  1. Where the streets have silly names

    Some funny names in my area include Flirtation Drive, Poverty Hollow Road (ironically lots of high end homes), Poor House Road, Lake George Road, there is in intersection of Najavo & Cherokee Drive, Dick Finn Rd, Aunt Hack Rd and Two Pence Road among others.
  2. How do you plan your cities

    I figure out where I want to downtown to be & plan the highway system around that.
  3. vda Amsterdam Prins Hendrikkade 121 122

    Nice, will look great in a trendy area I am starting to devolp.
  4. Show us your nearest... McDonald's!

    We have 4 of them in my city of 78,000. 3 of the normal looking kind and 1 of them is in the foodcourt in the mall.
  5. The US's most pathetic highways

    I-95 in fairfield county is really bad. I read an article in the local newspaper saying that it is hard to get judges to go to work in Stamford because of the traffic. Also in the article, a lawyer said that it takes about 1 1/2 to to go from Bridgeport to Stamford. If I think the traffic is bad at my end of the county (northern), I would be going insane in the lower end.
  6. Thinking of Moving?

    You could live in Danbury,CT where: 1. You give directions based off of where stores used to be (turn left where caldors used to be or go past the painted rock before the prison) 2. You are used to main street getting shut down because of the world cup 3.Eating out on Friday nights is just impossible. 4. You know more than 8 good local Italian restaurants. 5.You are used to not going on the other side of town...but everyone knows Westside is better but they won't admit it. 6. The boundaires of"West Danbury' seem to get bigger and bigger each year. 7.You have deer in your back yard. 8. You were excited to have the ice arena built but you never go there now thats its open. 9.You can't go to McDonalds anymore because the employees don't speak English. 10. You don't play golf despite having one of the best public courses in the country. 11.You can get lost within city limits. 12. No one uses the train station downtown.
  7. biggest medium tile population?

    my largest was about 275,000. Then again, it was divided by 2 highways (east/west, north and south), a cloverleaf, the CBD and the sports/rec center i made (stadiums, aquarium, marinas)
  8. show us your area's toll plazas

    This is the toll plaza that closest to me, the Newburgh-Beacon bridge on I-84 in the Hudson Valley. It is about 30 minutes to the west of me. I think you have to pay $1.25 to cross it (only pay going eastbound to CT).
  9. The Cobb 5th Avenue

    I love it

  11. Show Us Your Suburbs

    Dustropper, I got them growing. In the new neighborhood i'm building, it is pretty much only going to be the Mcmansions and some of the NDEX other houses (like the greendale, emily). I'll remember to take a picture and get that up here later tonight.
  12. NDEX The Chadwick by DT

    Great. I love these all of these new houses you just released
  13. I don't start with building a mass transit system, because i want it all to lead toward my CBD and sometimes I don't know where that is going to work out to be. In my region that I am building now (kind of geographically similiar to the East Bay of Oakland) , I kind of have a path of plopped trees set up where my future elevated rail system will run through the suburbs and their downtowns. I plan on starting construction on it when the region hits about 200,000 (at 59,000 now). However, I do have most of the initial/ (direct inner-subub) highways set up.
  14. currently, a planned golf-course community's monthly spending is about $150,000 because im using golf course park pieces on the STEX, where one filler tile of trees is $200 a month around/on the course and lots of other tree lots between the mcmansions.
  15. Wayne County

    sounds interesting. Is it going to be based on the suburbs of Detroit?
