Keep up the good work though!

Ouch! What a nightmare. I dont get it, whats the point of the "reversed faces" tool anyways. It dosnt really seem to do much.
Staunton has 30,187 Faces, I'd have to say at least 10%-20% of that actually has the faces reversed right. Heres to put it in perspective:
This might take a while :/
Although
I have extra time since its spring break, (dumbass Arizona, its freakin Winter, ugh I miss California) so Staunton will finally get some real development, lets here it for late nights!
The Garnett District
Demolished in the great Computer Crash of December 2006, The Garnett District had to be completly redone from skratch, all I had was pictures on this thread for reference.
BRIEF HISTORY
1950's - 1990's
The Garnett District peaked in the 50's, the area was very vibrant and full of young teens and adults. Torwards the 60's most of the residents moved to the suburbs, and crime took over the area. Garnett quickly became a rathole full of corruption, crime, racial, and gang disharmony. It was Jefferson on Staunton. Of Course everything changed where Mayor Johnathan Goodman focused on the area in the early 90's.
1990's
The original Staunton Scorpions arena was falling into disrepair and was replaced with the much more modern and sleek Arena in 1993. Abandoned Garnett Square was soon transformed back to the glory days it experienced in the 50's. Clubs popped up everywhere, billboards and advertisments soon filled the area with life. Although in 2001, much of the area was abondoned, left to be ruined by the Stock Market Riots.
TODAY
The Garnett District today, includes The Galcorp Arena, Garnett Square, The Staunton Convention Center, The Jersey Hotel, and One Monmouth Plaza. The district is mainly now industrial and abandoned, but has been slowley converting itself back into the"hip" side of Staunton, like the 90's. Most of the old factories are being converted into the next big thing, Lofts. Garnett Square has recovered but is not as vibrant as it was. Many locals still call Garnett Square "Little Staunton Square"
Ok, heres an overview. The two boxish Modern Buildings are the Staunton Convention Center (smaller) and the One Monmouth Plaza Building. The Convention Center is one of the Largest in the East Coast, completed in 1965. The One Monmouth Plaza Building was completed in 1968 and is one of the Largest buildings in the city. Galcorp Arena, Several Loft/Factories and Garnett Square are all visible.
Garnett Square, you can see several lowrise clubs and 40's - 50's Architecture.
The Jersey Hotel is seen on the upper left side, The famous Garnett Building is also seen, with its famous GARNETT Sign installed in 1954. The sign has been seen in many postcards and moveis, but has since fallen into disrepair. The the center is the Garett Square Tower, now completly vacant, and is only used for billboard space.
The new Galcorp Galleria is a part of the new Garnett District ReDevelopment Project, it was completed in 2005, right across the street from the Galcorp Arena.
