    I'd hate to own one of the businesses between the tracks. I trust that they don't sell anything breakable. :cute:

    John, maybe you could call your technique the The John Mui "Shake and Bake" I can see a movie and book deal here just waiting in the wings. I can be your agent for a mere 10%.

    Installed some We Honest lighted cars. They look great in a night scene.

    That is really coming along John. Do you have a shot of the whole thing? The street running is cool. you should google map fishers IN. your street has that same flavor. Check that Noblesville IN....Just north of Fishers. really neat.

    Thanks Joe, the town is only half finish. Main street is complete, but Maple street is only a quarter done. I have a lot of the buildings done, but they need to be installed and wired the lights. The Town Builder Series buildings are the best, but they are hard to find this days. I will take a picture of the whole modules oe its completed. By the way, one of the big pieces to the town is coming this week, and its a motel.

    Maple Street

    Before you guys complain to the management, the hotel takes no responsibility for the parking abilities of their patrons.

    It doesn't look like there are enough rooms there for all those customers. Maybe they're trying to be the first one there.
