Okay, here's my contribution. I'm not sure how many pieces I used, and I tossed
it together pretty quickly tonight, so it could probably use some refinement. I
really like the record store idea, so I ran with it.

Just imagine all of the printed tiles as record jackets. I loosely based this
off from every record shop I've ever been in. Since they all seem to look
pretty much alike, I'm assuming they looked pretty similar in the 50's.
I didn't have enough room for individual listening stations, so I tossed a
record-player in the corner by the door (I got a blurry picture of it by
removing the cash register).
My favorite part of the MOC was the jukebox.
Not much else to say. Looking at it, I think I might sink the windows in from
the front face a bit, maybe add some arches, and some stickers (posters on the
wall, actual album covers, writing on the windows).
On the other hand, I kinda like how it looks like the place on the corner, where
all the kids hang out.
