A modelling idea for anyone, or product idea for SMS. This is a streetview image, from my home town, Cardenden. What you see isthe shopping area, on Cardenden road, serving the new Carden area of the town. In between the two sets of shops, is the lane, to the rear access for the units. The small units, on the left, have always been like that, except the eat and go, which was once two units. The large Premier supermarket was, until 1990, a Co-op supermarket. Originally opened by the Lochgelly Co-operative society, it later came under the central Fife co-op, by when, the Lochgelly co-op lettering was removed, and large Co-op signs were installed. Further co-op society mergers saw it come under Fife and Forth, then Scottish co-op, until it closed in 1990. It reopened as Cardenden community store in 1991, only for the community led venture to go bust two years later. You'll notice that there's steps and ramps to the shops. Of course, on your scene, these could be on level ground. And, look at the flats opposite the shops, another modelling idea, or product idea? https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@56.1424759,-3.2526212,3a,75y,270h,90t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s5nOxv7ODe1iFP_unqBFuRQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D0%26panoid%3D5nOxv7ODe1iFP_unqBFuRQ%26yaw%3D270!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MDkyNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D
