Lastly, a couple views of the city, circa May, 2012.
Still lots of work to do here, but there has been one noticeable change; the far building (partially obscured in both of these shots), which is the C+D Headquarters, located right in the midst of Horse Shoe Corner. The old building was a pair of towers, united at the ground by a reception floor. It was patterned after the ARCO Towers in central Los Angeles, a building wherein I once worked on a video.
Made from a 1977 Kenner G+P set, the narrow towers proved to be a bit delicate. Added to that, people often mistook the city as a lame depiction of lower Manhattan.
So, the C+D Towers were demolished. The same set was used to make the new building, a non-symmetrical high-rise of the same height as the towers, but stronger. Dunno if it evokes any real building or not.
Not a big change in theory, yet it's amazing how the city's ambiance has been altered significantly.
And that's it for Fullerton Railroad Days 2012.
