Entry 2, The Core......

Entry 2: The Core. (For Some Reason all the cars don't show up in pictures, but its actually heavily traffic)

In cities around the world, there's always at least one thing to do, here its a entire mess....

In Downtown Winnebago, there's a lot to do, good and bad. The city life, is glamorous, if you know what you are doing, and where.

Beautiful, downtown Winnebago Michigan, Known for its historic art deco styled skyscrapers, its clubs, restaurants, shopping, as well as its share of crime. Downtown may look fine, and perfect, but within, it sits a area of crime. This city is almost known, for the WPA (Winnebago People Mover) controlled by the Winnebago Transit Authority, its popular but in disrepair.

The other area of Downtown, home of the tallest structure, the US Bank tower. As well as much parking as one can see. It's odd with it, a distant from the main area of downtown, a tall structure in the way of medium density, urban planners weren't smart of this one.

The suburbia area of Winnebago, just beyond Downtown. It's growing to huge populations, and is known for medium and high wealth to mostly live in it, with it being close to downtown... As well as a target.

Just like any other city, this city has to have a sports venue, for all the screams to be let out.

Like any other city, major shopping districts arise, to move business from downtown. JCPenney, Nordstrom, Hacht's, McDonald's, and other major brands sit here, taking business and giving the city, its major retail zone

The mall, a popular gateway to teenagers who sit in the back of the arcade, or adults shopping for that good deal. Surrounded by hotels, Walmart, and new shopping centres, waiting to take the business from the mall.

Then, sitting in the western corner of the main area of Winnebago, slums easily gather, away from the city lights, and into a medium density land of ghettos, and public housing. It's a trash ridden, high crime area. Where the lowest of the low live, where the poor family must rest, as its cheap, and dumpy apartments is all they have.

The graffiti won't ever stop here....

Good Night, Winnebago.....

Next time, we will look at the Winnebago's Western suburb, the city of Westminster, Michigan.

Very nice post.

 

I'm from outside Detroit and your W2W residential reminds me of Detroit. You also have a very nice transfer of high to mid to low density (realistic).

 

Looks great and I will be watching your CJ going forward.

Looks good! Good mix of buildings. Some of the houses I haven't seen before and they look good here.

 

Also, Don't you wish we had something that said GM Center, Ford Arena, or Chrysler Fieldhouse? Some people just won't have that stuff around our state hahahaha. Ahhhh automotive humor....

Thank you for the feedback everyone!

*Note* There is a few things I left out on purpose about the city, as I have plans to return to the downtown area in later entries.

Good to see how one can still make an awesome cj without the 'pressure' of needing a perfect RHW interchange, or perfectly lined up networks. Your city is beautifully organic and reminds me of the SC4 cities I used to make - and wish I still could
