It is supposed to replicate a busy industrial street with trucks being loaded
and unloaded and such.  There is also the light yellow car repair ship that Tim
Gould pointed out to me from a model train layout here:

The street itself was something I had wanted to do for a while . . . a paving
stone (cobble stone) look.  I was fortunate enough to run into the right qty of
1x2 dark bley tiles at a low enough cost to make it less expensively than if I
had used dark grey 1x4 bricks as I have on my other roads.

The opposite side of the street will be an industrial canal.

Comments, thoughts, ideas, always welcome!
