Here's the picture of Laurent, Arizona being built right now, the construction began about two years ago and should be completed in 7 years from now. When completed it will become the American Sign Language populated city, the first and only of it's kind in the world. I have signed up to have a home built there on either Hotchkiss Avenue or Scoggins Lane.
Now this photo here is an image of what the city should look when completed in 2015. I know it looks real here, technologies these days are amazing.
Okay okay I'll get real here, it's all made up. I got this email today from a friend that had interesting photos of how this city Dubai is being built. I found it hard to believe how fast they are building especially with artifical islands. Here's the link if you want to see 26 more images.

After seeing that link earlier today I had wondered what's happening with the city of Laurent plan now? Any of you know updated news for this?

Yeah...I wondered whats the latest on Laurent. I truly wanted to live there. The closest to Laurent is a small town of 900 people in Cave Spring, GA. Check it out.
Wow! Heard about Dubai~ And those pics are awesome!
Last I heard, there might be Laurent, Indiana. Who knows..but Arizona sounds better!
Anon, I looked up Cave Spring...I didn't know the Deaf school is in that town. I can image the rate of Deaf population there is very high since the city's population is very small. I should stop by this town some day when I'm on my way to Florida. I like historical towns.
Candy, the last I can remember is Laurent's planner brought his family to Indianapolis so his kids could go to Deaf school there. He set up his "Laurent office" here while he explore other states too. I agree it'll be nice if it's in Arizona or anywhere southern. Oops I'm from Indy but...
The pictures are beautiful. Arizona would be good for my allergies, much better than Tennessee.
So would you really move there? I'm not sure I would leave my little community.

Valerie, me move there? probably not during my working years but when I retire, maybe. I did thought about living there few years ago but didn't. Interesting state.
