Cheers, Soapy.
Soapy awsome start here and i love how you did the pause box lol w/town logo - pat
tremendous start! those pictures are lovely. Love that "old town" feeling.
Like pat said, I also love what you did with the yellow pause box :thumbsup:
yeah that pause box is unique and creative ;)
btw excellent small US town :thumbsup:
Nice one ;D Hope to see more.
Thanks to everyone who posted!
The reason for the yellow line is, when I took the pictures, I was gonna crop out the line, but I didnt want to make the pics all different sizes and I also didnt want to go back a re-take the pics. So I started to see what I could do with it, and thats what I came up with ::)
...moving on!
Here's some more pictures for you, this time of the downtown area ;)

Hey soapy nice update there. Hey did you know that by holding down "control shift S" it brings up the
camera when you have the game in play so you dont have to pause to take a picture... I hope
that helps you out a little - pat
I knew there was a short cut, couldnt figure it out till , thanks for that :P
But I just use the screen shot anyway...
Great first two updates. I especially like the first one, which, by the architecture, density, and style of city building, I am presuming is somewhere in Massachusetts, probably outside of Boston by a half hour's drive. The way you used the elevated rail is especially good in both updates.
-aaron
Wow wikked pics :thumbsup:
i like the blend of buildings and how it all gels together. Looking forward to more :thumbsup:

Great start, Soapy! The last picture with the elevated train is my favorite one! Can't wait to see more!

Soapy that was a real great update there man awsome work i look forward to more - pat
tremendous update! :thumbsup:
Barrington Square looks amazing. I love the choice of Bats. Very realistic.
Looking forward to more!
Great stuff throughout the entire update, Soapy. So It's in Nova Scotia - not New England, but cool anyway (I've never been to Canada and thus can't say much more). The Barrington Square area looks amazingly livable - the type of place I'd live in RL.

Soapy, hey- I'm a bit late here, but...
Welcome to SC4D MDing!- you've got a fine start going. Good for you on the recognition you've received over at The Planning Pages- more work like what you've done so far and who knows what might happen.
Plus- Best. SC4. Fireworks. Pic. Ever.
Good Luck, my friend! I'm sure future Union Town updates will be eagerly anticipated.

I'm loving the med-rise downtown area. I build those whenever I can, and I think they have a lot more character than a skyscraper forest. The el-rail line also looks very nice in those surroundings.
Soapy,
I agree with one of the earlier comments - I really like how you have placed the El Rail. I can rarely get it to look right in my cities but you have sown me it can be done. Well done on a great start!

ok, hello again!
for those that dont know, my plug-ins folder was recently...deleted, please don't ask...
Good news, I have got my plug-ins folder back up to speed, and Union Town is back in business "$Deal"$
but, because all the residential content I had was removed, it lost all functions in game leading to abandonment, so I had to go back and re-grow the entire city. Now it looks different with all the new content, but not to bad, I hope you will all still enjoy the new look!

I particularly like the Barrington shot of all those terraced houses in a herring bone pattern - nice touch.

Soapy - I am so glad that today I stumble on your MD in this section. It's absolutely top notch - a shame that it's still hidden here...
In the first pictures of UnionTown I notice the frequent growing of Haarlemmergolds great houses. That gives the city just the atmosphere that I like so much. The Mayday fireworks and the Barrington townhouse rows are beautifull too, but the Airport man.... absolutely rocks!!
I'll stay tuned to see more of this great MD &apls
A great City!! &apls
Your city is so alive Soapy, I like how there are factories amongst residental stuff and Springhurst downtown is one of the best what I've ever seen in CJs and MDs (best are mine of course). But please, don't let that explosion to be terrorist attack, that's too old and ufffrrggg
