Great reviews, you guys! Signed, Brandon, The ST Gamerz Club

Nice reviews man, keep up the great work, now only down the road if you looked at mine...

Hi everyone, I just had an idea that popped into my head for a game, and it's as simple as this: JUST MAKE UP A NEW WORD! ...and define it... There are no rules, except no dirty make-believe words, and the double post rule thingy. All you have to do is make up a new word, and then define it. Okay then.... I'll start: Perpenshmiggy- some guy at the bus station who gives you the "what are you looking at?" face.

Hey, well I guess some Simtropians beat me to the chase... Oh well, from what I've seen in the last handful of pages, EXCELLENT WORK SO FAR!! I love what you've done here... Keep IT UP

Here goes nothing, really: you stupid duck

For being such a "smarty"

Hi everyone, and welcome to my new and very first CJ. I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I did making it. The region itself is very simple, just one medium sized city tile surrounded by 32 small tiles, but enough with the tile mumbo jumbo. First off, a little (or long), history of the Roselle area. On March 11, 1833 the first settlers, Silas L. Hinkley and his brothers Harvey and Lyman, arrived in Hillview Township. The Hinkley's claimed about 1200 acres of timber land - some of the land was granted by the government and some was purchased for $1.25 per acre. The Hinkley's only neighbors for the first year were the friendly Pottawatomie. In 1837, Deacon Elijah Hough and his wife Electa came to the Hillview area with their ten year old daughter Cornelia, and their two sons Oramel and sixteen year old Rosell (Rosell's name was spelled without an "e" on the end). The Hinkley Residence, still standing strong since it was built in 1834, in this shot taken in 2003. After spending three years in the Hillview area, Rosell and Oramel went to South Haven for work. Oramel was a butcher and Rosell a foreman at a meat packing company. In 1850, Rosell built his own packing house on Halsted and Orange Streets. He received a large contract for supplying beef to the English troops fighting in the Crimea during the Russian war. From 1855 to 1856, Rosell was elected to serve as a South Haven alderman. He joined the Union Army in 1861 and achieved the rank of colonel. After the Civil War, Colonel Hough became the first president of the Chamber of Commerce in Hillview. When President Lincoln was shot, his body arrived by train to Hillview on the way to Chicago. Rosell Hough was asked to lead the funeral procession through the city. It was estimated that 3,700 marched and 50,000 lined Hillview's streets. The first Main Street shops, photo taken in 1923. In 1868, at the age of 48, Rosell retired from business in South Haven and returned home. He discovered Roselle was the thriving center of a rich farming district and purchased land to grow flax. He opened the Illinois Linen Company on the northwest corner of Roselle and Turner Park Roads. Rosell Hough was the first president of the fledgling Chicago and Pacific Railroad Company and he was in a position to influence the route of the railroad. He saw future growth for his linen mill if the train route would come through Hillview, Itasca, Medinah, and Roselle instead of Crescent Hill and Bloomingdale. It is rumored that he paid $10,000 to have the survey changed so the train line would go through Roselle. Old newspaper clippings state that the Chicago and Pacific named the station stop Roselle after its first president. It may be that the railroad, when printing the initial train schedule, misspelled Hough's first name, thus giving the town the Roselle spelling that’s known today. The previous shops were torn down to make way for Main Street Station, built in 1955. Here are some random shots from about town: The WLGT radio station aptly named "The Light", nestled inside the Creighton Neighborhood District. A small shopping center in the Riverside District. The corner of Stanton and Olcott Streets Morning from the Riverside District, a few minutes west of Downtown. I’m also going to take on crazychickensc12’s concept of creating a database for all of the mods and BAT’s you’ll see in my Journal, so if you want any of these downloads, you’ll know exactly where to find them on the STEX. Thanks for taking the time to join in the Roselle Community, and I hope you enjoy your visit. -Kippis05 Mayor and Alderman of Roselle Township Roselle: Vintage Charm, Contemporary Spirit

Haha so here we are, 4 months later... I'm really sorry you guys, but after these few months I've realized I don't have the time or energy to continue my CJ anymore. To all my fans, I apologize immensley, but unfortunatley these things happen.. So, to any moderator that reads this, I'm afraid I'm giving you the green light to close this thread permanantly Thanks again to all of you for your tremendous support thru my first of hopefully more CJ's in the future. To all of you, I bid you good day -Kippis05 Mayor and Alderman of Roselle Township Roselle. Vintage Charm, Contemporary Spirit.

I would cast my vote for the I-94/ I-290 Interchange near Downtown Chicago... We affectionatley call it "The Loop" and justly so. The interchange was bad enough before they begun construction of the I-94 corridor between Bronzeville and Downtown.. It's a living nightmare 24-7 o_O

Ok... pretty self explanitory, but heres how it works. First person will say: have you ever.... Second person will say: yes or no and then ask a new "have you ever question" No double posts, please.
