The Pennsylvania Turnpike
Hello. Sorry for not have been posting in a while. Busy with school and summer stuff. That does not mean i have ceased to play SimCity 4! Oh no sir. Today i'm gonna just give you guys some pictures of The Englewood Metropolitan airport. The Airport is located about 4 Miles Northeast of Downtown Englewood and borders The city of Margarther. Due to the lack of land near the airport, the airport is quite small. There aren't many flights coming in at 11 PM at night. The main Airport hotel, located just south...

What town has an ocean, a lake, a forest, and 90,000 people in it? Pennsauken township! Yes I have put all of these characteristics into my city and yet i still have enough room for a forest. Most people in this city live in small apartments or condos though. There are some rich people in this city as well, but they are rare and most live in the forest. Rt.109 Also known by locals as Mansion row, Runs through the township. As you can see, many rich people live here. Let's head southern a little into the...

Englewood is wonderful during the day and better at night. If you are not in the Southern part of the city. Englewood is home to many landmarks and attractions. Many night clubs and bars. Traffic is not as bad at night so you can easily get from the northern part of the city to downtown is 10 minutes. But our first Stop on our tour is The Toyota centere. Here the Englewood Heros (Basketball) and the Island county Yeti's (Hockey) play. Looks like there is a game tonight. Tonight they are playing the St....

Let's take a break from the Englewood metro and go to the Southwestern part of the Country. Salorsburg, the capitol city of the Luguna territory. Saylorsburg, unlike the other cities in the country, was planned out. It was also founded only 30 years ago.

Interterritory 340 at the Center City Exit. The Luguna...

Downtown Englewood is the heart of Island county. But that heart is at the bottom of the county. (Don't get any ideas). Downtown is on a peninsula. Downtown is easy to get to and was made easier thanks to the new EATA subway system put in place back in April. Downtown Englewood (sorry for Bottom) as of May, 31, 2013. Bank of West America Plaza, Currently the tallest building in Englewood. The Englewood Apple Store between Rt. 109 Northbound and southbound in Downtown. The Perkings state Dept. of Security....

The Pennsylvania Turnpike
Ever since Bayenard st was built, the section between 49th st and rt 89 expressway had a median. Due to complaints to the county board of it being hard to see oncoming traffic while turning, the road will be reconstructed with no median. Bayenard at 49th st. Before construction Two temporary roads are built so traffic can still use bayenard st while it is under construction. The Road is torn up. The finished product. Thank you for reading and stay tuned.

We are back here in Englewood and we are in the southwestern part of the city. This is the most, How i say ghetto part of the city. Don't expect many high rollers in bentlys and or ferraris. Most people who live in this section of the city live on some sort of Government assistance. If you stay on the streets here long, you better use your 2nd amendment. The Main thoroughfare through Southwest Englewood is Main st. Left to right. Expect many traffic jams and road rage incidents. You can see the Small...

Today was a foggy day as i was trying out some new visual effects. The weatherman was forecasting sunshine today but he epicly failed. Today we saw no sunshine what so ever. seeing distance was reduced to 0.5. If you were flying over Downtown Englewood, you would see fog, fog, and no fog. Not even streetlights. The old Merian county Prison, which is usally easy to see from the air, is hard to decipher from the rest of city. Downtown Englewood is not very visible from the air. Just a quick little test of...

The community has spoken, so here is North Englewood! North Englewood is the 6th most populous city in Island county. The city has a population of around 45,000 people. It is the capital of Island county. Now you'd think that Englewood would be the capitol but it is not. Let me explain why. Englewood sits in two countys. so it can not be the capital of any. North Englewood was founded in 1989 from part of Englewood. Let us now look at this city in action. In North North Englewood we have strip malls and...

When we were last in seaside heights, we were looking at the not so nice part of the city. Now let's wipe that negativity off our shoulder and begin! The New Parks borough neighborhood is the only neighborhood were their are NO APARTMENTS. Unlike the rest of the city. As you can tell, lots of people would like to live here. But only 100 experience this luxury. Parksborough High school. Located on the South side of the city. In the Southeast corner of the city is casino royal. Casino royal is the casino...

A few minutes ago, Englewood started earth hour. This is Englewood's 1st year participating in this worldwide event and thousands of people had their eyes on Downtown Englewood at 8:30 PM. Due to some technical issues with the power station and all the clocks being out of sync, the lights were turned off at 8:32 PM. Englewood's mayor released this statement shortly after the lights were turned off "Englewood is proud to participate in this worldwide event and we want to show a good example to other cities...

Seaside heights Population- 60,867 State- Perkings County- Island Municipality type- City Seaside heights is not what you expect of a beach town. Yes it has the beach but it doesnt have the luxury you would expect in one. You will see in a moment. Another thing is how it can fit 60,000 people in a 3/45 by 3 mile city. Another weird thing is there are less than 200 houses in Seaside heights not counting row homes. But seaside heights still is beautiful. If you stay away from these areas. Area 1- Douglas....

A KFC and a food store on Macarthur RD in Preston. The Macarthur Rd, overpass with Rt 309...

Welcome to Banksboro. We are situated 30 miles southeast of St. Jons and 5 miles North of the Polonher Region. The city currently has a population just shy of 12,000 people.

But none of the building in Banksboro have more than 12 floors. In 1798 an American settler Banished from Boston USA. Was sent 4,000 miles...
