PROGRESS! A few more buildings are in - my brewery (Calhoun's - when you're having more than one) and my wife's radio station in the Midland Utilities headquarters building (KPEG) along with the Midland maintenance building.

Lights need to be hooked up; some plants, ground cover, trees, people and a few other details to come. The next building to get an interior and lights etc. will be the Fireproof Storage building that ships household goods by rail and holds shipments to local companies before they pick them up.

Once some roads and crossings are put in, we'll be done and ready for operations on the Westbound side of the railroad. After that comes fine details and the future demolition and re-construction of the Eastbound side of the railroad which will commence early this summer.

Calhoun's better have a good lawyer!

My bet would be Schaefer Beer's General Counsel may want to chat with them about copyright infringement of their slogan!

Great looking building though!

Is Schaefer still in

Is Schaefer still in business? Not that I've noticed them in a store anywhere, maybe they should be glad for the free advertisement.

Lawsuit? What lawsuit? Hey, if they want to come to my basement and complain, more power to them - - LOL! and to think I used to drink that stuff. . . .  

There is also KFOG in San Francisco, but this station has such a short range and so many electronic problelms that you can't even hear it. . . . .

I try to name streets and buildings after family and friends - - and occasionally go off the grid.

A little funny idea,

Make the fireproof materials warehouse either "on fire" or a burned building. Wouldnt that be irony.
