Jeez --- it's gotta be a Bowling Alley / Pool Hall combo. Think about it -- all these little Z-scale people need to place to go and unwind, drink a few beers, and pass their time away. Especially after a hard day of work at the local rail-yard.

I was gonna go with a "brothel", but I know, I know Dave, one guess per customer. So I am sticking with my first choice above. :P

My guess is a corner diner, every small town has one.

There are some good ones posted already. I'm thinking a theater would be good.

How about a Court House. All the towns in Texas have a court house in the center of town. Thats
where they figure the distance between the towns. So there is going to be a court house sooner,
or later. :lol: :lol:

In my experience, the second produces the first. :sick: (Or, as my late father used to say, "Eat here and get gas.")

I don't know why I didn't think of this before: a community hospital.

A Chinese restaurant :woohoo:

... I spent a year in CA as an exchange student, 18 at the time, so no alcohol for me and my friends.

At the local Chinese restaurant I ate with a friend one time, and I ordered "a milk" to go with my lunch. I got a.... Miller.

Since then we went there quite often.. :laugh:

Okay, my turn at a guess.... I actually have several items in mind that has not been mentioned by anyone. My guess would be a lodge like a "Moose", "VFW", or "Eagles". Many years ago my dad had a hobby store, and across the street was a brick two story Moose Lodge where the 10-lane bowling alley was in the basement, the general meeting rooms were on the main floor, and the offices were on the second floor.

Sorry to say we did not have a winner this month, but there were some good guesses. This month we present Jay Kay Appliances.

Nice. Do the T.V. screens work? :P I was wondering if there was a way to really do this, using a mirror and separate lenses somehow.

Kelly,
My first thought would be projecting a light through something like an 8mm movie frame of a test pattern, although that would be like a 70" screen. While I also have some thoughts about moving images, I'm not sure how effective it would be for a scale TV (.1", measured diagnally off course).
