How flattering!
Don't worry, I will have one SOON. I just don't have a very well developed area yet, as I don't like showing undeveloped areas.

You should add some ships too. Do you have anything planned for those empty piers?

We'll see about an Elevated Rail System, I can see one between Uptown and Downtown. Jefferson sounds perfect for an elevated rail system. I'm thinking something similar to the El-train in Chicago's loop.
And yes those piers will be filled with warehouses and such, I could put in some ships but I don't know if there are any photo-textured ships on the warehouse.

Jefferson technically doesn't exist yet.
I still gotta model it out.

A look down United American Avenue.
Starkton Ferry Terminal
The Starkton Island Ferry has been with Staunton since the 1800's. It operates several ferrys from the eastern-most point of mainland Staunton to Starkton Island, a large island across the harbor, also part of the City of Staunton but neighbors Ganton. The Ferry Terminal was completely redone in 2004 after a fatal ferry crash. The now all glass terminal was doubled in size and added "WELCOME TO STAUNTON", a big sign greeting ferry passengers coming from the island.
Staunton Port Authority Building
Completed in 1981, the Staunton Port Authority moved its offices from Three Galcorp Plaza to a shiny new modern building built right over the Starkton Island Ferry Terminal. The Building, shaped like a rectangle with slanted sides, terminates United American Avenue and can virtually be seen from the end of the city. It is the eastern-most skyscraper in the city as Starkton Island is fairly suburban.
Marlon Hotel, Fort Staunton
Criticized to this day for demolishing a block of pre-war highrises for this luxury hotel in 1986. The construction of this building led to the preservationists war of saving whats left of Fort Staunton, or known to locals as the East End. It and the Port Authority Building Stand as the only skyscrapers east of Benjamin Avenue.
