This might sound strange but you are both right. I actually did the sign
before I even thought of doing a theatre and at the time the sign was ment as a
"For Rent" sign. Your wife is right however in that the show "Rent" is a very
popular Broadway Musical and many people now assume that is what is meant by
the sign.
Anyway it could work either way so just use your imagination like we do with
LEGO all the time :).
BTW I am considering changing the sign at some point but for now it remains as
"RENT"
Thanks for the comments by the way. If I ever get some free time I am planning
on expanding the scene quite a bit. The next addition will probably be a
police station. At the moment I am just collecting Window, Doors and other
parts so that when I get time I will have all the parts I need to build several
other buildings.
