Central Station

By _marsh_,

Alright. I dont have no huge comeback update or special thing. Im just going to continue the updates as if this large absence never happened. This update Ive had planned for the next one before it crashed. So... enjoy. The recent construction of Vancouver Central Station will soon get Vancouver connected with the rest of Canada via the Canadian Pacific Railway which runs all the way across Canadia. Vancouver itself is not big enough for its own Central Station, but once the Railray is complete, all...

Comin Back

By _marsh_,

I was backing up Zukuraai today when I saw somthing, An old backup of Vancouver. I tried it out and it worked! Ive opened up over half the ity tiles and so far it looks pretty good. Chances are slim that it gets screwed up but whatever. Look for a new update coming soon! ,marsh P.S. This will not interfare with Gansbaai in ANY way.

Well, Horsefly Speedway is amazingly close to being up and running. I bought the property for almost nothing, so it was a realy dood deal, especialy due to its proximity to Cedar, as well as Beaton. Beaton is a run-down ol' town. Many of the residents are happy about the Speedway since it will definitly get visitors to go into town and buy stuff whil thier there. My brother is a construction worker, and is still building the Pressbox, (Hes doin it for free!), and that fella who jumps canyons is gonna be...

Soon to come to Nunr

By _marsh_,

Very recently the towns of Galifrey and Nunr have voted on a Bill. this bill incorperates the two townships into a single one. These two towns have been growing closer and closer together, and the border of the two towns is very ill defined. It would be easier for the goverment, law enforcment, and even the citizens themselfs, if both towns would become one. Both towns have a very significant amount of funds. The two pools of money made the new town amoungst the richest in Vancouver. The new goverment...

Ward Bound

By _marsh_,

Hi there, My name is Joseph Franklin. My wife and I recently decided that we would move from our home in Nathrop, to a peaceful town north of Vancouver called Kitslano. Its a long boat ride there since there are no roads to it. Mabey we can stop at my parents house on the way. Our old house is a nice Victorian-style one, built about 35 years ago. I never was very enthusiastic about the color, but I still loved it either way. However Nathrop is growing too fast for me. A more rural life would be better for...

Bolts in Larimer

By _marsh_,

Curently there is a large project going on in Larimer. Its small... but for the city, its the largest to date. What the project is doing is pretty much making a retaining wall, in order to build the new power plant. A (very) similar project happened right nerby to support some warehouses. The hill is way to steep to support large buildings, but with the new idea of retaining walls, Large buildings are now possible on steep hills. In about a month, the Larimer Power Plant was completed. It is now the...

Northwest Lumber is aparently a New Lumber Company that just came up here to Vancouver. NW Lumber has been up a bit down south in Seattle for a few years now. I've seen their new logo. That forest background apparently makes it seem like the company is FOR saving trees, however... I have this crazy idea that there not. I recently saw a picture in Logan Town Hall of NW Lumbers recent land Aquisitions. Alot of them are located very close to my farm, (located at the tip of that thar inlet near Logan. All...

Vancouverage University is the the first university in Vancouver. It isnt in Vancouver its self, but south of it in Gould. But who needs to get technical right? The University is only down the road from Vancouver, but sims are tired of driving there. The Rail road goes right by Vancouverage, however the stations down the way a a bit far to walk. One station is in the industrial area... The other near City Hall... So a station was given the "Go Ahead" for construction near the University, and the building...

A Letter to the City,

By _marsh_,

Dear City Councill, I am Mr. Blahbady Blah the III. I am pleased with the new cause way you recently constructed to Agate Island where I curently live. It makes getting to work so much easier. I used to have to take a ferry to the mainland, (a whole 20 yards away), then walk all the way to the Vancouver Market. Now I can just drive there! I want to thank you. This Causeway allowed me to more esily moniter the market, and now have moved it to a larger building! (Attatched is a picture of the new...

Vancouver Now

By _marsh_,

Vancouver's a growing city. The Region itself has already over 10,000 people. And it is growing fast. The largest city is... Vancouver, of course. The second largest is the town of Nathrop, located right across the bay to the south. Part of the settlement which exsisted in the 1700's still exists today including Fort Vancouver and two ships. The ship, St. Dynamite, (renamed St. Dynamene in 1752), still survives. The western gold rush seekers found it drydocked when they first arrived at the abandoned...

The First Vancouver

By _marsh_,

A european boat... sailing for over three years from France, to the West Indies, to the "New World" in the 1700's. It was sent by France to set up a colony on the WEST coast. Not the east like everyone else. Three years and finaly, LAND HO! The ship, St. Dynamite, anchored off a small island near the mainland. The crew decided to start the settlement on this small island, instead of the mainland, because it would offer better defense against Canadian Pirates, and British Ships. The crew began chopping down...
