CENTURY CITY Century City is the entertainment hot spot of the city... for the whole family that is... the Red Light District is a hot spot for a "different" type of clientele. Everything is here---theaters, casinos, educational centers, museums, shopping, sports... it's all here. And at night, it likes up like a Christmas tree.

A FEW PLACES OF INTEREST I am just going to cover a few places of interest in this post. There is obviously a lot to see, but definitely too much to cover in one post. First up is Marble Park, featuring the world's largest globe. It's actually quite a bit away from the city center but is a nice addition to the Kaybridge neighborhood. Next up is Target Park. This park features a fountain set as the bulls-eye in a target made of concentric circles of flowers. From the overhead walkway, people throw their coins and try to land them in the fountain. Only if it hits the water does your wish come true. Those driving into the city from the west will first encounter the Statue of Industry which looks great upon the backdrop of the rising sun. The Nuclear Plant in the background kinda adds to the appeal. Looks cool at night too. Then there is Coit Tower, one of my favorites. And of course, everyone wants to visit the Colossal Mills Cereal Factory. The tours are amazing---it's like a real-life Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory, but without death around every corner. I will mention a couple of parks downtown though. First is Regency Park which is bounded by Hilton---the hotel district, the Red Light District, and the district of Regency Park (which has all the older buildings). Next is Prospect Park which is in the middle of the Financial District. And here are a few shots from, of, and around Infinity Park. And of course, there is so much to do downtown, the urban jungle, but I won't go into that now... but I will post a couple of night pics from different angles. For frame of reference, check the angle of the Shanghai Financial Center. Next post, I will talk about Century City, the Entertainment Capital of the country.

INTRODUCTION TO TRANSPORT Darrylton has an extensive yet relatively simple transport system. Highways carry a great deal of cargo in and out of the city. In these shots, you can get a pretty good glimpse of the downtown expressway system. In addition to the highways which handle a host of imports/exports, at every entrance to the city, the incoming rail lines split to handle both cargo transport and passenger transport, specifically so the cargo lines do not get bogged down with unnecessary traffic. A majority of imports and exports are handled by the cargo hub at the Inner Harbor which is lined with popular shops, forming another popular tourist destination. Finally, there is an international airport to handle the intake of all the tourists. Next post, we will take a look at some of what they are all coming to see.

OVERVIEW OF THE CITY Like I said earlier, the downtown skyline can be seen for miles, and from practically anywhere that doesn't have an obstacle in the way. On a hilly terrain nestled between a cluster of mountains, citizens from all over the city can enjoy natural, scenic beauty and an urban silhouette against a rising or setting sun. For example, the following home is very modest, but it's poolside view of the city skyrockets the home's value. A view of downtown from above the Twin Rivers Country Club. And the city is still growing. There is lots of space to build, even near the core of the city.

WELCOME TO DARRYLTON This is Darrylton---a center for business, leisure, and everything in between. With a downtown skyline that can be seen for tens of miles, it is simultaneously a home to some of the most prominent financial institutions in the world and a haven for the cultural elite. You should know that people seem to die by the thousands every couple of weeks here, but that's not important right now. What's important is that you stay and enjoy the sights!

Moving down I-5, we solidly enter into San Andreas. We are getting so close now, but here is where we jump off of I-5 and head west on I-20 straight to downtown Andremore. If we were to keep going down I-5, we would hit downtown San Andreas, cross the Diamond Gate Bridge into residential Andremore and continue around the beltway to Verona. But, so that we can get downtown as soon as possible, we are going to get on I-20. Exit 2A off I-20 takes you north to Darrylton, while Exit 2B takes you south into the Kensington neighborhood of San Andreas. Exit 1E drops you into the Glenmont area, where the tallest hi-rises in San Andreas are located, overlooking downtown San Andreas and Andremore, not to mention Glenmont Country Club. Crossing the bridge, Dexington welcomes you right at the tip of Lensing Peninsula. Exit 1D, takes you along the length of the peninsula through Dexington and Sheldon all the way out into rural Geminia. Exits 1A and 1B take you to the Scopesville and Lensing neighborhoods respectfully. Here, we see even more Darrylton neighborhoods--the rest of Dasani, Fujimont, and Poland Springs; Breezewood, Waterton, Alba Woods, Aurora Hills, Deer Park, Perrier, Cherrywood, Aloe Park, Palda, and Halo Park. San Andreas neighborhoods include the rest of Rico Pines and Barbia, Harmony Hills. Additional Darrylton neighborhoods include Motorola, Sevengen, Cascadia, Dawn Park, Springhill, Lalane, and Whirlington. But the star in this picture is the city of Fairfax whose tiny downtown is visible with its satellite neighborhoods Tasford, Larington, Axelandria, Sorrlyn, Nicolnia, Chintally, Dela Park, Grinpsfields, and Rehndon. We can also see the Beaver Lodge neighborhood of San Andreas. Dexington neighborhoods visible in this grid include Scopesville and Lensing. The Glenmont neighborhood in San Andreas is also visible. And here is a bulk of the remaining San Andreas neighborhoods--White Oak, Kensington, Nikkisburg, Teachington, and the rest of Patricksburg and Crystal Lakes. As mentioned earlier, just south of I-20 is the Kensington neighborhood, which essentially is a commercial strip almost as large as downtown San Andreas itself. Here is another view of how I-20 wraps around the Kensington neighborhood. Kensington is only moderately dense, but it is a nice contrast to the bedroom neighborhoods to the north, providing a small strip of inner-city living style for those that want that big-city feel without the traffic. Glenmont provides an even bigger city feel for San Andreas residents with its tall water-side residential towers. The convenience of the ferry provides some relief to the Glenmont residents trying to leave their populace neighborhood. With the ferry, a direct highway exit, and its subway station, Glenmont has so many transit options. Glenmont Country Club is one of the more diverse clubs with golf, swiming, putt-putt, driving range, two resort hotels, and tennis in a very private, secluded area. San Andreas University and mall. Downtown Fairfax with its many mom-and-pop shops and restaurants. The Lincoln Center on the south end of downtown Fairfax. I-20 cutting through Lensing and Scopesville in Dexington. Townhouse apartments along the coast of Lensing Peninsula. Here are the obligatory clean shots of the grid:

Interstate Tour - Michaelsville and Allentown
deimo5 posted a City Journal entry in Andremore Metropolitan Area
Interstate Tour - Michaelsville and Allentown Just after crossing Michael Bay, we enter the city of Michaelsville as we move further down I-5. To the west of I-5 is still Darrylton, and to the east is Michaelsville. Exit 3 is for Michaelsville Pike---3B takes you west through Darrylton and Fairfax, ending in Arbor View on the far east edge of Dexington; 3A takes you southeast past downtown Michaelsville, ending at I-20. Continuing down I-5, mile marker 3 marks the city line between Michaelsville and San Andreas. This is another view of a wide part of Michael Bay. On the east side we can see the rest of Serengeti, a residential neighborhood in Rayban Point, and more of Johnstown, a residential neighborhood in Juan Carlos. On this side of the bay, we see a bulk of Michaelsville and its many neighborhoods--Jones Point, Renaissance Park, April Estates, Casey, Katana, Nunchaku, Saisdale, Boville, Turtle Park, Leonardo Park, Splinter Heights, Michelangelo Park, Raphael Park, Donatello Point, and Shreddington. We can also see a few more neighborhoods in Darrylton---Dasai, Aquafina, Acadia, Fujimont, Purcelville, and Poland Springs. Here are a few neighborhoods in San Andreas---Rico Pines, Patricksburg, and Crystal Lakes. There is also one more neighborhood in Michaelsville we missed---O'Neill. We can also see the bulk of Donatello Point, a rich neighborhood that juts out into Turtle Bay. And finally, there is Allentown, the last city before crossing the Michael Bay Bridge into Juan Carlos. Allentown is one of many industrial powerhouses with industrial centers like Iverson and Debbington. It has very few residential neighborhoods--Marcus Manor, Payne Point, Woody Gardens, Joan Manor, Timsdale, and Stevesburg. This is Michaelsville's very modest downtown right off Michaelsville Pike. This is Splinter Heights, the most populous neighborhood in Michaelsville. Splinter Heights has its own commercial sector in the form of a strip of low-rise commercial buildings along I-20. Donatello Point Mall right off I-20 and due south of downtown Michaelsville. April Estates. Allentown does not really have a downtown, but if it did, this area would qualify. San Andreas Country Club, the eastmost point of San Andreas. The edge of the country club marks the city line between San Andreas and Michaelsville. And of course, here are some clean shots of the entire Grid F4. And we are now less than three miles from the Tauria State Line.- 4 Comments

Interstate Tour - Solar City and Rayban Point
deimo5 posted a City Journal entry in Andremore Metropolitan Area
Interstate Tour - Solar City and Rayban Point After seeing bits and pieces of Solar City, we finally get to its downtown area and will touch upon the easternmost areas of Darrylton, the second-largest city in the Andremore metropolitan area. We are not going to see its downtown anytime soon, however, because we are going to continue the Interstate Tour down I-5 into Andremore. However, Darrylton certainly is a sight. But I digress. Exit 8B takes you right into the heart of Solar City via Solar City Parkway, and Exit 8A takes you via Mosby Parkway to downtown Mosby, another large city that has been mentioned but not fully detailed. Moving down I-5, we get to Exit 7 for Phoenix Blvd. Exit 7B takes you along the Darrylton/Solar City line toward the Phoenix commercial district in Darrylton. Exit 7A takes you southeast all the way to downtown Juan Carlos (also one way to get to the beaches). Exit 6C is for the I-405 spur, a section of highway just over a mile long that connects I-5 to I-405. I-405 is the 56-mile long Beltway that surrounds the city of Andremore. It is an absolutely vital bypass that spares travelers of I-5 S the treacherous traffic which usually starts well before the merger of I-405 and I-5 at Exit 5. The spur provides outer loop-bound travelers from I-5 the pain of dealing with Exit 5. The spur cuts between Saxon Garden and Langley Lake, and its location is actually a compromise. Southbound I-5 travelers originally wanted to turn Solar City Parkway into the spur, which would have created an over 2-mile long spur that joined I-405 at its Exit 7. However, residents in the Phoenix, Satyr Forest, Cyno Park, and Treantsdale were less than thrilled about the impact it would have to their access to the main shops along the parkway. Thus, the compromise was done. Here is Exit 5, where Andremore-bound traffic generally starts to stack up during the morning rush hour. We are now less than five miles from the Tauria State line. Here we see the last of Solar City's neighborhoods---South Raymont, Windsor, and Polaris, along with the rest of Shinington and Helios. Across the highway are neighborhoods in Mosby---Badum, Saget Park, Frenchtown, Charity Park, and Zinman. Moving into Darrylton, we see Cyno Park, Phoenix (the main commercial area in eastern Darrylton), Satyr Forest, Wisp Manor, Pegasus Park, Peryton, Sylphington, Treantsdale, Triton Park, Saxon Garden, Langley Lake, Arena Park, Dryad Hill, an eastern portion of Hydra Park... ... the eastern portion of Griffin Park, Fauns Forest, Hookah Park, Goling, and Alba. On the other side of the inlet is Rayban Point, a very upscale city that's marinas fuel its economy. Its neighborhoods include Maui Coast, Aviator Hill, Zegna, Oakley, and Serengeti. Here we can also see a few more Mosby neighborhoods---Clinton, Henrie, and Fonseca. It the bottom-right corner is Johnstown, the nortwesternmost neighborhood of Juan Carlos. Here is a closer view of downtown Solar City. It's not a huge downtown areawise as Solar City is driven mostly by high-tech industry, but the towers are tall and provide some great views of the metropolitan area for the executives. The I-5 highway exit empties onto Solar City Parkway right in the heart of downtown Solar City. This is Frenchtown, the westernmost neighborhood in Mosby. This area used to have a high concentration of French residents, but now, things have diversified quite a bit as the commercial scene has changed. This is the Rayban Point country club---one of the best in the metropolitan area I hear from word of mouth. The marinas that power Rayban Point's economy. The very fine neighborhood of Aviator Hill. Phoenix Boulevard as it enters Juan Carlos. This is Phoenix, the main commercial center and densely populated area in eastern Darrylton. The I-405 exit for Solar City Parkway. This is Solar City Parkway as it heads straight to downtown Darrylton, overlooked by twin apartments on the edge of the Peryton neighborhood. Dryad Hill, a very quaint and typical suburban neighborhood. Saxon Garden, the park that gave this neighborhood its name. Here is Langley Lake, right off the I-405 Spur. Here are some clean overhead shots of Grid F3.- 2 Comments
