Hi my friend,
Congratulation for 200 comments

[art128]

nice picture diggis, and congrats for your 202posts

Development certainly is booming in Watersford Forks, but glad to see there's still room for some green areas. Excellent use of your ponds and streams - I wouldn't have thought of using them in that way, but it works very well.

Love the night shots - always my faves - and love the story line, too. Now SCRUB has thrown in an interesting twist. Good luck in the tourney!

Later...
Joan

Ooooooh, nice stadium.

And is it a rugby stadium or is a a footie stadium with a rugby pitch PS'd over the top?  I'm intrigued.

Oh My God!

Diggis made an MD... good thing I found this just today!    (thanks Alex for the heads up!)

South Lester

It's been a while since we stopped off in Industrial South Lester.  Business is booming, with the expansion into areas like
Avalon, Camden and Kerrysville causing a rise in demand for materials. 



Here we have the large lumber processing plant.  This used to be in the centre of a large forest but demand for lumber
has meant that it has been rapidly deforested.   And the Lester family have rapidly taken the opportunity to fill this up
with industry.



Another area that is doing well is the shipping industry.  With the increase in trade and produce items are being shipped
region wide, although this container store seems to be backing up somewhat.  They usually ship to Port Terrington. 
Hopefully nothing untoward has happened there.  News has been scare, but there was a hurricane warning for Hurricane
John earlier.  May have to check in some time soon.



A quick look at the overview of the city reveals large tracts of dirty industry in the city.  Pressure is on the council to
encourage more high tech industry.



Local clothier Paul Cooker has opened a nylon plant for the ladies of the region.   He hasn't has much luck with the
ladies himself unfortunately, owing to using traditional techniques to produce his colours, which is also the reason for
close proximity to the sewerage plant.



Unfortunately, with dirty industry comes dirty commercial.  Paul's products are very popular here, as well as many
other... um... interesting products.



Another pair of shops that do quite well are Al's Guns and Tim's Tattoos.  Al and Tim, the Goober brothers, are a pair of
bikers who, after one too many run-ins with the Judge Edgren decided to go straight.  They opened their shops up next
to each other and do a roaring trade.  Al specialises in hunting weapons, small bore rifles and even archery equipment,
and Tim's bread and butter is 16 year old girls getting their first tattoo.  They seem to find comfort in the large bear like
Tim and see him as a father figure, little realising quite often he actually is.



The push for High Tech industry appears to be working.  Daeley has set up his Lab in South Lester.  DAMNed if I know
what he's planning next, but I'll be it'll be DAMNed good.



As part of the push for High Tech industry more schools have been built in the city, with better facilities.  Sports
psychologist C Adams was responsible for suggesting more sports equipment at the schools might make happier
students.  Cynics have been heard to suggest it was in aid of more customers for him in later life.



The running track at Simio School for Boys was the focus of a meet recently.  One of the schools from the OTHER
side of the tracks took out many of the events and they credited  it to the training regime of the students.  Given
the neighbourhood the school was in it is thought this is due to the boys spending most of their afternoons running
from the police.

That's all for South Lester at the moment, we'll be back again soon hopefully.

Simpson:  Thanks, and yeah I like the 4th pic too.

Art: Thanks, good to see you again.

Matt: I had fun doing the Barbypedia page, and am working on getting Joe and Fred to change the colours of the Wiki.  Glad you liked the tour, and I think there is an opening in the judges offices if you are looking for a job.

Barby: Thanks for the heads up.  There really is a plan, although it may not seem that way.

Bat: Thanks.  The 4th pic seems to be popular today.  Glad you all liked it.

Paul: I think De Hems might need to be modeled.  I'm sure I can put a pair of drunks huddled over a laptop, or hitting on American students. 

Jon: Bill still hasn't arrived, sorry.  The 2 min offer has lapsed too.  Bummer.  I'm not sure I have the night Mod still installed... must check.

Simpson: Thanks, thought I'd steal if for myself.

Art: Thank you

Joan: There will always be parks in my cities.  I'm a big fan of green space.  Hopefully the 12 nations will take off soon, we are just looking for 2 more.

Kim: Glad you enjoyed them.  I find it hard to get good night shots.

Casper:  Cheers mate, were you to blame for that?

Paul: Hehe, I got it from you, so you should know.

Jason:  Better late than never I guess.  Although now you know why all your work is behind...

Fantastic update.
I wish there was a fence between the school field and the train tracks. 
Other than that, I love everything, great work.

Hi Diggis 
Your new update looks super and I love the industries, so very good work in this part of your city 
I'm looking forward to the next update 

[art128]

really nice update , nice industrial area    looking foward to more !

[bat]

It's a really good industrial area there, which you have shown in that great new update. Fantastic work!

[Pat]

Shaun fantastic update here!!! Love the story on Al and Jim Goober 

[nerdly_dood]

AlGoober and JimGoober... sounds like a prolific BATter I'm familiar with...
Nice job with the cities as well as making up little tidbit captions for each, particularly the comment about the psychologist with questionable intents.

[Jmouse]

South Lester's industrial area looks great, Shaun, but some parts make me glad I don't often wear nylon apparel. What happened just below the sleaze ads - did that truck lose it's load, or - well, it looks like somebody lost something!

Unfortunately, Al and Tim aren't all that unusual in RL, but amusing to see in the fantasy world. I haven't seen those markets before - where did you get them? The school campus is well done, but I hope it's widely separated from Al and Tim!

You did good!
Joan

Very nice, the industrial area looks ehm... industrial, and the shops are a realistic approach too. And yes, maybe I was responsible for that...

[threestooges]

Looks like things are off to a good start this update. The lumberyard is nice and certainly looks adequate for the region's needs. The resulting industrial area looks pretty good but... there are still trees. The people at the lumber company must've missed them. Al and Tim seem to be doing some good business, Tim doing the tattoos for the girls and Al providing supplies for the fathers when they find out. Not exactly home improvement, but it works. The schools look good and their facilities seem top notch (suprised to see they both have two football fields (but they can certainly make use of them for other purposes). I agree with Robin about the lack of fences, especially with the bleachers right there (or are those for the visiting team?). As far as openings in the judge's office, you'd have to be nuts to jump into that arena in Watersford (no offense to Judge Edgren of course) but... wait a minute... I am NUTs. Ah sure, let's see what I can do there. Another good update Shaun. I hope there isn't too much damage from that hurricane you mentioned, but I'll keep an eye out for the next update either way.
-Matt

[deathtopumpkins]

That industrial yard looks great!
But what's this I hear about a hurricane warning for Port Terrington? Hope nothing bad happens.
And that's a neat building you've got there for Daeley's Lab.
Lastly, those sports fields look great, but I think I'd fill in that odd tile on the last one with a filler lot, and I think I have to second what people have been saying about fences.

Of very beautiful image!
