Well Austin55, you werent here when these where on SSP Cityscape.
Well, back in October 2006, Staunton was positively coming along great. But I got bored of it, so Staunton Stopped Production.
And, here is was
Oceanside, California
I'm sure many of you remember it!
Oceanside was a New kind of Metropolis, in Contrast to Staunton, Oceanside was a bright city, with a population of 900,000 to 1 Million, smaller than Staunton. The City was squeezed between LA and San Diego and was one of America's greatest cities. The crime crackdown of 2000 and anti-drug war helped the city improve from its "meh" 90's.
After 9/11, while Staunton collapsed, Oceanside only improved.
The city was very sucessful, COMworld, a multibillion Enterprise had its headquarters in the 76 Floor Comworld Tower, taller than the original Galcorp Tower (I raised up One Galcorp a while back for better prominence). The City had rolling plazas, palm trees, and lovely modern Skyscrapers. Many of those tenants where such as JCsummit, RegionBank, World Entertainement (Headquartered in Hollywood), PalmBank, and Lewis & Clark financial (which has yet to move its offices to New Jersey).

Of course, some of you already know the story.
My Computer Crashed.
December 2006.
So, all I had was an old Backed up version of Staunton. The only thing left of Oceanside was the thread (which is long gone now).
And of course, Staunton was lost too.
I did resume Staunton shortly before the crash, Imagine if my computer never crashed, I wonder what Staunton would have looked like today.

Hmm, I wonder if it would have looked better,
I've saved all the Oceanside pics shortly before the thread was deleted, I'll show em' if anyone wants to see more!
