I guess that is a combination of not so top qualituy castings on windows and some point on kits in general. Many of the kits were originally produced way back and the tools are not as good as they used to be either. But as some of the comments above, you can do loads by painting the openings in same paint as the windows. Not very prototypical but looks better on a model. Anyway most viewers get blinded by the overall first expression anyway so you can get away. So far what I have seen on the new direction you have on the layout, it looks good. Love the elevator scene and how you can blend in kits, kitbashed or not, in to the scene with a very nice touch of weathering! A nice touch to the town scene could be some kind of modern one story building as a super market or something on the outskirts as a hint of at least one time business in town was good and the area was expanded post WW II... What I had in mind was something like I guess Model Powers kit like this with a little mods and perhaps a small add on for storage look right with another set of signs on it.....

By the way, some kind of donut joint would be a nice excuse to park a couple of black and white patrol cars next to it... lol
