Site of the Day: City Creator

They say Rome wasn’t built in a day. Ha! I built a city in 13 minutes*. And I did it on City Creator, a site for  armchair urban planners (as opposed to the real kind, like the late Edmund Bacon, "The Father of Modern Philadelphia" as well as "the father of Kevin Bacon"). Building your own burg is a matter of drag-and-dropping buildings, roads and walkways, and some fine upstanding citizens onto a blank field reflecting one of three architectural themes (medieval, futuristic, and winter wonderland). You can even save and share your creations with others.

*Full disclosure: My city, New Philadelphia, measures four blocks by six blocks — but it has free municipal WiFi and a winning football team.

    This is extremely weird. I’ve been reading PopWatch since the beginning. Decided to become an urban planner this week, and here is this random link.

    Hey, the Eagles did win yesterday. It was ugly, but they won. GO PHILLIES!

    It was my pleasure to visit your Website. I am also very Website you enjoy the article.And I also have the feeling that it was really a pity that we didn’t meet each other earlier. Because the kindness and warmth in your Website can make me completely relaxed and happy. I hope that you will visit my blog too to see if you can have the same feeling.http://www.buynikeshoes.com
