Over the past months during the development of Rooleyson, there has been an increase in sporting activity across the city, with more people wanting to play and watch sports. The local sporting teams have also been expressing interest in stadiums and sporting centres, as well as other international clubs and sporting teams. As a result of the demand, the Rooleyson City Council has built the Rooleyson International Sporting Centre (RISC). The RISC is built in the outer south eastern suburbs beside the Kanga...

The east southern central suburbs spread out across the eastern side of the plateau and down the slopes along the Kanga River, on the opposite side to the Airport District. Within these suburbs, there are two main central business and shop areas located on each side of the area. There are also many shops and small businesses spread out through the district. Medium wealth residents fill a lot of the area, along with some high wealth in the south east corner along the riverside. There is also protected...

Kathine Hill + Quarry

By Asheroo,

Kathine Hill is a big hill located in the north west side of the city. It runs from south west to north east, with the eastern face having a view towards the city and the eastern suburbs, while the western face a view to the Tamewood Industrial Project (TIP). All of the residents are located on the eastern face and the southern slopes and recent development has begun on the northern slopes. The western face is all protected forest, except for one area on the south western side, where the Kathine Hill Quary...

The southern inner city suburbs is the first area being developed in the sprawling southern suburbs movement. There are many unique places and recreational areas such as parks within these suburbs. Being built right next to the city is also an advantage for the citizens living there, most of them of medium wealth. Business also fill the area with even some high tech industry towards the CBD. The Rooleyson Highway Network (RHN) splits these subrubs into two areas for the journal: Southern Inner City Suburbs...

Rooleyson March 2010 Update: Report from the Rooleyson City Hall Welcome back to Rooleyson! After two months of arguments, red hot debating and numerous protests while business went down the drain along with many people, the city council has replied and the RBA (Rooleyson Buses Association) has been formed and the first routes and fleets of Rooleyson Buses have been made and released. Since then, people have come back, businesses have been able to work again, and traffic flow is much smoother and passenger...

Heading From Here

By Asheroo,

In the last entry I forgot to state where I will head to in the CJ section of Simtropolis. - Unless announced somewhere down the line, I will not do CJs for any of my other CXL cities on here. It takes a good 30-60 mins to do an entry each on the journal, and it kind of gets too much time taken away. If I do ever feel like writing a CJ again, I will do so here. - There is a chance of Rooleyson coming back to life, but is only possible once MC releases buses to single player (as it is said to greatly...

As mayor of Rooleyson, I am here to unfortunately announce the closure of Rooleyson and The Rooleyson Journal. Recently, a number of big businesses in the CBD went bankrupt due to a third round of "Passenger Services Breakdown (PBS)", which happens along with the ever-growing number of traffic and citizens. With the traffic increasing in the city, it's harder for citizens to get to work and freight to be transported. The council has been through many debates, but have come up with no solution. The first...

Rooleyson December 09 Update: Report from the Rooleyson City Hall Rooleyson has now just reached a population of just over 700 000. Progress since the last update has slowed much down due to events within the city and decrease in movement within people around the nation. They mayor hopes to increase development over the next month to reach a population of 1 000 000 in time for the January '10 update, which will be the first of the new year.

In all the past entries, there have been many shots of Rooleyson during the day, but not one (well, maybe the odd one) at night. The city has an amazing look at night with the city skyline all lit up with many colours and the markets nice, bright and alive. Hilltop mansions host parties while families watch TV at home. Plus, there's the late night shopping and lesiures while full time workers work the night shift. Many cars also still drive along the highways at this time, outlining the network and...

Brokeford and Laree

By Asheroo,

The districts of Brokeford and Laree are two major districts located on the outskirts of Rooleyson on the north eastern side. These districts are where a lot of our unqualified workers live and where some work in the farms of Laree. Although not as active as other areas of Rooleyson, these two districts are still vital parts of the whole city, providing a lot of housing for the unqualified workers as well as work on the farms, which produces agriculture. Brokeford Brokeford is the second main district for...

Rooleyson has continued developing as a strong city while filling the expectations of its residents. The council has been a very co-operative council, helping the development of the city. A lot of people wonder how the council has built such a great city so fast with the current world wide conditions and how they've been able to stabilise its ecnomy without so much hassle in the council. But one thing that people have been wondering the most is how the city can balance out resources. As shown in previous...

Full of many parks and plazas, entertainment and shops, the CBD is the centre of activity. As shown in the previous entry about the RHN, this is also where the H2 and H3 highways intersect. The new city hall is also located here, as well as the tallest of the buildings and the Rooleyson Botanical Garden. The CBD is broken up into 3 areas: West Resident CBD (where the rich high density...

The Rooleyson Highway Network (RHN) is a big network of highways that spread throuhgout the city, giving easy and fast access to all areas of the city. The network was first designed when two highways were built through a part of the town back in the early stages of development of the town. The original plan was to just have these highways go wherever they are built in the town, but the council didn't like this as nearby cities have had major problems with this. This is the current RHN Map... The council...

Tamewood Airport

By Asheroo,

The Tamewood Airport (YTIP) has now been officially opened along with the completion of Section 4 and the Airport Section of the Tamewood Industrial Project (T.I.P.). This has allowed for the first air travel to come to Rooleyson. The airport services both freight and passenger services to other airports within the country and neighbouring countries.
