Thanks, Your right but it is always nice to here someone else thinks so too.
Comming from you it is a huge compliment because I know you are into town and
modern type stuff.

Thanks again, That was done on purpose to be a bit more realistic as well as
it being a resource issue for me. Actually that makes it more realistic as
well because often a lot of money is spent on the appearance of the front
facade of the buildings with a much smaller budget for the back and/or sides.
To me using all those arches on the back would have been cost prohibative when
considering my collection. Also one of the buildings has a Tan front with red
sides and back, thats because it was done before you could get Tan from S@H.
Of course now it isn't so hard to do the whole building in Tan, much like the
Dark Gray building was done mostly with bricks from S@H.

That was one of my goals, I spent a lot of time just trying colors together no
matter how wacky I thought they might be. Actually my favorite building is the
Theatre thats Yellow, Green, and Dark Pink. Talk about a combination that
wouldn't jump to mind.

I am glad you like it, most of the views through windows and out the opposite
side are because I am not big into interiors. I have kept interiors in mind
when building most of the buildings but other than my church I just havn't had
the desire to do it yet. Maybe when I run out of Bricks and Windows...

Well whats there is finished but I have plans for 3-4 more buildings and I need
to get some Yellow 1xX tiles and Black 2x2 tiles to finish off the parking lot
and sidewalks.
Thanks for the comments, I just hope I have time to add to it soon.
