don't forget to check out Martin Sloveig, Madeon, and Knife Party headlining a massive concert at the new Avalon Stadium.
Terring: Can't wait for the development 
Neither can I. Pressing the play button is like unwrapping a highly anticipated gift.
tankmank: Its great to see that you changed the trains, it looks great. As for the update it's great to see the progression and change the zones have gone through, something most people don't show
Thanks for your input. I'm really liking the new trains, much better now.
KonstantinII: Even big cities like New York and Shanghai are constantly being rebuild and infrastructure being improved. Are there any traffic jams in Ionica?
Yup, that is exactly what inspired me to improve Avalon. There is one area in Avalon where the traffic is bad, but it is just in a small corner, it doesn't affect the core.
RepublicMaster: That's some great improvements! I can't wait to see more. 
Thanks. It takes some time because the bigger Avalon gets the more loading time everything requires.
Schulmanator: Very nifty! Nice to see the progress
Thanks.
Bipin: I heard you shout, I heard you loud and clear MilitantRadical! Thanks for using my turbo roundabout. Bye the way, I didn't see them, so in case they weren't added you may wish to include some entrance/exit ramps. You can use MIS and/or OWR for this. It should attack to the tiles parallel and next to the sunken section.
Thanks Bipin. One problem I noticed however is that the night light of your turbout is too dark for Maxis Night. I'll bring it up to you in the forum when I can take a screenshot.
Sylvio Jorge: It's so great to see the evolution of your CJ. Your cities were already great, but now they are unbelievably awesome. Congratulations. (I also loved the new train, it fits so nicely in your cities!)
Glad you're enjoying it. It has been quite a process. I've been working on Avalon on and off for like 4 or 5 months. I've finally had the time to put some finishing touches which is always the most tedious.
Ace❤: I love how much attention you pay to both architecture and transit networks. It creates a very dream-like CJ. In this update what really struck me was that double arch gateway in the second to last picture next to the moonlight canals. Beautiful touch. Amazing work overall. 
Thanks Ace. I just have a huge collection of BATs and I'm always trying to find a place for ones I have never used before. I'm always picking up odd BATs just for the heck of it.
Geometry: Very nice! But are you planning to use the RealHighway Mod?
I'll look into it on the next NAM update. Can I install RHW without interfering with the highways I already have?
Hazani Pratama: Great Development!
Thanks.
raynev1: You have mad simcity skills , This looks awesome . 5/5
And a little bit of time always helps. Thanks.
jwsteele: Where did you get that amazing park with the city hall area?
Here: Palais du Luxembourg.
SimCoug: It's always fun to see a 'behind the scenes' update. Great .gif by the way - that was fun to watch.
Thanks. I keep forgetting to date the pics in the gif so that you can know which is the first. I have a tendency to not keep photoshop save files.
Titanicbuff: ok thats distracting with the pictures suddenly changing- oh well- looks cool anyway.
Yeah it is a bit odd to look at. Thanks.
Thanks for Visiting.
