Good Morning All. 36° and mostly clear. Had to make a trip out to the hardware store yesterday to get some parts to repair the tractor. So I stopped by the local grocery store that I only occasionally use to get some whipping cream for the wife, and I jokingly asked about hand sanitizer. Lo and behold, the cashier reached around and grabbed a bottle off the shelf behind the register. I guess that I am hoarding now since I didn't really need it. TP aisle was empty though. Eggs, bacon and other groceries were in seemingly full supply.
My daughter and one grandson came by yesterday evening to pick up the granddog after a month out of town. Molly (the dog) was excited. I am sure that she thought that she would never see them again! While the neighbors mowed their front yard while they were gone, no one mowed the back yard. Grass was so thick and high that SIL wasn't able to use the mower. He had to use the weedwacker to get it low enough to finally use the mower.
Eggs over easy and a handful of bacon for me this morning Flo. I'll take the mask off long enough to eat.
Thanks for the likes (and loves) as well as the positive comments yesterday regarding the structures;
Jerome, Bob, Tom, Sherrel, Patrick, Phil, James, Guy, Garry, Joe, Karl, Chet, Paul, Curt, Ken, Chad, Johnny, Joe, Justin.
So the tour of the train shed continues today. To the left of the Model Power structure is Walther's Merchant's Row I.
At present, I have only named the LH and center business. Tequila's Mexican Restaurant on the corner and the Calico Cat bar in the center. I already have some figures set aside for this block, but I am not adding them until I finish handling it with signs and interiors.
Backside view.
A view of Tequila's.
Visible behind the restaurant is townhouse from DPM.
A view taken from behind MR I at the townhouse.
There's normally a couple of cars parked back there, but they are currently on the workbench getting license plates installed.
To the right you can see a small business building with a bakery on the bottom floor and a doctor, lawyer and insurance agent on the upper floors.
This is a Walther's structure that was known as Bill's Glass House when I purchased it years ago. Now it is either Flower's by Terry for the kit, or 10th World Comics if you get the built up version.

The siding ends at the tall building behind the train which is on the corner of E. Menderhall St and Nth Wallace Ave. What the business is I couldn't identify. from the 3D view.
Looks like a "prairie skyscraper" (grain elevator) to me.
Garry - For some reason I thought that your layout was finished after you added the bridge and "old time" town. The trailer unloading yard looks like a fun project.
Curt - You're going to be busier soon.
Sherrel -
OH=OH Trouble!
I just opened the last bottle we have of "Chateau Ste Michelle" Cabernet Sauvignon 2016!
Time to break the quarantine!
In the world that I used to live in, today would have been tax day here in the states, but not this year.
Everybody have a great day.
