  1. Century Movie Theater

    exactly like the one where the colorado shooting took place today!
  2. AppleBOX

    I don't like the worm inside sign, apple would never put that billboard up in real life.
  3. Fireworks Park 3x3

    hahaha drift I saw the fireworks in NY today and it made me want to do this for my city too.
  4. DARK Streets MOD?

    Is there a mod that changes the texture of a street into a darker tone? The default texture is too grey for me and I need it to look more like a road.
  5. I recently installed the game again and played for 2 weeks without any crashes/bugs. So today I decide I want to make an express railway that goes straight from my airport into downtown. The game crashes within minutes when I start to work on the railway using the puzzle pieces. I start up again, do the same thing and the game also crashes. Start it for the 3rd time and it crashes again. Is it possible that there is a different reason for the crashing? If not then I will just settle for a monorail to the airport, though it would be a little unrealistic.
  6. SimCity iPhone

    I tried searching but I couldn't find anything on it here. Which I found surprising, since it is due out in December to the app store.
  7. Central park

    not much to it and it might not be big enough from what I can tell on the screen
  8. Downtown High School

    the reason the lot won't work for some of you is because you don't have the building props 1 and 2 that maxis/ea released officially on their site, search the forums it's there.
  9. Can't demolish train station

    thanks, but none of that stuff you said worked, but I finally got rid of it by fire! IF you can't demolish something, burn it down! lol
  10. Can anyone help? I have a regular passenger train station and it seems I can't delete it, I first started noticing that the driveway/parking in front of the actual building was missing, and then when i try to demolish it I can't
  11. H E B Grocery Store

    very nice, I'm using it for creating a replica of the area I live in. However, the new H-E-Bs are much different, bigger, and a lot better
  12. New Urbanism vs urban sprawl

    Well, neither one would be good if it were just that one. I feel that there needs to be both new urbanism and urban sprawl in a community to make it work.
  13. Post Your Picture Here!

    Wow, my first pic here and my 2nd time visiting this off-topic forum Sorry if its too small but the real size version is way too big, and I don't want to waste my time resizing it
  14. New Urbanism vs urban sprawl

    Date: 12/17/2004 5:34:00 PM Author: Baro Why does a city have to grow OUT? The 'argument' between sprawl and real growth is like the 'argument' between fitness and sickness. A city is a living organism. Like nature, it should strive to be compact and muscular, not a cancer ridden pile of lazy fat. When a person is 500 pounds, they pay for it. It's hard to move, they are full of sickness, and they are horrible to look at. Just like a sprawling city, hard to move, full of crime, and horrible to look at. It's interesting how cities often so closely match the people that build them. In europe and japan, you have healthy people with efficient resource use and a sense of community, and their cities match. In north america you have fat people building fat cities, with their diet matching their construction methods, unhealthy.quote> Love that analogy about a city being compared to a person I live in Houston, a drive-only city, if you don't have a car, you're pretty much going nowhere, sure there are buses, and the new light-rail in downtown, but because Houston is a newer city built using the urban sprawl method, which I believe many newer cities were built on, mainly because it's easier. It's really becoming the new Los Angeles, right now, there's a lot of boom and construction, and Houston is growing at a fast rate. I'm afraid that with all of the efforts the city is trying to use to encourage pedestrians, it's going to be too late, everywhere I go, I see street malls with parking, I see housing, and development based on the automobile. There are no sidewalks for people to walk, just empty land next to concrete. Houston is really becoming the concrete desert
