Several weeks later, Auburn Central Station was planned to be built in the Marina District, right along Harbor Drive...Mayor Gordon was a master of getting things done fast! I was impressed Local architect James Brown was hired to design & construct the elevated station. I am a big fan of his work throughout the county. The line would run down Market Street and continue along down 4th Ave. The original plan was to have a ground light rail but was scrapped by the city council. The city didn't wanted trains...

~OFFICIAL: CJ REVIEW~

By GreekMan,

CJ Review by Evillions ----------- The Auburn Metropolitan Area city journal, opened on May 15, 2011, features an American themed region that progressively expands. The author is attempting to build a very large region while retaining realistic features. At the moment, the author published twenty-two updates. While viewing each update, I realized that the cities were decent, but nothing special. For example, the road networks were too grid-like and the sprawl was more wealthier than an average American...

Hello! Sorry for not having an update since the middle of August. I was in Santa Barbara, California for 10 days then I came back and started school which was last week! Hopefully I can get back into the grove of things and update more frequently! Last time we were in Auburn, she was in the mist of a large population boom. AS the first couple thousand people arrived into the harbor to call Auburn their new home, the city quickly began to widen (1) Harbor Blvd running east-west and (2) Broadway which is...

Welcome to Auburn's Regional Airport! NOTE: My airports may not seem very realisitc to some so please don't bash mine. This is the way I do it! Nnuff said! Auburn's airport connects the citizens of Auburn to other major cities around Auburn. The airport does not connect people from Auburn to one of the major cities around the world. You must fly first to a major hub then connect to go anywhere else. Auburn is still too small for a major airport. Two closeups of the terminal during evening rush hour. The...
