Trenton - The Trenton Badgers
TekindusT: Thanks! Also, I learned about those effects from your CJ, since you did such a good job implementing the effect
K50dude: Thank you! Hopefully my Photoshop skills will improve from here, I think this is just the beginning
Daan300: Thanks!
Simcitymasterman: Thanks for commenting! I’m a little unsure about hosting the simlympics, space is running tight throughout the region, and I don’t think I have space for a venue. However, I will definitely consider it!
Naftixe: Thank you! I’ll be sure to use that little badge, its an honor being on the board!
In Other News: Hooray! 
Thats me, so thanks for commenting guys!
I woke up bright and early in the morning, not from an alarm clock, but from my cell phone, which was incessantly ringing. I picked up, and heard that I had to go do another story on Trenton, because apparently there was a lot of development there.
So, I crawled out of bed and left the little bed n’ breakfast to retrace my steps.
I got back on the ferry, and crossed the small bay again.
I almost missed the train leaving, but when I got on I settled in. Maybe I should buy a camera. When the train entered TrentonCity lines, I started noticing different things.
[update43_0005]
Beginning with the new Industrial Park! This was part of zone “D”, which was voted on in Trenton earlier.
Also present was the new Trenton Minor-league Stadium! This was built in conjunction with the formation of Trenton’s own baseball team, the Trenton Badgers! I stopped by to get a talk with the team’s coach, I thought it would be a good writing piece for the newspaper.
The coach told me that the team actually purchased more land than they needed for the stadium, because they wanted to add a different (football) field, or expand their existing stadium. The Coach said he put the vote up with the council, and that they were voting on it very soon. He also mentioned that the stadium was a part-time baseball stadium and part-time soccer stadium.
This is where you can vote!
The Trenton Badgers want to add a new stadium or expand their existing stadium! So, they’ve put it up to vote with the Trenton city council, where you (the residents!) can vote!
A) Add a new football stadium, and convert the existing stadium to a permanent baseball stadium. (They can use the football stadium for soccer).
B) Expand the Existing Stadium. It really should hold more people, after all, Trenton is a growing city.
C) A or B, but add more parking lots next to it. This is costly, but may attract more people to the games, which means more tourists, which means more money!
D) Don’t build either. The land can be used more effectively, like for public space.
After I was done talking, I hopped on a nearby Tram to go to downtown Trenton.
I passed by another industrial park, which was actually converted from a farm. Seems like Trenton is really industrializing itself. However, that was nothing compared to what I saw next.

Downtown Trenton was stunning! There was a great plethora of new commercial buildings going up, as well as apartments! I stuck on the tram, and started making my way towards the government buildings.
I found my way to city hall, and met up with the mayor! He started talking about his plan to modernize Trenton, and supercede Calgary and LexingtonBay! He told me Trenton had plenty of new attractions, including a new marina, a Stock exchange, a Convention center, and a ‘Royal’ library! He also showed me a shot of Trenton’s waterfront, too.
It was an amazing photograph, and clearly, Trenton was not a small town anymore. The mayor told me that there was another place he wanted to bring into downtown, but was not doing as well.
The mayor told me that a new marina had been built West of downtown Trenton, but that development there was still not as good. He was looking for ways to improve the area, but now could only think of adding a new tram line. I recommended that he create more suburbs to encourage commercial growth there. The mayor said he would consider it, and he was asking some of his advisors as well. Finally, the mayor showed me a new suburb that was built.
He said this suburb was developing really well, and attracting very ritzy members of society
I thanked the mayor for the time to talk with me and left. I noticed it was only noon, so I decided to stop by a new chain hotel, the Westing Hotel, renowned for the restaurants inside. It also had a lot of public amenities.
I sat down, ordered a sandwich, and debated where I would go to next. Maybe find a good camera to buy.
Hey everyone! So that’s it for that update, I’m thinking about going to another big city for the next update, so our little journalist can find a suitable camera. Also, I did a major revamping of downtown Trenton since the last update, so I gotta link for all you who want to see an updated night shot! It can be seen Here.
Until next time!
