Stauntons always had Chicago inspired buildings, many of Staunton’s textures come from Chicago. Here are the most obvious Chicago Inspired skyscrapers:

Thanks you so much! The Wentworth I think is pretty under appreciated, I don’t show much of it, it always seems to appear in Skyline shots despite its distant location.

Army Pier (any other name suggestions?) is in the near future, Jefferson is also! Once I start on the pier I’ll PM you!

Centennial Park was always planned for the space between Downtown and Midtown, the problem was the shape. Like Manhattan, after Downtown the Island will go into a grid, and unforunantly Centennial Park will look too much like Central Park, a big rectangle, any suggestions? Staunton already has a nice civic center in the middle of Downtown, with City Hall, JFK Federal Building, Staunton Supreme Couthouse among others.

Theres more to life than sketchup!

I’ve been working on several other Chicago styled buildings in Downtown, only a few major ones in the 500 – 700 foot range. But theres a revamped Stock Exchange District with a Board of Trade and Mercantile Exchange.

Next on the list:

East of Galcorp
- Staunton Bridge expressway to the New Ganton Bridge and surroundings, Staunton Island Train Station (real name soon), New Ganton Bridge.
Cuture of Staunton- Staunton Opera House, Staunton Museum of Natural History
North of the Island- Jefferson Financial District, Kent Field, Jefferson Train Station (real name soon)

Dont forget I mentioned new buildings, which I will show soon enough, but I also put in this neat little church.



Skyline so far. Army Pier will be between the Convention Center and Fort Hamilton.
