UPDATED MAP






Tornio beach is the tourism Capital of the nation so far and holds the beauru of tourism handling national parks tourism funding, landmarks etc pretty much everything to do with tourism.It also holds a yatch and private ship customs center.


Heres a night photo. The city has lots of nightlife and is considered the unofficial cultural center although the capital city has the official title at the moment.


The IBM building is the tallest and most important building in tornio Beach. It houses the city offices st the top 4 floors, The Tourism Beauracy on the 2nd and 3rd floors, It houses a radio tower on the roof, radio brodcasting, MNN news broadcasting and MNN news offices and an italian  bastil pastas resteraunt on the bottem floor and the rest is either IBM Banking and financing offices or other smaller design studios and offices.


Cross road Market. Probably one of the oldest landmarks cross roads markets was built for the townspeople and merchants to exchange goods. Back in the day it was used so merchant ships could sell thiey're products without having to wait to sell it to shops first, but now its more of a farmers market with crafts and kettle corn, produce, paintings etc. The story behind the name is because it is on a cross of roads or an intersection and at the time it was the center of the town.


Club movie rentals on the left corner of the intersection on carver street no longer just sells movies it also now sells albums, ipods, and video games and video geme machines like x box, wii, gamecube, psp, playstation 3 etc. Beside it is Kitty Coblers a local dept store and a pharmacy. Above the Pharmacy is Beacon production offices, a local TV station. Also if you havn't already noticed some streets downtown are coble stone. They are the old roads and the residence take pride in being the city with the most coble stone streets.


Ruby Tuesday's is a U.S company that moved in here and is doing quite well. It seems to be a central location for residence to eat and have fun, especialy popular with birthdays. Say would you like to eat here? Well ok it's on me.


Holliday express has set up infront of the allexandra hospital. It is 4 star and has many facilities like a pool, a tea house on the water with reception rooms and board rooms for guest use , a fireplace lounge, a waterside bar and dance club and a small lunch shack.

Dawson Park is a very relaxing enviorment especialy with the many resteraunts, lounges, stores and hotel. Young couples love kissing in the gazebos at night especialy because its suppose to give you a happy relationship.


Abuelose is a fancey tropical resteraunt that serves all sorts of foreign food.


Here is the main shopping district with banks, many hotels, custom stores, resteraunts, art studios, dinner theaters and provides great nightlife.


The garment districts has high end small office spaces for rent.

[Tomas Neto]

Wow!!! The region is developing fast! Is getting very cool!

[danielcote]

Tomas Neto: Thanks I'm trying to get as much done as possible.




The space refueling project is in full swing and construction has been started east of plueto.

[jimbo_jj]

That's a nice looking city. I like the prospect of a sci-fi element here. Plenty of water ice out near Pluto you can make hydrogen fuel from. Great idea!

[Fabian93]

Eventhough it is a pretty interesting MD so far I'm not sure if I follow this anymore .... 1 - 1.5 mb for one single pic is just too much, sorry.

[danielcote]

Is that why not so many people come to my CJ? is it because the pictures take too much mb's  ?

[sumwonyuno]

First, the pictures and region look very good, and the cities are great.

Well, I can't speak for everyone else, but I don't think picture file size would make or break a mayor diary.  Most people aren't inclined to comment every single time, so views are a much better indicator of readers' interest.

Though, it won't hurt to resave the in-game pictures to .jpg (slight quality loss, with much smaller file size). 

[danielcote]

jimbo_jj: Actualy the AFDES has found a planet named Agonus and we use it for the fushion rectors on our space ships. Its basicly fuel called Agonite fushion.

Fabian93: you're computer must be slow and old then because mines 3 yrs and its fine. 

sumwonyuno: Thanx. Ok thanks for the advice.
