Charlie, thanks for the nice comment.
When I looked at this photo <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.columbia.edu/imaging/diap/jfif01/.mosaic/nyc00424.jpg">http://www.columbia.edu/imaging/diap/jf ... c00424.jpg</a><!-- m --> and thought about the components of City Classics did I see some parallels. Two side walls connected with a recessed rear wall would look similar to the side view of a prototype building. I had just to skip the recession of the center due to space problem and to tone it down for some kind of 3D effect. The result is another option for the center background and it looks like a big city than the 9 little row houses.

Added a street between the two backdrop flats and adjusted the people on the street to "1980 level".
