Another city I started because, you know, I like to see how different I can grow a city. This one took much longer to grow than my other two cities and developed similarly to a small river town. Lately it's started taking off with some skyscrapers, so, it's finally turning into something.
Here's the city during the beginning states of its development:
Downtown started out very quaint.
Originally, there were only a few mid-rises.
An aerial of the city as it begins really taking shape.
The sun sets on the city, engulfing the downtown skyline.
Finally, after years of small development, my city welcomes its first residential high-rise - just outside downtown and next to the University.
Not too long after, another residential tower begins development.

It compliments the first fairly well ... but both really dominate the skyline.
Eventually, the skyline grows taller, as the city welcomes its first commercial tower.
Further construction creates a pretty impressive skyline for this small town.
Night falls on the city.
The new skyline.
A downtown street.
Residential area just outside downtown.
And to put into perspective the growth...
