Let me take a moment and tell you how I play... I don't use cheats, I find it very easy to amass a large sum of money early on without the use of cheats. The only way I play that may be considered cheating by some, is I use the industry quadrupler MOD by toroco. I find it to be realistic. The amount of jobs allotted to industry in the game is not realistic. For example, my suburban town of Minglewood detailed above would have no-job-zots all over the map if it wasn't for the industry MOD. Truth is, there are many suburbs that look just like it throughout the US. Other MODs used: No Palm MOD by Swamper77, NoOneWayRoadArrows by Tropod, NetworkAddOn, and Abandonment Dilapidation MOD by raphael ninja. Thank you all for the hours you've spent to make this game that much better! I use (and continue to download) impressive BATs and lots from the STEX... Simtropolis rocks, thanks! Way back in 2003 I contributed several lots (my favorite being the large high school you will see in many of my screenshots). They all work with Rush Hour, I just haven't done anything since. You can also check out my first *big* city journal which I hosted on an external website... click here! I hope some of you will follow my newest journal, or will at least stop in once in awhile to give me feedback... positive or negative. Thanks.

Corrina Bay City Journal A Neighborhood Overview The Corrina Bay area is GROWING! 4.0 Detailed below is newly developed Minglewood, a mostly suburban community. New Minglewood is a suburban retail development, a long avenue lined with all the big box stores and office complexes. The 9-hole, 36-par Minglewood Green Country Club sits within several suburban developments. As you move east, you reach the outskirts of the city of Corrina. A more urban setting, the transportation grid, and all the amenities of a city draw you closer to the center of Corrina, several miles away. The South Park District, a commercial and industrial center which quickly developed after construction of the nearby I-24 expressway and a popular minor-league soccer stadium, sits at the intersection of 3 main thoroughfares. Each of these areas is detailed below with close up snapshots. Enjoy the update! More to come soon! 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4 4.5 4.6 4.7

I'm leaning towards Gary & Coleman's design as well, but would appreciate more votes from everyone! I hope, as the region continues to develop, to ask for the input of everyone viewing this CJ for different ideas which I will present. jacqulina: Thanks for the compliment, I've put a lot of time into the pics I've put up, glad you've noticed!

Corrina Bay City Journal Urban Development Plans This update will focus on the future of the Corrina Bay area. With increased traffic, tourism, and development, the question at hand is: Where do we go from here?. The Corrina Bay Development Group (CBDG) has put together a preliminary sketch of the future hopes for the Cumberland River valley and areas beyond... 3.0 The map above shows the areas of Corrina Bay which have already been developed as well as current plans for expansion throughout the area. Areas are color-coded based on the anticipated population density of the area. Yellow will be rural farms and small rural towns. Light green will be suburban development and satellite towns, including the occasional industrial park. Darker colors correspond to more urban development, and central commercial districts of large cities. As you can see, the Corrina Bay region plans to grow. Naturally, a growing area has to plan its transportation system before construction begins to provide an adequate and easy-to-use system once everything is in place. The CBDG is reasearching options for a comprehensive highway system and has solicited the help of 4 highway architecture firms to plan the infrastructure. We ask for your help in deciding which architect's plan would suit the city best! Please respond with the names of the architects whose highway plan looks best to you! Thanks for your input! 3.1 Hugeback & Litelhead architects 3.2 Angel & Diablo architects 3.3 George & Lucas architects 3.4 Gary & Coleman architects Again, please help the Corrina Bay Development Group (CBDG) select a winning design by voting for your favorite highway layout for the region! Simply respond with the architects' names.

Corrina Bay City Journal Neighborhood Overview Area of Overview: Sunrise 2.0 2.1 Sunrise is a posh-residential community overshadowed by the area's largest volcano. The Corrina Volcano erupted hundreds of years ago, blowing its side into a cloud of ash and earth. This eruption provided the fertile soil for the entire Cumberland River Valley. Today a Ranger Station sits at the base of the volcano, and the entire volcano and surrounding wilderness has been protected as the Midway Wilderness Area. Following photos feature the different neighborhoods of this small mountain community. Enjoy! 2.2 2.3 2.4 The next update will include expansion plans for the Corrina Bay area, including a handful of suggestions for the transportation layout, density development plans, and other important proposals for the area's future. Check back soon!
