I-6 to Redwood
DUN DUN DUN DUN..... I am happy to announce that as of now this CJ is more than just a city! It has been expanded into a whole freaking state. 
I decided to name the state "New Cholula" after the pyramid of Cholula in Puebla, Mexico, which is derived from an ancient Nahuatl name. I'll add the state info to the very first update. For now:
State Motto: "A condor in the hand is worth more than almost anything"
State Capital: Redwood
Largest City: San Lorenzo
State Song: "Oh Lovely Little Cholula"
State Bird: California "Freedom" Condor**
State Tree: Coast Redwood
**New Cholula has had a lengthy history of anti-California paranoia. The use of "Freedom Condor" instead of "California Condor" was first started in the early 1900s when state government accused California of influencing on their state. In 1909, all references to California were replaced with different words.
I-6 is the main freeway between San Lorenzo and Redwood on Stratford Island, one of a couple islands in the state of New Cholula.
What can I say... I like there to always be some free space to build!
Starting off in the suburbs of San Lorenzo, this highway is known as the "Lorenzo Loop" because it goes in a complete circle. The highway that splits from it then turns into a freeway, I-6.
Merlinville is one of the first small towns along the interstate freeway.
Peregrine Creek is more industrial, and has a big freightyard. Unfortunately the town has fallen under hard times during the Recession.
Peregrine Creek's "twin town", Fruit Valley, is much more recreational. It is home to the Falcon County Fair, in which people from all over Falcon County gather to have fun.
Heading farther east and up the hills, we get to a drier terrain than in the west. This is Drywater here, which was built in 1885 as a mining town. It has since grown into a larger town, and even has its own Walmart!
No interstate is complete without a tacky tourist trap, and the Lil' Gunslinger Shopping Center fulfills that duty. Once an abandoned mining town with only a small little community living there, the whole town was renovated and turned into a big shopping center, with many familiar chain stores.
