My mayor's term has come to an end here. My first and last post about Venemont, a city in which I can say I did invest some quality planning (most of the time 
). Where it paid off to invest in transport solutions - subway especially. But also where mod incompatibility (haven't played since before AD) made it impossible to go on now...
What could be considered the post card picture of Venemont, above, is taken from the Longpine TV Tower region. Where exuberant nature overlooks the city and also the very navigable Moselle river.
Get familiarized with the neighborhoods: Longpine is East of Iron Plains, on the top right.
Central Area: National Avenue
Here's where modern development happened first. National Avenue, easily identifiable with its 12 lanes, is the main artery into the city, crossed by one of Venemont's two Diverging Diamond Interchanges http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=453911819
Residential meets business and traditional commerce in the vicinity of Faun Quarter, home of the iconic Avalon Hotel and key to connecting the city center to Federation Square, across the river.
View from Faun Quarter.
Tranquil neighborhood of Penedo by Saint Michael Avenue, named after the church, which is part of a large property that extends itself up until Faun Quarter. Despite the general low attendance and religiousness, the city has many historical religious buildings.
Venemont relies heavily on its subway system:
Line 1, in green and orange, consists of a circular line with express and local trains in both orientations. And Line 2, for instance, goes uphill and connects Bentley Park to the western part of town, which includes the financial district of Sheffield Avenue.
Heading West: Financial District
The part of town with the highest concentration of serious people!
Sheffield Avenue is the name of this region, but the avenue itself is further right. The expressway on the image is integrated to the main highway system, with a direct connection to National Avenue, Federation Square and industrial areas.
Sheffield Avenue leads us to this vital roundabout. It's one of the main accesses to the densest residential areas of the city: Venemont Park.
Residential High-rises: the Plateau
The majority of the western neighborhoods are located on a large plateau. One can access its center from the expressway above.
The other side - looking at the financial district from an overpass in the plateau region.
An intersection is seen above, giving drivers access to the neighborhoods of Loften and Venemont Park.
Venemont Park is the city's second largest park, several (!) square meters behind Bentley Park. But that doesn't diminish its importance: an incredible amount of community events happen here. It's also where you'll find dozens of bus lines as means of transportation.
Lavender Street during the day.
Aerial view with the Loften neighborhood on the center.
The busy Loften Station leads passengers from Line 3 (a continuation of Line 2) to Line 5, an access to the Old Town district.
Old Town and Goodbye
The old Venemont Municipal Stadium still stands, right on the border of the Old Town and Venemont Park.
The Basilica is the center of this district, surrounded by tourists and wealthy residences in this distant part of town. Yes, the architecture can be somewhat conflicting! Building regulations have been very loose in Venemont for a while now...
Travel Agency shot.
But it's time to jump to the opposite side of town. If you're still reading any of the captions, you probably saw me going on about Federation Square.
This is it. A bohemian place with less noise during the day and more noise during the night. And, of course, offering a great view of other nice parts of town!
Bentley Park and City Hall in its middle.
University of Venemont.
University Station.
From there, I'll take the highway up to the Longpine forests and find my next destination.
Thanks for reading!
