Why takk to all.


In moving around some of the neighbourhoods, I eliminated the 'wedding district' residential high rise neighbourhood and decided to make it more of an 'old financial district,' and in doing so replaced the lakefront park there with an ugly below grade transit line [this is a post-industrial midwestern city, no?]. There's lots more lakefront in this version than last, so don't worry about an absence of waterfront parkland.



Compared to this in v2:

I hope some of the wedding district's signature towers will return
could there be any above grade rail in the near future as well

Wow, that new skyscraper is awesome. I love the simplicity but elegance of it. And the new version is so much better. Once you have the city more developed you should make a pano or an areal.

Mehh,... you call that a pano? Jaykay, that looks great. One of the best I've seen on Sketchup. Some waterfront buildings would make it oh so much better. And a little more trees.
