I have to agree that the old stores were more to my liking. The mezzanine, the wood floors, so many details that added character to each building. I have tried to talk my DH into buying an old school building in a small town to refurbish and live in, just for the architecture and details. But I doubt it will happen... Sigh. Good thing I can add details to my home by making quilts :thumbup: :lol:
