I'll make the same wish as well. I will be away this Saturday through Monday, returning on Tuesday so I want to wish all a happy weekend.
Also, it seem the snow still does not want to leave us here in the North Country. I will be driving through a lake effect storm warning area that could get 6-12 inches of snow so please say a little prayer that my and any passengers make it to our destinations safe and sound.
I'm really hoping for the snow to disappear completely so I can continue my work on Carpenterville and have new pics up for all to enjoy.
Happy Happy!!

Beaner Hi Beaner, Speaking of Carpenterville, I thought of another suggestion for a business inspired by "Aurora" and the city where Karen and Richard grew up: Rolling Downey Alleyway Bowling and also the retro-sounding: Mr. Guder's Roto-Rooter ;->

I think "Carpenterville" is now fast becoming a game on this forum with the aim of coming up with appropriate/clever/humorous names for businesses, streets, landmarks, geographic features, people, etc. Here are a few more: All I Can Do Handyman Services B'wana She No Home Security & Alarm Systems Calling Occupants Telemarketing Jambalaya Cajun Restaurant There's a Kind of Hush Soundproofing Flat Baroque (Flat Broke) Loans

I say "Go for it"! It's really neat hearing all these play on words. However, it may just stay a little game cause my shed is only an 8x10 shed and there is only so much room for HO Scale buildings, etc. hehehhehe.
I only plan on a about a h alf dozen more names or so and then I will just focus on more landscaping. The whole idea was initially just to create a model layout only using diecast vehicles instead of trains since I collected them. The Carpenter thing just kind of came out of the blue so I went that route. I'm glad I did.
I plan on eventually putting heat and electricity in there so later on down the road I can also put some lighting, etc. in there like street lights and some buildings. I'm hoping to continue this so it can become a good retirement hobby for me.
Getting back to why this thread was started in the first place, I was planning on going back home (3 hours away) for a weekend visit but in between where I have to travel they are in a winter storm warning with up to a foot of snow possible so I cancelled on tomorrow night and will only go in overnight on Sunday to spend a little EASTER time with my family, then right back home on Monday.
Again, hope all have a blessed Easter!
Beaner

I laughed as I read them, cause your imagination here is just wonderful - putting these songs and businesses together. I just love it. Forgive me for not being able to post PRIOR to Easter....it's been quite a busy time for me. I'll try to catch you all up in Tim's Corner, but suffice it to say, I've had my hands full. It's all good, though. I do hope everyone had a great, blessed, uplifting, wonderful Easter Holiday - a new beginning in the calendar of the Church - a way to take stock in all that is happening, that has happened, and that hopefully, will happen for this new time in our lives. We had a nice quick trip to St. Louis, saw some family, went to a wedding, and back the same day. Long day, but rewarding. HAPPY EASTER to all of you. I hope it was wonderful. Tim
