SimRico: Thanks! Tiger Stadium forever indeed! In fact... that is a good lead in to this update... Well played SimRico.

So, I'm not much of a fan of winter. It seems like it came way to early this year. I've got 5 inches of snow in my yard. Not yooper deep, but hey it's something. So I thought we'd take a look at a nicer time of year. Springtime in Chicago. What would springtime be without baseball? Not much, I can tell yah that. Here's how things looked back in 1940 on Chicago's south side. I don't happen to know the name of the streets in this photo, but everybody looks to be having a great time on this lively corner. The bar appears to be open. The fire station looks quiet. There's a coal train on the highline. Likely headed for a steel mill.

Thanks for reading! Have a great week everyone! Stay safe.

Love the look of your street and that diamond...very good job, very realistic.

 

I don't know why, but looking at the picture kinda makes me think of the movie Stand By Me...lol

Exceptional loting!  I'm always happy to see the creative uses folks come up with for the HH props.  

And the mix of BATs surrounding the ball field really fits the 'scene' you are trying to create.  Well done!
