While waiting for some stuff I ordered to finish my station, I'd thought I'd start this scratchbash project I've been planning for months.
It started out as a City Classics Company house.

I wwant it to be a deli or a corner store. I'm planning on putting it on the same street as my 'hood.

I just ordered interior details(with my new catalog) for it.

Thanks everyone.
Here's the interior shot that I did this morning.


Pizza anyone!
Not a lot of places to sit down, but by the looks of the line, it must be good pizza.

Hmmmm.....Large pepperoni and sausage please.

Here's what'll it will look like through the windows. Guess it'll need some lighting.

Looks busy honey, maybe we ought to find someplace else to eat.

Awesome work! Looks right and true.
Reminds me of this place back in Ohio.
"Tavenelo's" (not sure on the spelling) was at one time a Gas
station and garage. Well... By the time we moved down the road
it was a Pizza place with some convient store items... Oh Ya!
It was a Five-n-Dime. A little of everything ya might need, but
town was to far or the snow to deep. Great Pizza! Great family!
The floor was 3ft. above the ground, so the floorboards creeked.
Also, the floor had sagging spots, not an spot even in the slightest.
Today, The place would be shutdown for health laws, and codes.
Even though... They had "pan" (thick) crust pizza before the "Big"
joints. Awesome on a "snowed-in" winter day.
Long time sinces I thought of the place... Thanks 88. :D

Ed, that looks awesome! Love the tablecloths! And the term grinder places it squarely in New England (at least as far as I know) I was in New Hampshire last month and it was my sons first time up there, we stopped at a pizza joint where there was a sign for grinders, he asked me what they were! You never see that around here. Here they are subs. Funny how different areas call things by different names. Opens up the possibility of making an error in a model such as this if you are modeling an area other than where you've lived. (Hope you're not modeling N.J.!)
