A little inspiration

Gospel Voom, following in the footsteps of centuries of honoured craftsmen, has created a cathedral.

And what a work of art it is! Based on New Orleans’ St. Louis Cathedral, it is majestic yet airy, with beautiful stained glass and ceiling frescoes. Unlike the darker, castle-inspired basilicas one might have seen here and there, it is flooded with light, allowing a full appreciation of the soaring Gothic arches. But don’t be fooled into thinking that detailing will have been sacrificed for big-look impact; even the less noticeable features, like the outside spires, are given meticulous attention.

This post has been awaiting the launch of the rest of the sim, and it was worth the wait. The whole community is a worthy accompaniment to the craftsmanship of the cathedral. But don’t be intimidated by the classic beauty here, fun lovers, Orleans Blues is a hopping place. Beautifully designed retail stores line the central square, and the New Preservation Hall plays (what else?) jazz and blues worth kicking off your shoes for.
