I'm glad you said that, Gary!!  Are you listening, GMLTCers;-D

Yes John, we're "listening".  Since your 'inside voice' is approximately the
same volume level as a jackhammer, it's hard NOT to listen to you.  Of

I could say that black is black, and I'd get an argument from you guys:-)

Would you rather have a town of 20+ smaller buildings, or 6 big buildings?

when we could have two

We only need so many Pizza shacks and Fotomats....We'll just see....

And I'm sure those buildings will look lovely on *your* layout...

They'd look lovely *anywhere*:-)

<snipped a whole bunch> We'd only argue with you about black being black because you would most certainly argue that to be black it had to be the size of a 2001 monolith. <grin> I like mini-land too, but that's not what we're aiming for.
