@Strap Hanger posted:For me, it’s not “Utopia” more than it is recreating the things I remember from my past. I have to admit that there is a lot of rose colored filtering, but my layout has its share of bums, graffiti, rats with wings (otherwise known as pigeons), assorted “other side of the tracks” scenes, etc. , like this one from a place in the village of NYC that I fondly remember, even though many have written about how PUTRID it actually was, LOL!
Its awesome that you have that on your layout Although I was there many times I am one that agrees it was putrid. People acted like jerks and slobs just to prove how cool they were After awhile I found a real bar that had the same bands playing as the &^%#hole CBGB. It was about a half mile north and had the coldest beer and waitress service upstairs Name of it was Max's Kansas City I may have to model that one
