Only problem is that we could only serve Horse, Kaddu, and Polar Bear. :-)

I was thinking of including some of these in my market. I have already built a
Flower Shop for the market and was considering an Armory as well although as I
have said before my Castle fig selection is not very good so stocking an Armory
might be tough for me.

You mean everyone doesn't live in the Castle? :-). Seriously I was thinking
about doing a couple of houses for the "middle" to "lower-middle" class.
Unfortunatly I am currently suffering from LEGO Builders Block or "LBB" and
have not been able to create anything to my liking.

All cool Ideas!
A couple of other suggestions.
- Town Gate
- The Moo Men Camp just outside town?
- Barracks for the town guards. - (I was considering this one)
- Tree's with lookout stations?

I think a predetermined layout might be tough. It seems like we are probably
better off making all the buildings as interchangable as possible and just set
things up when we get there. We did talk about creating some shelving to mimic
a hillside where the Castle could be. This would be non-Lego of course but
with a couple peoples help I could lend my tools and basement for building a
couple of simple shelves.
