I spent some time fiddling with placing Steinberg's along Ocean Blvd. One thing's clear: I need to outfit the store with some sort of interior given that huge expanse of glass on the facade.
Your signs represent two phases of history for this building. Will you weather it or add any type of aging effects? Or did Steinberg's keep their buildings relatively clean? Regardless, the scene already looks terrific.
Thanks! My recollection is that the store was quite clean outside and in. I may add some mild weathering - the streetcars need some too - but I'm stalling until I decide how much is enough.
I remember shopping with my parents and grandparents at Steinberg at Fairlawn Plaza in Ottawa back in the day. I don't remember much about the store but it was an iconic place to shop in the area.

ReplyDeleteIt seems they had rather innovative store designs beyond just being a big box.
