Good Morning Everyone!

Welcome to the latest entry to "Southern Cities!" This entry introduces my very loose, fictional recreation of The Citadel: Military College of South Carolina, a senior military college in Charleston. My version is still a work in progress, as there are still a few things to add. The last few pictures showcase the North Charleston Botanical Park and Pond, which features numerous trees found throughout South Carolina's Low Country.

 

Without further adieu, here is The Citadel:

Here is the parade ground surrounded by barracks housing the college's cadets, as well as academic buildings, library, and the field house. The parade ground itself is surrounded by numerous Live Oaks.

Here is the view of the Ashley River, with decorative cannons facing the river, over the marshes.

The northern corner of The Citadel, surrounded by homes and businesses. Separated from the outside world by a decorative fence. Entry is restricted to two, guarded gate-houses to keep the cadets inside :):

The stadium where The Citadel Bulldog's play football, soccer, and lacrosse games:

Eastern portion of the campus, abutting more marshland (still a WIP):

Here is the North Charleston Botanical Park and Pond during autumn:

Gravel parking lot at the Park, across the street from some very nice, historic houses:

The park has several dirt paths to ride your bike, or go for a jog. There are also some ball-courts for soccer/rugby/lacrosse, and tennis:

Hope you enjoyed this entry, stay tuned for additional entries!

Thanks @kschmidt! I appreciate your kind words! Those playing fields are basically fillers until I figure out something else to put there. The buildings I used as The Citadel's barracks is the Palacio Real in Madrid, Es. These were closest buildings I could find in SC4 to replicate The Citadel's barracks, as I haven't found anything similar to The Citadel's architecture:

And here is the actual, real-life, campus of the college:
