The empty displays are all shoe shop displays, the perfect fifties style for holding cakes and pastry. I figured I needed to do something drastic. I bought the Town Royal Hotel from a friend and it was perfect for what I needed. That said, still not big enough for future additions. *hides in shame* I bought 2 Town series lookalike boats, as the boat cabins can fit right into the Town as a side building. I designed a 3D floor slab to fit all levels, with a honeycomb tile floor. I had a tower dome left from another Town inspired rip-off series, which I kept for a few years now. The top floor slab was designed with slots where the dome and it's decorative front piece could slide into.
