I love that old (I believe there is a Wells Fargo sign on the ground floor) building in the front! It looks very real.

I thought it matched the city's style exactly! Keep it up!

Thanks everyone for the honest and helpful feedback. I will most certainly listen to the constructive criticism and will use it to further develop my city.

Thanks austin55, I appreciate the feedback. I actually got most of the textures from 3D warehouse (yes, stealing from other building textures), but I've found it to be by far the best method of getting textures. I just cannot take credit for the textures themselves.

I actually really like San Felix. You've done a great job, and if that's your first city, I am very impressed! My first city was no where near as good as yours.

Thank you, Peter! Funny you should say that...I've never been anywhere near there, and I've done very little research. I just based the style off of cities like Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, and Pittsburgh.

Again, thanks everyone!

It's definitely got that Pennsylvania feel. The older-style buildings are pretty constant across the state, from Erie to Pittsburgh to Allentown to Reading to Philadelphia. Specifically, it reminds me of a bigger version of the city of Erie, PA. I love it!

I've never been near there either but I understand the style of that area and you nailed it.
