heres another.

so,this is all that ive got done. I havent been on Su much,so here is the whole entire city.




Darn fishies got a nice view

Obniosly,alot of work still needs to be done. there are still alot of empty lots. But IMO,it looks WAAAAY more realistic

also,San yuck,It had to go. It made no sense. Poor,rundown Commieblocks on Californian beaches and the riverfront full of high doller condos?!??! so yeah. there might be a new slum district in the future,but not right now.

Alright Austin! Now it's really coming to look fantastic, and it looks better than realistic it looks like a cool game.
I'm confussed is that the waterfront I see there with the roads turning into piers?

I still wanna know what Calcorp is. Cause thats realllllllllllllyyyyyyyyy lame if you tried to make a new company using the name Galcorp.

I amm liking the new layout, so much better and much more realalistic.

Calcorp is my favorite building since it's the most realistic lookin and yes the city looks more realistic than before.

I don't think the streets turn into piers, he may just not be finished with that part of town.

Great job redoing the city. It already looks awesome, and it's not even done.

Ehh,no. Its not a Galcorp Parody. Its just a name I made up to stick on a building. I wasnt intintional. Ifyou look at the last shot,you can see a Sancorp sighn. Ill change it if you want. No hard feeling I hope

The city looks awesome by the way.

Awesome austin. Thank you for that box, you know me too well. The city is really looking great in every area. The company names really mature the city nicely. Good job!

ya you were all right.

Ok,the NBC building was based of...

A building in texas! theres your first hint

sorta off topic.but..

heres a really weird story for ya. sorry if I make alotta mispelling,my hands are shaking and sweating. Heres why. My mom and I were looking through a bunch of our vacation pictures. I looked in this one bag and saw a brochure from bostons hanckock tower when whe went there in 98ish. So I pulled some pictures out of the bag. There were a bunch from New England. Then I saw one from times square. so I looked through a few more,and,Found one of NY skyline from A borugh,way north of the city. It was mostly a big wall with graffiti andalotta of smokestacks. Bu O started looking at the skyline and saw The WTC. I nearly cried. It was really amazing,and to think That I saw that is pretty cool.

yeah,Its a picture Im going to keep forever.

OK,the end.

My dad has a few pics of the Twins, hell he even went to the top on May 2001 on a businiess tripp, he also went to the topp of the ESB. He lovedd NYC, said how people where actually very friendly and how the city's vibe was.

I REMEMBER he called home from his hotel room at the Marriott World Financial Center, (2blocks down from the WTC) TELLLIN ME that he was looking right up to the Twin Towerszz. I was a lil 2nd grader back then, and even then I was obsessseeddd with the twins.

I'll never misplacee those pics. AUSTIN CAN YOU scan the picture?

I was in New York on August 11, 2001, staring at the twins from the ESB deck precisely one month before the second plane hit.
