Hello people, welcome back with the fifth chapter for the guide to the city of Aurora. Let's start as usual with your comments:
FEEDBACK CORNER
Ln X Very nice hillside pictures, it is great how you squeeze housing onto Lyon Hill.
To be honest I thought it was a detail going unnoticed, I'm really happy you got it!
IRVINE
We continue the journey along Hellfire Bay moving south to reach a rather small but densely populated district: Irvine certainly is one of those areas where you can find an apartment at a good price, also because it's the only one among those of the bay that not directly faces the sea, being the highway in between.
Irvine is therefore certainly a residential neighborhood, though not lacking in several Points of Interest. The first to find leaving the highway it's the Trident Mall, a shoppig center where you can get the best deals throughout the whole city for all the major consumer goods, although it is not a real outlet.
Venturing into the heart of the district soon you reach the junction with the main street which divides Irvine into two: the north with the higher density buildings and the south instead characterized by low houses that arrive to the foot of the mountains.
THE BASEBALL STADIUMThere you will surely have noticed the huge and bizarre structure that dominates the neighborhood. That is the baseball stadium, and since I think to this stage you're probably saying "what the..." then I have to give some in-depth explanation about it. Initially, the idea was to use one of the pre-built baseball stadiums downloadable through the Workshop, that no matter how beautiful they appeared a huge flaw distinguishes them: they're ridiculously small in size compared to the rest of the buildings. Better explain it directly with a picture:
As you can see the stadium is very nice, but it seems that inside it there may only be gnomes! As the molecular transmutation isn't something I want to consider for the city and since I really wanted a baseball dedicated stadium (how sad it would be without? 
) I realized that the only way forward was to build it from scratch, and to do so the only option was to use the modular stadium by Drosovilla. You judge the final result. What I can say is that if you find it strange I agree with you, but that's it wanting to create something proportionate to the context (imho).
A fitting name for the home team could be "Aurora Illuminati" or "Aurora Masons"... something like that, don't you think? 
Well, for sure it's original and since it's been quite a nightmare to build (made possible only using Road Anarchy) I shall finally say to be quite satisfied with it. In fact, I bought a ticket for the match: 
But that's not all fr Irvine: always on Main Street, directly opposite the stadium, it's the most important Baptist Church of the city. The priest must be a fan, you know.
There's some more: behind the church a large municipal park begins and extends to the end of the neighborhood:
It is the ideal place for outdoor picnics, jogging or take the dog for a walk!
And that's all for this episode. I ask you do not miss your opinions, I'm particularly curious to know what you think about the stadium!
Keep followin' and you'll be surprised!
