Thumbs up Hutchinson, Delaware (III)

They say the thrid time is the charm....................

Ok, this time I think I've got it. I've made a very nice layout so far and am already working on the highways and infastructure of Hutchinson.

Since everyone seems to like Hutchinson, I am going to keep the name and location. Just of course a different layout. This time the city is much bigger, cleaner, and well detailed. This means I am strictly working on the infastructure right now. You will probably see the first buildings in early to mid September. I want to make this a good city! I will show updates as the city progresses.

A little history....................

Hutchinson was founded back in 1820 as a small fishing village and port. As time went on the fact the village was off the coast drew in more people. By the 1900's the cities population was just over 70,000. It was not until 1910 that the village (now becoming a city) was looked at as a business mecca. Since cities like New York, Boston, and Philadelphia were all getting crowded, companies were moving to Hutchinson, but sure enough the crowd followed and by 1960 the city was a booming business capitol. The trend of the glass boxes filled the city. By the 70's the city was quite built up, but there was still room to expand. That is where the highways, bridge, and tunnel came in. During the 80's the city went through a slump in both business and crime prtection. Buildings fell into dis-repair and crime was skyrocketing.

By 1992 the city stood back on it's feet with the newly elected Mayor: Herbert Rosenthol. Herbet made it a priority to clean the city up and by 1995, Hutchinson was voted one of the best cities to both live and work. With Rosenthol's term up in 97, the city re-elected him. In 2001 his reign as Mayor finally ended. He was considered the best Mayor the city had ever seen. But his departure did not make way for good times. About two months later 9/11 hit the nation. Hutchinson's Business market fell. The new Mayor: Phascal Insiglearry made a vowe to protect the city at all costs and bump back up the commercial market. Within a year his promise was fulfilled and since then the city has been cruisen through good times. With a population of 6,000,000 the city is doing what it can to make more room. Other than that it is currently smooth sailing. Mayor Insiglearry is currently serving his second year of his second term.

A visual update to come tonight.

Exclamation As you wish Mo

Here is an update showing you an overview of the city and three of the highways I'm working on.

The elevated highway: Riverside Drive
Below grade highway: Cross Hutchinson Expressway
Level Highway: Harper's Landing Parkway
The tunnel is called: Southbound Tunnel

The city is broken up in 4 main areas: Hutchinson, Shoreside Vale, Albom, & St. Marks Island.





More update soon. Enjoy.

very cool the big map will allow you to post pics without having to see the map edge - i think that makes it seem more realistic,it's like there is no boundaries

I'm going to take my time on this one so it lasts as long as Staunton and Palm Dunes.

Currently I am working on the other elevated highway that will lead to a suspension bridge. Nothing worth showing, but tomorrow I'll show you some of the bridge.

Ok, I took a break on the highway and did some work on the large park on the tip of the city. The problem is I do not know what to call it. Anyone have any suggestion?

Here is a pic of it:



Again, if anyone has any suggestions on what to call the park, I'm all ears.
I'll have another update tomorrow.
