I think Athens is in future need of a city planner!
Possible future site of Athen's Trendy District. (District name could change. Maybe something like "Gallery District" or "Plaza District")
The torches mark where the roads would go (based on the chunk size). I was originally thinking of somehow keeping that cliff to the left as some sort of artsy billboard. I also want to follow the contour of that cliff's base. The middle chunks are nice and flat, and the one to the right is also hilly, which could have some sort of bi-level entrances. One thought I had was for the middle section to be sort of a glass-dome covered gallary with fountains, tables, benches, etc., with the buildings on the side.
This is my main vision for the area -
Left cliff - Have some decorative base following the contour of the cliff. Make the cliff a billboard with artwork on it. Clubs can go in front of the base of the cliff (I think the cliff is in the next chunk over, and borders it nicely). The cliff area could be built out (towards the east) if needed.
Middle - This nice, flat area could be a plaza (the off-white stone slabs) with fountains, tables, benches, shrubbery, and whatever else a plaza has. Also, it would have a glass archway/dome going the length of the plaza.
Right Cliff - Clubs with a bi-level entrance from the plaza side and the upper cliffside (Plazaside Entrance and Cliffside Entrance).
West of the road - This could have some clubs and/or snack bar. There's a little lake where a snack bar could be aptly named "The Watering Hole".
I'm planning on building a club called "The Callous Creeper". Full is planning some sort of music club, too. Also, some of the shops to the west of the road would be very close to the stadium wall. They would be 5-6 blocks deep maxium, but could function as maybe a concession stand.
My other ideas of where the plaza district could've gone were:
Barns & Pens - Relocate the animals, and build the trendy district here. Plus side is that it's spacious. Down side is it'll be tedious relocating everything (unless someone did a quick copy/paste of things). The chunks don't line up nicely here, though, as it follows the old city layout a bit.
In front of the railroads and by the church. Lots of area, but it seems there's sort of a Military District springing up there, and is competing with the Market District. The area is becoming sort of "too busy".
West of the stadium - The area is flatter, but this is where two spawners are (skeleton and spider spawner, used for spider eyes and bonemeal). The area could be some sort of national Forest area instead.
