Walter, Harry has an unbelievable lineup of storefronts. They are the best I have ever seen. You can make the scene as long or short as you wish, very expandible.
When he gets back, I will ask him to send me photos so that I can post them. He can also customize the interiors to match the Fargo scenes. How good that would be. |

Those are near 1950's displays. I can remember some stores like that when I was a kid.

It is fun to be near the production of a movie. Several years ago they made a movie in our area and used my Bowling Center has a venue. It was called "Dan in Real Life" Starring Steve Carrell, Juliette Binoche and Dane Cook. It was a lot of fun. They go through money like it's water.

Our farm was used for the production of "1000 Acres". Momence has had several movies shot there including Tom Hanks, "Road to Perdition". I'm enjoying myself being a part of this. Been awhile since. But also, one gets a feel of the era and can use them in their hobby. |

Store fronts add a unique personality to a layout. For years, most modelers used industrial scenes for a backdrop, but store fronts are so much more appealing with the lights and window decorations. Hp fpr it. Walter.

We too had a movie made near my hometown of Hazleton, Pa. In 1968. The movie was called The Molly Maguires. Film just outside of Hazleton in Eckley, Pa. The film was about Irish, Polish, Slovak immigrants that worked in the Anthracite mines and were taken advantaged of their sweat by the Coal moguls of the time. They fought to change the coal industry. Many of my friends auditioned for being in the movie as breaker boys, my father helped build the breaker for the movie and met the stars, SEAN CONNERY, RICHARD HARRIS, and SAMMANTHA EGGER. Still one of my favorite movies.

Josef, I love those old storefronts. The old TVs are a blast from the past. When I was little we had a PILOT (Brand) TV with a round screen, maybe 12" in diameter. I remember watching Farmer Gray silent cartoons on that old TV. This is a Zenith from the era and our first TV looked something like it.  |

I dont remember the name of the town but this was in NY State. Right down the street from this building was a store filled with guitars and old TV sets from the 1950s.  |
