Recreation: San Diego County---Rebuilding America's Finest City! UPDATE! 4/27/11

[yochananmichael]

Bravo . I thought of doing this exact same thing in '08 but never did because of time and not knowing how to best go about it. I love SD as it was where I was born (I currently live in Montana...brrr) and want to move back. Last time I was in SD I was 15 (p.s that was 15 years ago so you guess my age  ). Anyways some great work there I will be watching closely to pick up ideas.

EDIT: Yay I am the first on page 2

Excellent recreation of my old hometown! I can actually identify all the places you are talking about!

And yeah, the Coronado Bay Bridge is impossible to replicate accurately. Unless of course the community finds away to allow diagonal bridges....

[Terring7]

It's possible to build diagonal bridges for streets, roads, rails and one-ways

Thanks for all the Comments! Thanks for telling me about the bridge. I had no idea you could do that! I don't think I will use it since you can only make a road bridge not a freeway....
Sorry for not posted an update for a while. Modern Warfare 2 has been eating up my time....Anyway I pulled an alnighter? or all nighter? and played SimCity. Yes I should have been sleeping but I think I will be able to survive my lone class in a few hours.

UPDATE: The City of Coronado, PART I

Coronado is an affluent community located in San Diego County a few miles from Downtown San Diego. As of 2010, the population is around 30,000. According to numerous reports Coronado is one of the most expensive places to live. Coronado lies on a peninsula that is connected by a ten mile isthmus called the Silver Strand. Coronado houses the Naval Air Station North Island (which I will show you in a later update) and is also a training center for Navy SEALs. In Spanish Coronado means, " the crowned one." When the Hotel del Coronado(the building in the picture above with the red roof) opened in 1888, the city became a major tourist resort destination. It is a National Historic Landmark. Notable guests have ranged from Babe Ruth to our(depending on where you live) current President, Barack Obama(as well as other presidents). Just a fun tid bit of information, one guest back in 1892 was found dead on the steps leading to the beach. She had commited suicide. To this day guests from room 3327 have reported flickering lights and floating objects.....I'd think you'd better call Ghost Busters! Anyway Coronado is a popular place for tourists and residents alike. Enjoy for stay in The Crown City!

Nice to see a recreation of my hometown! I agree that the Coronado bridge is difficult to do, unless someone BATted a massive overhanging lot
Have you checked out the RHW yet for sections of the 805, 405, etcetera that are super wide? I will be checking back here often!

Your City of Coronado looks really great!
Wonderful work on that recreation!!

Thanks for all the comments guys!

Just a teaser. It's been raining here in San Diego over the past few days.....

[jacksunny]

Very good so far  That rain is cool!!!

[rooker1]

 Rain.....yup it's that time of year.  The rain hasn't really started here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada but I sure it's just around the corner and I'm looking forward to it actually.  Everything will get cleaned up and the leaves start to grow.  Great time of year and you capture it well.
I look forward to your next update.
