| (...) Not yet, but I've been thinking about it. I was actually thinking more along the lines of a gangster sub-theme of the Adventurer's series. Kind of a Johnny Thunder meets Al Capone sort of thing. The closest thing I've done is probably my (...) (19 years ago, 4-May-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town, lugnet.adventurers, FTX)
| | | | | Roaring 20's
|
| I was wondering if anyone tried to do a Gangster theme. I don't have that creative skill, but I would like to see 1920's + style cars and trucks. Good guys, bad guys cars, Police paddy wagons, Beer trucks, etc. With the Batman sets, we now have (...) (19 years ago, 4-May-06, to lugnet.town)

In my research for this project I discovered the unsettling term: "planned shrinkage" which refers to the withdrawral of basic services (fire, police, health care, garbage pick-up, etc) from the community with (...)

If anything, maybe more tires are needed in the vacant lot. Where is the (URL) Urban (...) (19 years ago, 3-May-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)
