It covers an area of 630 square miles (1,600 km2) with an average depth of 12 to 14 feet (3.7 to 4.3 m). Some shipping channels are kept deeper through dredging. It is roughly oval in shape, about 40 miles (64 km) from west to east and 24 miles (39 km) from south to north. In descending order of area, the lake is located in parts of six Louisiana parishes: St. Tammany, Orleans, Jefferson, St. John the Baptist, St. Charles, and Tangipahoa. The water boundaries were defined in 1979. The lake is crossed by the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, the longest continuous bridge over water in the world. -

One Shell Square is a 51-story, 697-foot (212 m) skyscraper designed in the International style by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, located at 701 Poydras Street in the Central Business District of New Orleans, Louisiana. It is the tallest building in both the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana, and is taller than Louisiana's tallest peak, Driskill Mountain. The building is primarily used for leaseable office space, with some retail space on the ground level. The design of the building is very similar to Houston's One Shell Plaza and Denver's Republic Plaza, both built by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill.

[SC4] Petal, the heart of Saint Clements.
Revyzer posted a City Journal entry in [SC4] Saint Clements Parish, Louisiana.
ENTRY 1: DOWNTOWN PETAL, LOUISIANA: PARISH SEAT Welcome to the great parish seat of Saint Clements Parish; Petal, Louisiana! Established in 1795, this is a small city of about 26,000 people; and a whole lot of culture and past, that creates truly, one of Louisiana's unique cities; like New Orleans, Houma, Lafayette, or other Cajun-Acadiana cities. The city like Lafayette; is cultured in the cajun culture, which is also heavily known in New Orleans; and provides a outlet for the culture, in a modernizing world; Petal still thinks old, but adapts. Let's learn what makes this city, so unique the tourists who come up the bayou and visit this old cajun city. F First up; a look facing north, of historic, and still growing downtown Petal, it's small compared to other downtowns, but hey; down the bayou is New Orleans and Baton Rouge, for your share of them big skyscrapers. This is a common city of the Boogalees [A Cajun phrase, for the Cajun people]. Here is some of the 'newer' highrises, both are small offices spaces; and adds a bit of a modern feel to our otherwise, more old feeling skyline. To the right here; is the Petal Police headquarters building, a more modernist structure replacing the original police station from 1943; serves the city to the fullest. Crossing to the south of Main Street, infront of the statue of General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, sits historic city hall, residing is current mayor, David W. Bourgeois, who has been Petal's mayor since he was elected in 2014; he is heavily known 'around town', for his polite, generous attitude, and laid back, but still accomplishing many, attitude. Nearly across the street, is some of the oldest buildings in downtown, and the other corner to the block, a more modern banking office at the edge of downtown. The other corner building, known as, "Beauregard's Building" to the locals, hosts the nationally-known, Beauregard's Cafe de Petal, which has been operating there since 1876, and still owned by the same family in 2016. Famous for it's beignets, and coffee; much like the Cafe Du Monde, in the French Quarter; the Beauregard's apartment still resides on the top floors of the four story section, where their two story apartment resides; overlooking the small park across the street, that before a park; was a historic market place, before it burned down in 1965, and was converted to green public space. At the beginning of Main St, as you cross the Petal Bridge into downtown; is the courthouse, built in 1875, during the mayorship of Allen LeBlanc, remains a symbol of the city's historic past, and a national-designed landmark; for it stands on the grounds, of the old court house; where the civil war battle, of the Union to take back Petal, was succesful; and the Union re-seizing the city, and gaining large power over the mighty Bastarache River, which connects directly to the Mississippi and the Atchafalaya River, and it's river basin. At the other end of downtown toward the west, sits the F.D.Roosevelt Roundabout, and it's monument, built during his "New Deal" policies; as a public park, and providing easier road access to downtown and the suburbs. Near the iconic roundaboat, sits structures like the Watts Theater, and more famously, the Vinton Building, built as a federal office, and commercial office structure; today it resides as a city landmark and hosts many commerical offices, and on the first floor, it contains a PJ's Coffee Shop, [PJ's is a well-known Louisiana coffee shop chain]. Though the building is known for the 1976 tragedy of local man, Howard Bourg, who committed suicide from the roof of the structure onto the concrete below him, he was set to go on trial, after being bailed out; for attempted murder to a local woman, the day after he committed suicide. The Bank of Nova Scotia, sounds like it belongs in Canada; and that is because the bank's founder when the Acadians and Cajuns were exiled to Louisiana, were from Canada. Founded by one of the exiled Acadians, the Bank of Nova Scotia building today; no longer operates as a bank, as the bank went bankrupt and shuttered in 1965, but today it is a city museum, dedicated to the history of the city and the parish. Off of main street, does reside some businesses still; such as the, de Bellisle Hotel, a local drive in, and another small theater in downtown. One of our last photos for today, is the Robert E. Lee Elementary school; and infront, is Lee himself, overlooking the school; that opened in 1876, and the current building was built in the 1940s; and currently is the main elementary school in the city; covering downtown and most of the suburbs of the city. And lastly for showcasing, is the Cathedral of Saint Remigius, built in 1876, and is a iconic landmark to the many who pray in it every Sunday. Soignez vous-autres, and we will see you soon.- 8 Comments

This is a slightly updated version of my previous Guaranty Bank Building I made a few years ago. It was taken down from the STEX but now its back. T Wrecks lotted this one and sent it to me again a few months or so previously. Yeah...I've been meaning to get this up for you guys... xD Well this is the Guaranty Bank Building without the flags on it like the previous version I re-uploaded. This one is also relotted by our friend T Wrecks, which gives it a more nifty appearance. The building was originally known as the Guaranty Bank & Trust Building or the Guaranty Building and was erected in 1920 with 10 floors and was and still is the tallest building in Alexandria Louisiana. Hibernia National Bank moved in after a while, and then Capital One Bank moved in after that and still occupy it to this day. Thus it's now known as the Capital One Bank Building. Stats- Lot Size- 3x2 Occupants- CO$$ Jobs- Tree-fiftee (350) This building is also W2W, mainly on its back. Somewhat unfortunately the real building's dimensions exceeded a 2x1 lot size. It's mainly for corners. NOTE: If you have the previous version witht he flags, I'd recomend deleting it. There could be possibly conflcits with having both files but I never tested this myself. Better safe than sorry. Dependencies- BSC Mega Props GC Vol. 1 BSC Mega Props JES Vol. 1 I hope you all enjoy this one! (oh no I broke my dialect briefly!!!!11one11!!

G'Day Simtropians, Today I have a smallish map to show and again quite flatish, borne not so much from a request but more an off the cuff remark by Sgt Pepper. I decided to make it and all the ingredients were fed into the map-o-matic, bless her little a... without the whipmarks. Being a low map many of the drains and creeks were able to be added also. Thanks Sarge. Alexandria is situated near on dab in the middle of Louisiana and lies mostly on the south bank of the Red River. See this map up CLOSE and personal. Onto the important details, this is a real world map and was produced with dem and satellite data. It measures 36.864km x 36.864km. It's 16bits and in .SC4M format and requires the use of Wouanagaine's mapper or terraformer to import it. It's also terrain and scale accurate. As always a readme featuring some links a few instructions is included at no cost. That is I think about all. Cheers- 13 Comments

G'Day Simtropians, Today I wish to show half of the next map pack, Lake Charles was requested by TJ1. An aptly named place for sure, very lakey. The area is flat on the border of Texas and Louisiana but a bridge builders dream, more water than one can poke the proverbial stick at. See this map up CLOSE and personal. This real world map is a bit large at 65.536km x 81.92km. It was produced with dem and satellite data. It's in 16bits and .SC4M format. Only Wouanagaine's mapper is capable of importing this map into one's game. The map is scale and terrain accurate. Links and instructions are in the readme. That's all I think. Cheers- 16 Comments
