Welcome to this CJ, a month I was a hardcore SC4 CJer but then I found this game and it is so liberating. So without further adieu I present to you all the town of Charon Lake. Enjoy.

Basket Wells. The basket part of the name comes from the drumlins, formed by a retreating glacier, scattered around the area, another expression for drumlins is "basket of eggs".

It's always good to sneak in a SC3000 power plant to substitute for heavy industry. There are actually three such SC3000 power plants in this entry and all of them are different!

I'll show the suburbs of Charon Lake tomorrow, of course by then this town would have probably rapidly expanded!
