Shopping street

[Raven]

Thank you for your nice comments. 

Yes, the bathroom belongs to the studio apartment - rather yellowed and grubby.



You're correct about where the parts came from: I bought two schools, one hospital, and the big modern house of course, all secondhand, just for building material.  One of the schools and the hospital were mostly unfurnished, so quite cheap!

The sticking out red window on the upper floor of the bike shop was also secondhand - the seller had created a building from various spare parts, including this window, which originally came from the 3885 Fire Station.

The green windows are from the 5119 farm ('Barn with Silo').

Aha, thanks!

You know what puts me off a project like this? Trying to get all the pieces back to their original sets afterwards
With the steck buildings, I pretty much know their lay-out by heart. But those sytem-X ones, they all look so much alike.

Time passed.  A canal was dug through the town.  And a local pirate opened a Repair Yard for damaged pirate ships.



The town changed.



The shopkeepers quickly adapted.



The supermarket became a General Stores for pirates.



And the bike shop no longer sold bicycles.



Instead of repairing bikes, the owner now repaired rowing boats.



The baby shop owner moved into the apartment above her shop.



So that she could turn her house into a Boarding House for pirates.



Her baby shop became a Weapons Shop.



And cannons replaced strollers and cribs.



She never quite trusted pirates, though.  And so she kept a weapon of her own, hidden beneath the counter.

Ha, that's great! At least the shopkeepers were able to adapt...

  Well that's certainly an unexpected twist can't blame the baby shop owner for keeping a weapon under the counter still those Pirates look fairly friendly although I guess it's hard to tell with Pirates. I really like the General store and a neat idea having a rowing boat repair shop.

That's the way it is with neighborhoods, change over time. Nice that the shopkeepers were able to adapt.

[Birdie]

Haha, that's great 

That pirate in the shop paying with a golden coin, nice touch 

[Rhalius]

That's a very beautifull street. Both the versions with and without pirates. 

Curious that that woman went from a baby shop to a weapons shop though. Let's just hope that with her sword under the counter that she does not end up bringing a sword to a gunfight.

Nice street !!

But is the water not a bit to high ?

a lovely row of shops and for a moment I thought the kitchen/storeroom was an electrical appliance store
