This is a preview of my new CJ, it has a lot of sprawling to come, but here are a few shots...

 

 

 

 

The Pacific Circle

In the heart of Pacific Bay, a census designated area in south San Joaqin Beach, lies the Pacific Circle and plaza.  The intersection and surrounding town was founded in 1918 and has become host to annual events such as "The International Food Festival" the first weekend in May, as well as the "Harvest Festival & Oktoberfest" in September.  All six streets are blocked off for each event and local restaurants cook outdoors.  Most of the businesses in and around the circle are restaurants; health food, gastropub, pizza, mexican food, and diners.  At Christmas, lights are strung from building to palm tree and palm tree to building.  Many of the buildings around the circle have been deemed local landmarks, and the old overgrown trees have plenty of hearts with initials scratched in their bark.  Pacific Bay is a close-knit community, and the circle is the meeting point.

San Joaquin Beach Civic Center & City Hall

The center for city management and administration.  Some events are held here like the annual Taste of Los Reyes, the 4th of July City Block Party & BBQ, and the April 20th Smokeout for Freedom and Date Shake Festival.  Further down is Grizzly Bear Park, packed on the weekends with kids sports.

I must confess that I rarely spend time in the City Journals section of this site, but this being featured on the front page here made me click in.  Glad I did; I always enjoy seeing my BATs pop up in others' cities.  It makes it feel like all the effort to make them was worth it.  Plus I wish my cities looked as good as this...!

Southern atmosphere, mid rise lots indeed fit perfectly; larger town maybe more urban less green only in pockets around, high rise for most do need a lot more of infrastructure so whole clean green look will be at stake, well done to the creator and modder of these nice creations, well done !
