  1. Curling

    Lemme get this straight from these pictures; you Canucks spiel outdoors? In the SUMMER? Man, that's some thick ice you must have up there. Seriously, the game is far from unknown down here in the States. We take it pretty seriously here in Minnesota, in fact. The St. Paul Curling Club occupies a large chunk of some pretty prime real estate here in the Twin Cities, and there's a waiting list to get in.

  2. Large Water Tower

    Ya gotta point, Facelessman. the towers good-lookin' (as water towers go), but considering that you could fit four regular towers in that same spot for less than half the price of this one, it ain't a bargain at all.

  3. Badwolf Inlet

    I like it! Cute fjords: very squiggly. But what's the use in building on it if the Daleks are just gonna nuke it all when you're done?

    Well, then. Here's a nice seaport region to place those neat new upgradeable ports that just got added to the mix. At 2,400 miles from the nearest open ocean, the Twin Ports of Duluth, Minnesota ("The Zenith City of the Unsalted Seas!") and Superior, Wisconsin (uhh ... "Some Mill in Wisconsin!") are the furthest inland deepwater ports in the world. Despite this -- and despite being ice-bound four months out of the year -- they were briefly the busiest shipping port in the US, and through most of the twentieth century second only to New York City in the sheer volume of goods that passed through their docks annually. This 20x20km map is based heavily on USGS charts, but tempered with an old 1881 map of the harbor area, in order to recreate as much of the "undredged" version of the region as I could reasonably estimate. So Arrowhead purists will have to redig the canal on their own (or if you prefer Indian Head country ... don't even bother, eh?)
