Llama Lines: Tegrof's Expo Site > 05/21
There's a new SimCity Site by Tegrof, which will display his recreation of the 1967 Montreal Exposition. Last Friday, he uploaded the first grouping of about 15 Pavilions to the Maxis Exchange [here], but will be presenting additional works at his new site, along with the customs that went into creating them - first up is the Monorail System that connects all of the expos and plazas.
Freeland Twilight Zone > 05/20
This is the second excerpt from Eduarqui's presentation of his city, Everytown.

The city itself - along with many of the landmarks used in the design - will be made available as the story progresses.

All of this is coupled with thoroughly detailed documentation of the historic structures which V-apps has recreated.
C&J Group > 05/09
The Freeland Cooperative Grocery Distribution Center is now up and running in the city, so can the Co-op Grocery Stores be far behind?

The Stadium Shoppe > 05/07
Today marks the Grand Opening of Erik Mesa's Stadium Shoppe here in Freeland and many of the Simworld's star athletes have come out to celebrate the big occasion. The first business of its kind in Freeland, the Stadium Shoppe will be the home turf of all of Erik Mesa's excellent sports projects as well as the collected works of the original Sim-Stadium Master, Carmensdad. A stadium exchange is also set up so that others can contribute to the Shoppe, as well as an intriguing and very promising "Build Your Own Stadium" section, tons of team logos and even a sports talk BBS. We here at the Globe are honored to have Erik in our city and wish him nothing but the very best of luck with all of his efforts in Freeland. [Visit today and receive a free bobblehead Erik with every stadium purchase!]
