The real world, no kidding. I have been trying to figure out how to model
America (as oposed to Europe) for my train layout and it just hit me. It is
really a sad commentary on us (US) but it still works! I have a Circuit City
almost complete and a Italian pizza shop in the pipline.

I like the Safeway idea. A couple other's were about trendy resturants TGIF...

BTW thanks for spoting these MOCs and bringing it up here. I'm pretty much a
train head and don't read many other groups (no time).
