Reconstruction and Rebirth. It's been almost a year since the tragic earthquake of Rio del Mar. The physical scars have mostly been erased, although the western end of the area still remains in an economic depression. Cesar Chavez park has been turned into a small lake (largely because of the pit left behind after the excavations of the debris). Reforesting efforts are in place as well, to provide a scenic escape from the office. Several large corporations have bought up space on the eastern end, which was spared from the hardest of damage. https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//new1.jpeg width=800 align=baseline> The waterfront of the Cruz Memorial district (remaned after the store owner killed in the collaspe of the boutiques). Against massive opposition from business owners, who pictured a massive development project of waterfront shops and promenades, the city council instead chose to reforest the area. Thousands of seedlings have been dropped in the program, which plans to extend its efforts to more of the coastline in Rio del Mar (although a plan with local business leaders accepted a 20-30% coastline development improvement project). A closer shot of Highway 1 (it loops around most of Rio del Mar's bay). Environmentalist groups are estatic that the city is continuing its history of conservation. https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//cuwater.jpeg width=800 align=baseline> That's all for now. I'll be on vacation starting tomorrow until the weekend, so no updates until I return. Thanks all!

With the immediate crisis of the earthquake over, residents are now picking up the pieces of their shattered lives. The once vibrant commercial area is now a depressed area, as so many workers lived near to their jobs that were destroyed. The roads have been cleared of debris, but the damaged and destroyed properties remain. The Attorney General

Wow a page two. Now this is exciting! I expect to do a real update tomorrow (I was in San Francisco all day yesterday, so I could not get crackin' on my region). For now, a few replies: newyorkrunaway1: Thank you! I'll be messaging you for the flashy pride sign. jacqulina: I agree. I'm looking towards a nice combination to add a bit of variety to the mix. oroen: Thanks for the tips and encouragement! I've been going back to my cities and doing housekeeping-and leveling the streets is up there on the list of things to do. Hopefully, I'll have time tomorrow to do a post. Stay tuned!

Thanks all for your comments!! U.S.K.C. Why thanks. I was a little too bored at work today, and that was the creation. djrules5454_simtropolisedition Appreciate it. I never use them anyway, so they'll be off in the next update. Thanks! Traffic_Jam Thank you! gurrgkud Thanks again. That is something that I am trying to tackle. I think I have long commute times combined with too fast residential growth with not enough commercial growth. I'm working on it! -Oh- and I Like your pride sign

Today, the focus of my update is Rio del Mar. She

I have SC4 and RH and play it on my ibook (which is about 4 years old) on an external hard drive. Sure, I have to lower the graphics options, but it runs just fine (my region is close to approaching 800,000 sims). on my computer. THen again, after playing on my old system, I'm not used to being spoiled-so I may be missing out on a lot.

I do like your mountain range. It looks quite nice. I also like french bread, so it's a double bonus.

So I managed to squeak some power out of Mr. Bojangles, and now my photos should be seen in all of their glory. I upped the sim and car graphics mode to high, but for some reason, the streets are empty. I

Thanks for the pointers Oroen. If my poor baby, Mr. Bojangles (my flimsy iBook), can crank out the juice, I'll up the graphics level. I do usually keep them pretty low (I have to run the game on an external hard drive). Thanks for the tips----Albatia will be smokin in no time!!

Question for all those who view my CJ (how many that is, I'm not sure). I'm thinking of expanding the community of Brooklyn beyond the main roads. While I have ruled out any high density development (I really want to focus on creating the unique communties so many of you have focused on), do you think farmland or low-density housing (or a combination of both?). I'm siding with low density housing myself, but I wanted some sort of input. I would really appreciate your comments-- thanks!

Another update on <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />KallahCity. Over the decades, KallahCityhas remained the central hub to the region, providing thousands of jobs in its two distinct commercial districts, midtown and downtown. Downtown is slowly gaining strength as the main place to live, work and play, with several new elevated rail networks bringing in commuters to the high paying jobs. The new, ultramodern Kbank (KallahBank) Tower dominates the skyline, ensuring to be the tallest building in the region for quite some time to come. The bank

Another update for my city journal

An update to the transportation map. The freeway has been much expanded over the years, connecting more and more regions to the main centers of <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Kallah City and Rio del Mar. A small rail line (used mainly for industrial goods) has sprouted through Kallah City, although there are plans to add passenger capability. Competing plans have been laid out to develop a light rail system for rapid public travel throughout the region. With traffic increasing on the roads and airports, this may be just what Albtia region needs to spur more development and to ease congestion. URGENT UPDATE: Scientists report that stress levels in the fault line in Rio del Mar have grown in the past hours to dangerous levels. Several new drilling operations are undergoing to determine the extact risk to the city. Residents are on edge and stocking up on supplies.
