Hello folks! I just happened to realized I created my OGF account 1 year ago today, the time has just flown by.
Below is Patriot City after one year of work. This is a city inspired by Philadelphia and its surrounding area.
I'm working on filling in the entire city before I move on to its suburbs and the rural areas of Jefferson. I do have a lot planned for that. I have not done much work on the wiki yet, I plan to do a lot more in the future.
Demographically, the wealth in the city is concentrated to the south and east, with some exceptions.
Recently I've been working on the south side of the city. This is an area along the river, a few miles south of Center City. It is very "old money."
By contrast, the large north side area is lower middle class, consisting mostly of densely packed single family homes, low density apartment complexes, and a few trailer parks.
Center city was the first area I mapped. I hadn't used JOSM for very long and as a result, it is not some of my best work. Some day I might decide to redo it, since it is the focal point of the city. But that would take a lot of work.
I'm most proud of how the areas around the perimeter of the city have turned out, for the most part inspired by 1950s suburban development in the US.
Lots of work is being done, much more planned, stay tuned! And thanks for taking the time to read my post.
