Old Town

By nRVOUS,

Old town wasn't anything 20 years ago but a couple of shops, the high school, and the RKO building but now the first street market sells the freshest veggies in California and new hotels and offices have been built with the rising economy. Its still a dingy and rustic neighborhood but it has it's charms.

Some Updates

By nRVOUS,

I've been out of the CJ game for awhile now because of some personal things and school but I'm ready to start regular content creation again. This is a nature scene meant for the Catalina Hills post but it didn't make it in. Spring shot of the newest department store in town. I also decided a University was needed for a big city so the Piedmont University was born.

Further WorldBuilding

By nRVOUS,

Further WorldBuilding I'm going to use this entry as a way to explain some things and add a little more depth to some of the districts of the city. The name "Bronzo City" comes from settlers from Italy who founded the town after finding an unusual amount of bronze ore north of their camp. The mines that helped grow the city are now covered by pavement and skyscrapers but you can still find bronze built into the buildings as decoration. Since West Midtown was supposed to be the slums district I added some...

Hotel Boom

By nRVOUS,

The newest phase in 2017 Bronzo is the luxury hotel keeping in with the city's extravagant culture Clad in a green terracotta facade with gold plated accents the new Waldorf Astoria Hotel looms over the Old City Hall. If your budget is in the midline across from Carson City Plaza is the 16 story Marriott building in the Justice District The Gothic Hotel built last year is another tall expensive hotel but what draws tourists to this one is the reported ghost sightings of the several workers who died from a...

Snowfall

By nRVOUS,

After 50 and a half years Bronzo City was just hit by its second recorded snowfall. The Tram, Police, Fire Department, And other services weren't able to get out after the the huge snowstorm came in without warning and blasted the streets with snow leaving people unable to leave their jobs, schools, and apartments beacause of the city's lack of proper precautions and equipment.

Union City

By nRVOUS,

After the Billionaire playboy Howard Mcallister bought the large piece of land from California he gave the most famous and rich property developers free reign to build in his Union City as long as it fit his vision of an Art Deco Future. In the center of his luxury kingdom is the largest rail station in California bringing in thousands of people each day to frontier point. Inspired by the visions of the future in the 1930s Howard placed spotlights on buildings and in the air to draw attention to visitors....

Frontier Point

By nRVOUS,

In 1850 Frontier Point was the end stop of settlers heading from Arizona to Northern California in search of fertile soil and wealth. Of course they didn't reach Nocal but they did land near the up and coming mining town of Bronzo City; During the 1800s Frontier Point and Bronzo traded resources until Frontier Point and Bronzo City conjoined into the same city after growing problems with budget and Jurisdiction and Frontier Point became a Major District in 1892. Though it is not as big as Bronzo's Midtown...

Outer Bronzo

By nRVOUS,

Outer Bronzo- A place to live Outer Marrow is a very slowed down quiet town compared to its bigger brother and is why its the most heavily rich part of the suburbs. The very controversial White Rock Hill condo development was heavily protested for visual pollution and building over nature zones but I hear the penthouses have nice views of the city. Near the development is a Californian feat of engineering, The ADPA Building code still applies to the suburbs but is a little more lax and allowed a Bauhaus...

Nightlife

By nRVOUS,

When the sun goes down and the shops shut down Bronzo is still awake. At night lights coming from windows create man made valleys otherwise not seen during the day and spotlights bathe offices in beautiful light In Alameda Ciro's nightclub attracts plentiful visits from celebrities and paparazzi waiting to get a scoop on whatever vapid or uneventful thing they are up to. If you're are looking for somewhere more hardcore to party at the Aqua club in the theater district is a huge concert venue and if you...

City through Time

By nRVOUS,

1939- All throughout the early 20th century Bronzo City was a thriving small city in Central California and was apart of all American cities when the Great Big Depression hit. Once this happened contractors built massive (Now demolished) tenements downtown which held thousands of poor families and gambling fronts. In 1938 the WPA funded the Bronzo City Power & Light Tower. It was a major step to economic prosperity in the great city but that would only come after the war. 1948- Post war BC was the second...

Caterina Hills

By nRVOUS,

Is your life a mess? Work stressing you out? Why not take drive through the beautiful landscape of Caterina Hills Just a Little southeast of the city lies the industrial District of Bronzo and the Lakefront Casino which is one of the hottest casinos in the city even if its next to a chloride factory. Adjacent to the district is the St Aquinas cathedral and Valhalla cemetery which holds one of the most beautiful Cathedrals in Calafornia. Overlooking the city on the Caterina Mountain top is the Lacerta...

Red Vs Blue Parade

By nRVOUS,

Even since it started back in 1894 the Red vs Blue festival has been something that brought the entire city together. The premise is simple two groups stand from opposite sides of the road yell at each other drink beer and have fun. Back when it started it was almost an all-out fight between the teams but now, well they still fight, why? no one knows but it's still an amazing sight to see out of a window or in a helicopter.

Tragedy in Midtown

By nRVOUS,

On a hot summer day in Midtown a huge explosion flew out of the Gene Ebert bank tower and blew rubble across Palais Park and was at the time was suspected to be a gas line explosion. Not too long after the explosion smoke and fire billowed out of the tower incinerating through 14 floors and across all sides of the building. d Sadly the efforts of fire fighters and Emergency officers proved to be inadequate and after fire ravaged through the building the old inner skeleton was melted down to liquid and the...

Updated overview

By nRVOUS,

Just as a disclaimer this isn't a real entry but i can give you a hint that the next entry will be heavily photoshopped and might take a bit to finish. Here is the first overview from exactly a month ago and under this text is one taken today to show the changes between the posts.

High above the Sky

By nRVOUS,

On their way to Edwards AFB two US Navy Blimps were seen above Bronzo City. though they could be just cargo ships (Which the Navy uses frequently in SoCal) many are thinking it has something to do with the Armed revolution in Hawaii but none can be too sure. What we do know is the Hawaiian police force and citizens are rioting in Honolulu and Maui after the increased taxes to import and export in the state. Hopefully the military will settle down and stop the madness before things get out of hand.

Carson City Plaza

By nRVOUS,

With tourism fluxing in Midtown Mayor Carson decided to give the same treatment to downtown. The often overlooked BC Power & Light Building was the tallest building in Bronzo when it was completed in 1931; Which is a sentiment to how much the cities' skyline has changed overtime. But with the New Carson City Plaza which includes an underground shopping pavilion and an ice skating rink and Christmas tree during the holidays downtown's small businesses are having a huge boom in sales from frickin' tourists.

Radio City

By nRVOUS,

In a boardroom high above the city Bronzo City Officials were brainstorming of ways to draw tourism back into Bronzo and one suit thought of a brilliant idea: "People like theaters right? how about we build the biggest one?" And thus Radio City Music Hall was born; Being the biggest theater in the world at 87,120 ft investors are making a mint from the tours of the hall and the shows that rake in thousands of dollars a showing.

Theater District

By nRVOUS,

One of the oldest neighborhoods in Bronzo the Theater district is home to many Big brand and Independent movie theaters. On Broadway beautiful offices like the Wisconsin Gas building, Eastern Columbia Building and the Title trust & Guarantee building are some of the center pieces of the area.
