Evening in Denver (No. 3)
Denver does not have larger area designations, unlike the City of Chicago, which has larger areas that house the neighborhoods (e.g., Northwest Side). Denver residents use the terms "north", "south", "east", and "west".
Denver also has a number of neighborhoods not reflected in the administrative boundaries. These neighborhoods may reflect the way people in an area identify themselves or they might reflect how others, such as real estate developers, have defined those areas. Well-known non-administrative neighborhoods include the historic and trendy LoDo (short for "Lower Downtown"), part of the city's Union Station neighborhood; Uptown, straddling North Capitol Hill and City Park West; Curtis Park, part of the Five Points neighborhood; Alamo Placita, the northern part of the Speer neighborhood; Park Hill, a successful example of intentional racial integration; and Golden Triangle, in the Civic Center.

The Noble Save: Civic Center
I was originally going to post Civic Center and Magnolia Promenade this week, but I wasn't feeling up to it and there's not much to talk about in Magnolia Promenade so I decided to just post this one. Maybe I'll create a post for Magnolia Promenade some other time, perhaps... perhaps not. Lol.
For those who don't know, Civic Center is a sub-neighborhood that came with Get To Work and is the location for the police station and the hospital that are only accessible by Sims in the Police or Doctor career, and pregnant Sims in labor and one companion. The Noble Save version of these two took me a lot of time to build especially the hospital but had a lot of fun building them. I also finished them a long time ago, I just wasn't able to talk about them here with all that's been going on IRL. Moving on to the builds:
Since I built this long ago, I can't remember if I bulldozed the original lot or just modified the layout, but here it is now, a more modern and fresher take on the then dark and dingy police station. Below are a few snaps from the interior:
Now for this one, I am certain I just modified the original building and obviously added an actual 2nd floor, and funnily enough, a helipad. This build took me a lot of time, but as you can see by the addition of the helipad, I had fun doing this one. As for the name, I thought that hospital was an international one so I thought I don't need to explain it. But if you are in the Philippines, specifically in Manila, I think you would already know which hospital I referenced this to, which also explains the more upscale interiors you can see below:
There are a lot more areas on both of these, but I don't want to bombard this post with too much photos. Even the grid already feels a lot for me. I guess you just have to see the rest for yourselves soon! I also love the last minute headers I made for this post, and if I have the time I would do the actual logos of the buildings, but I just want to get this post out for now. Maybe I'll update them at some point.
And even though this isn't an actual neighborhood, I still have my general description for Civic Center below:
After the major facelifts of both the then Police Station renamed to Magnolia Police District (MPD) and the then Willow Creek Hospital rebranded to St. Mark's Medical Center (SMMC), both these buildings increased in revenue for years. While SMMC took pride in their Sim-centered services and world class facilities, the MPD's reputation on the other hand is facing troubled waters after the public heard the news that they misplaced a crucial case file of an important investigation. The people thought it was irresponsible of them, while the others thought it might be an inside job to cover up a crime. But which one is it really? Whatever it is, and if this debate ever turns violent, SMMC is just on the other side ready to take very good care of you!
And that's a wrap for Civic Center! Look out for more soon! Dag dag!

One Or More Dreams? | The Civic Center & Sneako
File:Cathays Park, Cardiff.png
Dream 1
This was probably several dreams, I am not sure, so I will type them together like one dream.
At some point, one of my brothers and I were doing martial arts training.
Later, I had a false memory of me riding the school bus in the past by a business that employed a lot of people, but that business eventually went out of business.
One day, I was riding…
