I love it. I have been following your progress for a while now. It gets better
with each newly added element. The river and bridges inspired me to make sure I
put a river or urban canal in my layout. I just love the entire approach you’ve
take with the layout.
The buildings are coming along nicely as well. I like the dark orange facade
you’ve made and can’t wait to see it completed.
I have a suggestion to this building though (it is only my own opinion and
thoughts, FWIW) http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1594840
For the left most section: I think I would line up the upper floor windows with
the street level floor opening. I think it might be more asthetically pleasing.
I might move the lower opening over to the right, it looks like, one stud which
would line it up with the 3 windows above it. I imagine this building was once a
firehouse or garage or something, with the large street level garage door
opening converted to a regular door and windows.
I am looking forward to seeing this layout evolve even more!

p.s. yes i know the buildings are not color matched yet. i figured it would
be better to get the shape, then buy the parts verses getting the parts and
finding out it doesn’t work.

Another excellent approach.
