Post by: sEAhAwk fAn121 on May 07, 2007, 05:49:14 PM
Meadowlark Falls...

The City's name comes from the Falls of the Meadowlark River near by...

now lets get started with some history and pictures!

The City was founded in 1854 by Clinton Webb, his great grandson is the current mayor of Meadowlark Falls

I second what guurgkund said - that overview is stunning. I'm always interested seeing how the mayor deals with the undeveloped land around a perfect little "stand-alone" area like that. Hope you're able to retain some of that countrified atmosphere.
Congratulations on your excellent MD.

I admire your willingness to experiment, but I guess I'm one of thoise "set in my ways" folks who thought Meadowlark Falls was pretty nifty as it was before.  A big plop water river and waterfalls (thanks, btw- it's great to see them in use!) are things I've worked hard at, but have never quite achieved the integration I'd hoped for.

I still maintain your initial pics of the little town in that wonderfully rolling valley were phenomenal to look at.  I'll be watching what you do here with interest to see what you're up to next.

I agree with David, I didn't think there was anything wrong with the first Meadowlark Falls, but hey, you're the boss! The new town looks great, too, and the poloppable river with the falls looks spectacular, too. I'll be looking forward to seeing more, my friend!

Wow, I didn't realize there were other players who take a "build-tonight-destroy-tomorrow" approach like mine  ::)! I do understand, all too well, the principal of buggy little details that wake you up at 3 a.m., though. (Maybe we need to form a support group!)
Oh well, good luck with the revised region. I'll continue to follow your progress.

It's very nice  ;)

But, for me, the texture of streets contradict your contry, because it's a little contry no very rich, and personally I think that this texture would be better in a city  $%#Ninj2 ... It's just my opinion  :P

It's looking good, Seahawk, though I do tend to agree about the brick streets. Not so much because of the wealth of the area, but more because I think it may be a bit too much, having them on every single street in town. On just a few, maybe? Either way, the town itself looks great, though! I like the picture of the bridges, especially! Keep up the good work, my friend!

Tallest building in Kansas is proposed in Meadowlark Falls... A town of only 100,000 people
This building would tower 400ft above the plains and Meadowlark Falls' current tallest.
The Architect is looking for a tennant and a name (any ideas from you guys?)

Nice restart, sEAhAwk fAn121. Glad to see you kept the same terrain -- I like it even though I'd be unlikely to use it myself.
And just wondering, since you plopped your CBD, is it functional (providing jobs) or eye candy?
Anyway, good luck on the second time around.
