Colwitten Village: Old Roman Meets New Modern.

Teddyland's oldest city, Colwitten Village is originally a roman trading post. The modern city was once part of a roman farm, with the trading post surrounding a road that still exists.

The first exit into town, Dowquist Pkwy is a busy street that runs through Tedsville and cities north of Colwitten Village. This main throughfare is beautifully designed, with a mix of residental, commerce and industrial zoning.

Downtown- this historic district dates to the 12th century, when the Christian Wars nearly destroyed this town. Only when the Christians won over the Pagans did the town truly thrive.

Grasmore Park, This roman inspired park features many gardens, and is a showcase of its past. Popular, beautiful, and above all a mirage in a constant cityscape, Grasmore Park is a wonderful edition to the city.

The original roman road remains here on Adelmark Rd. Tress line parts of the road, and its beauty is a remnant of its roman past.

An example of neighborhood design within the city, the contemporary European style shows clearly. Many think the city is designed with a confusing, and disorienting layout, but locals love it. So I guess the design is here to stay.

See you again soon.

I agree with Kim - that last picture really shows how you've sent the grid packing. Good job!

Loving the neighborhoods.  The only thing I'm not to sure about is the tower in the centre of Downtown. The scale seems off with with the buildings next to it.
