The "McElhoe Mercantile"
 

Larry Burkholder and I have completed another fine business establishment for the 'town with no name'. Larry painted and asembled the structure and I added the window curtains, entry canopies, and the show window details. This one brings back memories of the old big department stores. Growing up in Seattle I enjoyed visiting the downtown Bon Marche (Now Macy's) and going up to the 7th of 8 floors to visit the model train section. As a junior high schooler this was my first real experience with train shopping and this place was one of the areas best for its time. I would lust over the long row of brass steamers!:p

Being my namesake I know the window displays represent the fine lines of merchandice that can be had for not much more than half the tripled price of an outlet mall.:rolleyes:

Bruce and Larry, Very nice job. Looks great since you do not have Bagelman in the back ground. Bob (Phil's hero)

Awesome job, Guys!

A bit of advice... make sure to put it REALLY far from the "Strickland Five-Finger Discount" store, in case something bad "happened" to Bob's store and caused some collateral damage.

I don't know in advance that ANY kind of MAJOR CALAMITY will happen to Bob's fine establishment, you understand... just passing along some hypothetical information...
