Golden Hill  / Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway

Note: Welcome back everyone, its been awhile since I uploaded my progress, and as soon as I was ready the whole site went down so now that we are back I will try to began to update regularly again.

To start we will be looking at 25th Street at F Street in Golden Hill.  I have indicated on the map where this location would be by placing the gold star.  This is directly next to the Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway (California Route 94) looking west towards what is so far completed of downtown San Diego.  I recognize there is a fire going on now that I look at the picture but I suppose I was not paying attention when getting the images.  The Golden Hill neighborhood is directly next to downtown and is one of the first neighborhoods established in San Diego.

Not coming far from the last picture, this is taken from the Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway (California Route 94).  Because of map limitations I will only be able to go to about as far as 28th Street.  I may be able to go as far as the 30th Street bridge but the map is cut off way before the Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway meets the California Route 15 (which turns into Interstate 15 further north).

I do not have much knowledge of the Golden Hill neighborhood since I think I have only driven through it once.  Because of this I had to look at many street views through Google maps.  As said in a previous post, I will try to recreate the city as good a I possibly can, but am not going to even try to attempt to create a fully scaled model of San Diego.  I realize Broadway, C Street, and B Street all go over Interstate 5 into downtown and I will eventually make a connection but with the current ramps coming from the Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway, I could tell it was going to be an extremely large hassle.

The rest of these images are just going to be aerial views of the area and what has been completed so far.  The next neighborhood I am planning to work on will be South Park and the southern part of North Park.  If anyone has any good ideas for the zoo area and Balboa Naval Hospital in Balboa Park it would be much appreciated.

My hometown... You've got a lot of it right, it's unfortunate that because of the games' freeway and ramp limitations, the connections look very unrealistic... I keep saying this in my reviews because I only have the ability to hate it and nothing else... An excellent effort though.

So far so good.  I don't have this game so I can't help you with the zoo or hospital, but I'm interested in seeing how you're going to go about recreating Seaport Village, Coronado Hotel, and Sea World...if those are even possible.  I haven't been down there in about a decade, but if I remember correctly, there was an ostrich or emu farm right by the zoo or wild animal park......anyways, great entry!
