Barby plays Shosaloza

[Colyn]

I love the MEGA Industrials ... if you ZONE LD that one will grow frequently.

[pvarcoe]

Storyline shmoryline. With pictures this good you don't need a storyline

The detail you build into your cities is wonderful.
And I have to agree, the Palacio Cristalino and pool is very nice.
I'm looking forward to more!

[meinhosen]

I apologise for the lack of story line but I cannot compete with Mattb and Colyn.

Aw, who needs a storyline.  A lot of CJs (or should I say, Mayor's Diaries) work pretty well without any sort of storyline.  I think I speak for more than just myself when I give some encouragement to show pics and let any story take care of itself.

Really great work, barby!

....lack of story line but I cannot compete with Mattb and Colyn.

Errr, don't tell anyone, but my story line comes from the smoking monkeys I keep chained in the family room  They're cheap and as a bonus 1 in 100 pages of what they type actually makes sense

Seriously, great pics, and the park area with the Church and the theatre looks fantastic 

[sebes]

Great pictures Barby. I'm glad that you don't bother to show that poorly textured palace in it!

I am a big fan of the MEGA IND lots, but believe I never had the one growoing that you got. And thanks for releasing the Inktopia lot to all of us - I love it already!

[bat]

Very nice building, great park and fantastic mega lot!

[Alfred.Jones]

Nice work Barby

[jeronij]

Hi Barby, the Palacio Cristalino and Pond is simply 

Awesome work 

[TheTeaCat]

A picture paints a thousand words!

Anybody wanna try and Describe your awesome pictures?

Hmmm
Thought not.

More pics is the general concensus. Do what i do - make it up on the spot if it's needed at all

Like a biccy with your cuppa? #stsfd·

Another update from me. The region now has 388057 resdential population, 211935 commercial and 66069 industrial. An overview of the whole region.



Among the industrials that have grown is Domino's Sugar. This takes the extra sugar not required for rum production.



St Louis also has its Pantsdowne across the road from the Ezy-Flo factory which is very handy.



Although there is a high proportion of high rise buildings the mayor insists on there being plenty of parks and plazas to keep the city beautiful. This one sits in the heart of the CBD.



And has a statue dedicated to the victory of the sharp shooters over the Terrycan Moochees in a nearby region.



There are many hidden gems in this city. This one sits among the trees and is one of my favourite of all BATs done by caliban - the Duke Chapel.



Next update will be from Les Landes.

[sebes]

The Duke Chapel is indeed gorgeous ! You placed it very nice as well.

[Colyn]

I like it and I have fond memories of your first cities ... you have come a long way. 

[mattb325]

Lovely updates!

I really love the parklands...I also love the duke chapel...it is one of those exquisite pieces well ahead of its time and I always smile whenever it is offered.

The whole region is coming along brilliantly

[jacqulina]

wow you are doing an awesome job barby excellent work you have done so far i look forward to lots more

[BarbyW]

I returned to Le Depart, D3, which now has a population of 13k. What none of us realised was that there were two sides to Le Depart. The original residents were surprised to find a thriving second part to their city on land reclaimed from the sea.



As you can see the left side clings precariously to the hills with farms in the valley but to the right the newly discovered section has a beautiful waterfront and even an airport on this just above sea level land.




The CSX company had built one part of the waterfront with restaurants and other ameneties.



A very lively community by night.



Near the airport - built by the ripptide corporation - are many food, drink and fun outlets to tempt the arriving visitors.

The Tea Gardens



The Randy Squid, Wriggle and Squirt and Malibu Night Club. Many visitors fly in and never get any further than this



Further along the coast there are areas of reef and rocks. The locals often leave their boats on the shore.



The ripptide corporation developed the rest of the area with a promenade, large hotel and marina. Along the waterfront there are parking places, different attractions and a ferry to take passengers to work in nearby cities.



The small commercial areas developed with small hotels, mini golf and offices.



The clientele at the guesthouses are happy to have the bandstand opposite as there is no music allowed at night.



Being of military interest, ripptide built his hotel next to the old Murney Tower that had been the first defence in earlier times. Built to keep the community safe from the invading buccaneers from Lac au Montagne it is now a peaceful park.



And finally, the Royal Yacht Marina, an extremely up market place for the rich and famous.

[Alfred.Jones]

I love the water front walls Very nice mountains in the background, the trees look awesome on them

It looks like a very nice area

Great work Barby

[Traff]

Great Waterfront areas Barby !!
I like the pic of the community at night and the Royal Yacht Marina.
Looks like something out of a movie.

[wouanagaine]

This is a lovely place to live in.
You're not only the best loter ( lotess ? ), but you are also very talented in getting them on the right spot !

However I've not seen any roads to the other part of the city, so that means everyone use ferry to get a job, I'd like to know how so commute time is, or does the small commercial district hold enough job for everyone ?

[Colyn]

Good stuff ... I like that Roayl Marina ... where it from ?

[BarbyW]

I do wish you would keep up, Colyn. The Royal Marina and Yacht Club is part of the Casa del Soliel series doen by ripptide last year.
