SimCity

Journal Entry: So far everything is going ok I have enough money if my power plant blows, but I think I might be expanding to fast but I have schools, police, fire departments, college, zoo, airport, water, I have a lot.
 * Day 1:**

3 cities with an grid pattern:
 * Milwaukee, Wisconsin 1906
 * Childress, Texas 1890
 * Cheyenne, Wyoming 1882

3 cities that don't follow an grid pattern:
 * Los Angles, California 1877
 * Virginia, Nevada 1875
 * Bayfield, Wisconsin 1886

Journal Entry: So far I expanded a lot, I have about a half of the map filled, but I have to build more factories. I have $93,023 so I have money to expand. I been trying to keep my pollution as low as I can so I have the microwave's for my power plants. I have a lot of police, schools, fire departments, and a lot more. My people are dying a little young around 67 so I have an problem, but like Mr.Skonecki says there dying young but their smart enough to know it.
 * Day 2:**

Definitions: grid- Lines that are evenly spaced, horizontally or vertical. commerce- Selling and buying some kind of good. industry- Manufacturing, a range of products. residence- The place someone may live in. zoning- The zone of an particular area of buildings. property tax- A tax that you have to pay for something of yours such as an home. recreation- To relax other than doing work. mayor- The head person in the community, for government. alderman- The member of an city or town that is the legislating. common council- To be an local legislative body in municipal government.

Journal entry: So far my city is going good I guess, it could always be better. More than half my city is full, and there’s schools, hospitals, all water. My people are dying at age 69, which isn’t good. On the other hand my city's education is 103, because I have a lot of schools, colleges, museums, and libraries. So I am going good but I need to get my life span higher so i have to get ride of so much pollution. Its basically like last journal entry but I made some small arrangements.
 * Day 3:**



Zoning: In my neighborhood theirs a lot of two family residents, with some multi and single-family homes. We also have parks like Humbolt. No downtown what so ever. Were my neighborhood is theirs a lot of people and main streets like chase and Howell. There’s only like 1 commercial, planned development, and institulanial. On the other hand though there’s a lot of neighborhood shops, and local business. Which is about right because theirs Speedway, Target, Sky High, Chase Pantry, Dollar General, Little Creasers, Super Cuts, and Sentry are all business that are in and close to my neighborhood. Theirs only a couple factories by my house, one that is really realizable is the factory across the street from Target. Also theirs Fricthe, Bay View, Humbolt, and Dover for schools. Journal entry: In my city I stop expanding so much I just stayed with what I got and upgraded some things, like power plants, more hospitals, schools, police, fire, and more. So my city has all water, bus transportation, and air flight, thats basically it. Tomorrow I'm going to work on having my whole city with fire, and police power. Power plants work: Coal burns for fuel to heat the water, turning the water into steam, then have the steam turn an turbine, and then last to cool the water to run it trough again and again. So the turbine spins so fast from the steam, then the this speed produces electricity to the generator. Still all the power plants, produce different amounts of energy, by the fuel it uses.
 * Day 4:**

Journal entry: My city isn't going the best, it has police and all but I have to get more of them. I am expanding across the water with bridges and building. Everyone has power and water so thats a plus. I have streets to other towns, and bus transportation. I don't think I am going to build freeways. I have 52,509 and my people are living to 68 and my education is 106. So I still have an couple more things to do. Water: Milwaukee water is taken from lake Michigan, into a cleaning facility. Then they clean the water there, and then distribute the water to homes and business. After we then use the water, it is taken to an sewer. Sewers are around the whole Milwaukee, not only water from our houses may go to the sewers after we use it, but rain water might too. Then the cleaning facilities may pump the sewer water back to them to clean or dump into the lake and then cleaned after a while.
 * Day 5:**

Journal entry: My city has power, and water to the whole city. I'm expanding again to the other side of the map that isn't full. My whole map it almost full now though, but my city is a grid. My police power is good, but not on fire power. I have schools, and colleges everywhere. I have $74,957 at 7% a year, and I make about $4,000 a year.

Journal entry: Well today was the last day for Sim City, and I'm done. My map is all full and I have everything for my city to survive. I have 2 prisons, grid, 3 bridges, water, power, 16 police, bus transportation, airports, stadiums for all sports, seaports, 14 fire, $35,038, 69 health, and 104 education. So everything is ok, its good enough for the city to keep on going and not to die. The health isn't the best though thats one of the couple problems.
