Dawnside

Population: 200,000ish

Away to the south,

Wedged between the hills and sea,

Lies the village of Dawnside,

or what is used to be...

Originally a small village nestled into a small, round valley, Dawnside was the happy recipient of ease of reach for mass transit systems into Jamestown.

The result?  suburban sprawl across miles of once open fields.

The original village was fenced in by a new downtown, and the old neighborhoods glamorized into a posh community with a special gimmick.

The ring road around the valley has become the annual venue for the Dornelles Grand Prix.

There is quite a tumult in Dawnside about the city's future.  All of the elements are in place for Dawnside to blossom into another major city in the region.  But many residents moved to Dawnside to escape that very thing.

Who knows what the Dawn will bring.

---------------------

Dawnside was originally nothing but farms.  Lots and Lots of them.

The tiny village sat on the edge of the flat farm lands and the wooded hills.

Well, the trains came, then bus routes, then a monorail line, then the Elevated Rail Network out of Jamestown made a loop, and most recently, I added 3 subway lines between Dawnside and Jamestown.

To say the cities are joined at the hip would be to pretend there was more then one hip.

I'd call it a bedroom community, but so many sims need way more services then a sleepy suburb.

This city and North Shore are the likely contestants to go big (over 500,000 sims) as the population growth continues.  I'd wager on Dawnside, mostly because Dawnside has lots of elbow room.
