Weren't we going to have a cookout? Or did you guys decide it would be too cold?

I think I can bring two of these as well.
Do we need any 32x32 basplates in green or blue? Any 16X32 tan? I know we
were talking about having a beach.

Actually, if it's not too much trouble, I think the connectors could be
variable based on the nature of the area. We would use sidewalks where they
would make sense (e.g. my block), plants in less developed areas, and other
material elsewhere.
I'm not thrilled withe the idea of using bricks to connect the baseplates
because they really stand out. Would plates be better? S@H is introducing a
new bulk pack of assorted 2x green plates in mid December and now avaible
for pre-order.

The price per stud is 91 studs/$. Would these be better?
One more thing...I have the following list of small details that could add a
lot to the layout that we probably want a set design for:
- traffic lights
- sidewalks - 4x lt. gray plates?
- bus stops
- benches - I would suggest using Steve M.'s design
What do you think?
