◊The Land Of Reden - Holiday Small Updates!◊

[szymcar]

Hello everybody in my MD

Historical lands of "European Cowboys" have been completely changed when in 1876 Franz Ferdinand discovered there black coal resources. For two centuries Reden was a typical mine town. Today is a very cultural city with a lot of beautiful places, nice transport infrastructure, and many many more, that you can see in the pictures. I was inspired in polish cities: Wrocław and Opole.

Please watch this movie. Hear the hymn and see historical pictures.

You can reach here only by Death Road (Old Lubań - The City with mining traditions) Today I Will Show You City Center. This is the biggest City Center I've ever built. Compression is very big for you comfort in seeing. (I hope You'll see all the pictures ). The United Europe Avenue. There is real border between Miejska Górka and Stary Lubań (a little of Miejska Górka's City Center is placed on Stary Lubań square to keep realistic divide). Old Church in Miejska Górka borders Viaduct on city's border The northern suburb. Route above [river name] Roundabout opening road to City Center City have advanced canal network, which you can see on next pictures. Below Little Marketplace Vicinity of Main Train Station (Symmetrical) Main Train Station Square - One of the most representative places in Stary Lubań. At left you can see Main Train Station One of the richest streets in the city. Theatre St. From right - The "Wersial" trading house,  High School No 1, Fired Dept no 2 This same avenue. Practically end of City Center A little of parks among concrete Szczecińska Sluice Historical rail viaduct, and as now only direct way between Eastern and Western City Center Main Train Station from behind, and the action of unkempt tenements demolition. Most important city's monument - Gothic Tower from 1234 year. A lot of people think that is the most beautiful tower all over the Simworld. There begins commercial and office district Top City Center is placed at St. David Island. I seek minimize of using Paris tenements (It's a popular, and easy to build. It isn't in my style.) In the photo - City's Gate, and the unit of Edwige Queen trading houses. On the left little bridge to New City District. (For the nosy - Enter to this gray tenement is placed in next building) For the moment we'll go trough the little bridge, to look on the New City District Canal dividing Western City Center and New City District I've idea for a untypical Main Marketplace. How I do it you can get know. In the photo brick water tower at Main Marketplace John the Baptist Church and eastern Main Marketplace. Northern Main Marketplace Western Main Marketplace And southern Main Marketplace Edwige Queen Lane Draw bridge joining Western City Center with Commercial and Office District. In the photo you can see historical port from Industrial Revolution spell The place of restaurants and gondola marinas. The Presidents Island - The monument of Husband and Wife next to boat marina. On the top in left City Hall The historical place of Communist time. In many polish cities communist architecture look ugly and is destroyed. I can't complain that my communist architecture is bad. However you can agree or not agree with me. In the photo Mother's Russia Monument We are in New City District. I'll show you some of god modernistic architecture. You can see that modernistic architecture is mixing here with historical buildings. The Peace Avenue - The main street of New City District On the left the Main Market, next to workers tenement. They are poor, and don't have enough money to repair it. The Peace Avenue The White Eagle Apartments - Very Exclusive and $$$ by night Lastly some night shots.

Wow, what a fantastic set of pictures.   

I love the way you've mixed the new and the old districts.  You can tell just how much time you've taken over this.

Two questions:

1- Where did you get fire department number 2?  I really like that and want that in my city!   

2- Which canal set are you using?  I think I need to have that as well.

I am looking forward to following your MD.

That is one heck of an opening for an MD. Certain people I know can barely squeeze out a waterfall a week (you know I'm just rattlin' your chain, right, P.?!)

Some news from city


(New City District News)

Today have been opened City Park in New City District. The build had been partly founded by White Eagle Settlement investor. Park a raised on waste lands between apartments in New City District and hypermarkets in Bielany Lubańskie, making ideal transition between residential and commercial architecture.  We can't complain - everything has been done as we wanted. We are going to enlarge City Park from railway to United Europe Avenue. At the ends of park will be build pier and marina. Does local government keep one's word, to be as good as one's word we'll find out in next years








(Stary Lubań News)

Last week have been ended construction of social flats at sport airport in New City District.(...)blablabla .
