Scratchbuilt General Store

A few years ago Cody scratchbuilt a nice looking General Store based on a real store in, I believe, Ft Myers FL. I have searched and searched through my old MR’s and can not find it again. Does anyone recall this article and the issue it was in??

Thanks

In case anyone wants to take a look at the store, I finally found the darn article. It was actually in How to Build Realistic Layouts 4 and its called Baileys general store by Cody Grivno and is based on a real building in Sanibel Island Fla, somewhat near the Ft Myers.

I know that place! They make a great pudding!

Edit: I replied to the wrong thread and now I look silly replying to a thread from 2010

Thats okay. It was asked again in 2021!
