Joe’s Scoot-A-Boot has just opened for busisness for the first time. Looks like will be a busy place for a long time.
Looks like standing room only
Can you see the staircase?
Last but not least, a night time pic.
Hope you enjoy these, comments anyone? Mike
The neon window signs look great! How did you do that?
Mike,
That not only looks good, it’a a great idea. How many of these places have we all passed. Really liked your overflow parking by the tracks because the lots full. Nice work.
Tom
Looks like business is booming ! Great pictures Mike, thanks for sharing.
Stan.
Neat modeling and photos!
A suggestion: Turn off the date on your photos!

My only question:
“What’s on tap?”
Great work. You’ve really captured the feeling. I expect to see the Blues Brothers drive up any minute. (Cash bar only for those guys.)
Judgeing from the parking lot, that is a pretty high class crowd. Some of them could “afford this hobby”. Like the stair case and the imagination. I was also taken by how neat everyone was. There was no trash anywhere. Great bunch of people.
Woohooo a bar, Pour me a couple Jager-bombs will ya?
Lookin’ good, Mike. Keep up the great work.
Nick
scoot-a boot sounds like a biker bar , but this one looks like it’s been taken over by wannabes . you wouldnt’catch me in the place
nice modelling though [:)]
Man, that place must be very popular! The same line has been waiting from daylight to dark.
Mike -
That looks like my kind of place. It wasn’t too long ago that country was still big in Northeast Ohio and there were a bunch of us two-steppin’ fools that used to die for a place like Joe’s. Wall-to-wall cowboy hats. Any NE-Ohioans remember Strikers and the Neon Moon Saloon? Nice job Mike! [C):-)]

Looks good!
Maybe I’m a bit of a stickler for making things seem at least plausible; but the top of the stairs is way too close to the railing of the balcony for any one to walk. If I were you, I would move the stairs towards the left of the photo (towards the front of the building) to allow room for people to walk at the top of the stairs. Perhaps lining the bottom step up with the centre column.
Other than that, you’ve got yourself one great looking structure. I would like to know how you did the neon signage.
Very nice work! I now realise that I want to have a realistic layout when older. The one I am building right now might not have a town. (It might though) Happy Modeling. Tim
chatea…Thanks all for the positive responsises. as for the landing at the top of the stairs, as it is not noticable from this angle, there it a 8’ landing at the top of the stairs. and for the neon signs in the windows, I simply went on the internet and found some pics of neon bar signs and saved them in my computer, then imported them into my Print Shop to size them to the right size and glued them over the hole I cut out in the structure. By the way the structure is made from 1/4’’ plywood so they are cheap to build. Hope this info will help. Thanks again to everyone, I appreciate the input. Mike
Ah, I can see the landing now. It does make more sense architecturally-speaking now that I can see better.
Again, great work !
