Looking left to right first is the large Battaglia Bros. Warehouse. I made this backdrop flat following methods outlined by Mike Palmiter (in Railroad Model Craftsman several years ago) whose work can be seen in this link: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.thetrainexchange.net/mikepix.htm">http://www.thetrainexchange.net/mikepix.htm</a><!-- m --> . Mike uses mat board and masking tape on plexliglass sheets to create large structures. When looking at Goggle Images of warehouses I found a photo of a large building owned by Butler Brothers. I liked the alliteration with the B's and thumbed through my phone book until I found a name I liked that also suggested "east coast".

A little more to the right you can see the large Grain Belt Beer sign. I'm mixing my regions since this is a Minneapolis landmark. Our local paper printed this image a few years ago and I cut it out to make a good sign for the layout that I knew local visitors would recognize. I have my freeloading ball fans sitting on the sign now instead of on the roof behind the ball field.

Dinner time!!!! I'll post more later.
