Welcome to Anywhere's

Welcome again to the area... in this new update I'd like to discuss some of the growing pains that are showing up in the region.

Before I get to showing you things let me update you quickly on the things that have been occurring in the last several months, to about a year.

First, the area is considering to build a new rail system to suit the needs of the growing industrial areas in the region. The main problem with this is that most people where the railroad is going to be going, aren't particularly thrilled w/the idea. Especially since there is hardly anyone that lives where they do (or so they say). Local townspeople claimed that, "...There was no reason to ever build such a preposterous thing as a railroad in the region, because there isn't enough traffic or people for it." The Regional Planning Commission, or the RPC had argued w/the courts and also the townspeople enough to the point where a Superior Court got involved. In the end the ruling went in favor of the railroad being constructed, and so then paved the way to a new railroad system to be built.

The below picture shown here is what the RPC called "ridiculous".

 Here we see more dirt being moved and more development occurring

Here's another shot same place but after the ruling for a new railroad went through.

Here's a set of photos showing the progression of a new highway interchange being built. 

1.) Beginnings of the bridge foundation

3.) Secondary roads and off/onramp area gets graded. Some secondary roads are being taken out and redone for the project.MountainView-HWY4Interchangeprogres.jpg

4.) Bridgework, roadwork, and secondary roads are finished. The landscaping and shoulder work is being completed.

 Despite the fact that the grid is activated on a few of the images, This is a really nice start! Good job!

(It looks like you know, but in case you don't, turn the grid off by tapping "G" on the keyboard)

Thanks guys I appreciate the positive comments... I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to build in the last pic. It's almost too nice to mess up
