Ah - I see that you are right.  Unfortunately, I bought this set from
someone else, who bought it from yet another person.  It was that third
person that applied the sticker impromperly.  I'm afraid to change it now
given that its almost 10 years old!

I started out trying for an Art-Deco look, but I kept slapping on my
favorite strange piece, and now it doesn't really look like any • particular

In the rear of the building is a park & ride garage.  Also, note the
monorail control knob sticking out from the top of the building (its the • red
2x2 tile with a black arrow).  Surprisingly enough, this provides a very
solid, reliable way to control the monorail (using the reverse track
embedded in the building):

Looks pretty cool.One thing however as a fellow monorail person to another
you have the stickers on your little tower upside down.
The top lifts off to view the monorail loading area inside:

In this shot, you can see the two observation points (on the right side • of
the building).  The lower one serves the train track, while the upper one
(encased in glass) serves the monorail track.
