There is a lot to cover in this particular grid (Grid E5) of the metropolitan area, so it will be broken up into two parts. We are continuing down I-20, and we leave the tiny slither of Dexington that we touched and finally hit the Tauria state line. We are now officially in the city of Andremore. We immediately hit the densely populated neighborhood of Juanita Heights which is directly east of downtown Andremore. Exit 67B takes you onto I-720 which goes west into financial center of the city. Exit 67A...

In Part 1, continued along I-20 per our normal plan, but we took a slight detour to go into detail about San Andreas. Now we turn our eyes to the eastern coast of our main attraction, Andremore. This picture shows Kendallport which contains the main commercial ports for the entire metropolitan area, and Krystalport, the navy port. But before we go there, let's look at the neighborhood of Juanita Heights. Juanita Heights has a very walkable waterfront which features a mall, a shopping center, and several...

Introduction

By deimo5,

Welcome to the Andremore Metropolitan Area Update 11/16/2014: You can now click on these images for a full view. This City Journal takes you on a journey through the expansive city of Andremore and its surrounding regions. I. History The story begins when settlers migrating from the north found a plot of land just outside of the limits of the State from which they migrated. The settlers wanted to incorporate a city where they could have a freedom of cultural expression that was being stifled by the...

Interstate Tour - Marshall Moving further down I-5S into Grid G2, we start to move away from the rural and farmland areas into more developed and suburban areas. I-5 separates farmlands from the industrial center of the northeastern metropolitan area, Indiport. Indiport is the area that provides the most jobs to all of the smaller towns of the northeast. Exit 13 east goes to Indiport, while Exit 13 west goes toward the suburban city of Bradford Park. Continuing down I-5, once you pass Miller Farm, you hit...

Interstate Tour - Seven Corners We now travel down a very small stretch of I-5S that traverses Grid F2, moving into even more suburban areas as we get closer and closer to the inner city. Exit 9 is the only exit from I-5 in this grid, and it goes through this northern section of Solar City into the heart of Seven Corners. At this point, we are about nine miles from the Tauria State line. In Grid G2, we saw the eastern neighborhoods within Bradford Park. The Bradford Park town center is here in Grid F2....

Interstate Tour - Michaelsville and Allentown Just after crossing Michael Bay, we enter the city of Michaelsville as we move further down I-5. To the west of I-5 is still Darrylton, and to the east is Michaelsville. Exit 3 is for Michaelsville Pike---3B takes you west through Darrylton and Fairfax, ending in Arbor View on the far east edge of Dexington; 3A takes you southeast past downtown Michaelsville, ending at I-20. Continuing down I-5, mile marker 3 marks the city line between Michaelsville and San...

Interstate Tour - Slaterville and Bear Hills We continue our tour on I-5S into Grid G1. Exit 15A takes you east toward Eskridge, while Exit 15B takes you west on Old Rock Parkway toward Slaterville, Hilda, and Bear Hills. Ultimately, Old Rock Parkway takes you all the way to Rockport on the opposite side of the metropolitan area. Grid G1 contains only a short, approximately one-mile stretch of I-5. So leaving Grid G1, we still have about 14 miles to go to the Tauria State line. Here is an overview of the...

Interstate Tour - Solar City and Rayban Point After seeing bits and pieces of Solar City, we finally get to its downtown area and will touch upon the easternmost areas of Darrylton, the second-largest city in the Andremore metropolitan area. We are not going to see its downtown anytime soon, however, because we are going to continue the Interstate Tour down I-5 into Andremore. However, Darrylton certainly is a sight. But I digress. Exit 8B takes you right into the heart of Solar City via Solar City...

Moving down I-5, we solidly enter into San Andreas. We are getting so close now, but here is where we jump off of I-5 and head west on I-20 straight to downtown Andremore. If we were to keep going down I-5, we would hit downtown San Andreas, cross the Diamond Gate Bridge into residential Andremore and continue around the beltway to Verona. But, so that we can get downtown as soon as possible, we are going to get on I-20. Exit 2A off I-20 takes you north to Darrylton, while Exit 2B takes you south into the...

Interstate Tour - Eskridge and Saint James The Andremore Metropolitan area is divided into an 8x8 grid of zones. Each zone is referenced by a letter and a number. The letters run from A to H from west to east, and the numbers run from 1 to 8 from north to south. In other words, the northwesternmost zone is "Grid A1" and the southeasternmost zone is "Grid H8." The Interstate Tour begins in the northeasternmost zone, "Grid H1," where Interstate 5 (I-5) South comes in from the north about 19 miles from the...
