SimCity

Day 1
Not much happened to the growth of my city today. I have $9,204 dollars. I have 1 power plant that is 6 years old and working perfectly. I have 4 residential zones, 1 commercial zone, and 3 industrial zones. My population isn't very high because of how small my city is. Their are about 12 water pumps located right on the water front that pump clean, non-salt water to all the homes, business, and factories. I am afraid that so far I don't have any schools or recreational places for my cities citizens to go. Here is a picture of my city at day 1... I used Google earth to find these. || Acapulco, Mexico || || Tokyo, Japan || || Rom, Italy || 1. Journal entry** My city is getting big, for it has really grown in population. I have dropped from $9,204 dollars to $6,549 dollars thought. In my city i now have 8 residential zones, 3 commercial zones, and 5 industrial zones. My water is pumping through my city perfectly and so is my electricity. I added more water pipes this time so the water will get to the outer end of the city, so now I have about 21 water pumps. I also added a school, a library, and a museum, so the intelligence of my citizens will increase. Crime rate and health of my city should be better to because I have located a hospital, a fire station, and a police station in a central location. On the river near my water pumps their is now a sea port and next to the seaport I have a bridge crossing the river leading to the other half of my land. Here is a picture of my city at day 2...

With my over abundance of money I have been able to add a football stadium, a zoo, a collage, a second library, a second power plant and more water plants. I also have many more zones now. I have 8 industrial zones, 13 residential zones, and 6 commercial zones. My people were also asking for another police station, fire station, and hospital, so now both sides of town he them. Oh and my property tax is only 7%, isn't that nice. Here is a picture of my city at day 3... I live off of Bolivar on S. Taylor Ave. Where I live their is a lot of residential zoning. But their is a lot of scattered commercial zoning around two. For on the corners of Bolivar and Quincy there is a bar and on the busy roads of Layton and Howell there is an arrangement of restaurants, Stores, and other public vacilates. Here are a few Walgreens, Family Dollar, Tippicano Library, Taco Bell, McDonalds, and the U.S bank. Pick in Save, Airport park, and Mitchell Airport are also very close to my house. There aren't many industries right in my neighborhood, but I do live pretty close to Downtown Milwaukee and their are a lot of industries there. []

Day 4
Today I went from $12,625 dollars to $20,284 dollars. I have added two more schools and another power plant, which is located on the other side of the river. My city made a big step today for it connected to two other cities, known as Blake and Pioneers. I found out my population today it is 18,380 people. I have added more zones, I now have 18 residential zones, 10 commercial zones, and 8 industrial zones. My city is still powered and the water is pumping throughly throughout the city. Oh, I added bus depots today too, so transportation in my city will be better. Here is a picture of my city at day 4... How a Nuclear Power Plant works. A Nuclear Power Plant uses small pellets, known as fuel pellets. It only takes 8 of these pellets to create enough energy to energize a house for one whole year. They put these plettes in to bundles. Once one pellet is split, it causes a chain reaction. As these pellets hit together the make energy. This energy is sucked into a generator and then funneled out over the city.

Day 5
I did a lot today, but I used quite a bit of money to do it. The part of my city that is across the the river is a lot bigger. For example, I now have 27 residential zones, 12 commercial zones, and 17 industrial zones. I have also added an airport and 2 more power plants. People have started to demand more now that my city has grown in population. The population of my city is 36, 300. My citizens demanded schools, a zoo, another library, hospital, police office, fire station, and a museum. I got them everything but the museum. Here is a picture of my city at day 5... A city receives water by setting up water pumps off the water line of a major lake or river. (For example the cities of Milwaukee's water pumps are placed at the off of one of the 5 major lakes, Lake Michigan.) Then the pumps pump the water to a cleaning plant. The cleaning plant goes through a process that cleans the water and removes all the bad bacteria and germs. Then the water gets pumped throughout city, so everyone will have water and not die of thirst.
