Without legal permission from Nathan's, it would be against the LL ToS to include their sign (I'm sure it's a trademarked property), but that's a good thought. I hope Coney Island is recovering well from Sandy.Ziki Questihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655751928259820128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949481753906338354.post-91923651274011070112013-10-14T05:52:17.069-04:002013-10-14T05:52:17.069-04:00As someone who was born in Brooklyn, New York, th...As someone who was born in Brooklyn, New York, the home of the real Coney Island, I immediately thought that this sim was all about how Coney Island suffered after Hurricane Sandy a year ago == which did much damage to many of the historic buildings there. The one thing that would have added a huge amount of realism (if that is what the Sim Designers were looking for) would be an iconic Nathan's Famous sign. Nathan's is a beach stand / open restaurant that has been serving billions of the world's best hot dogs (they can actually be delicious) to millions of Coney Island beachgoers since 1916. Sadly, the original Nathan's was destroyed in Sandy but is now reopen in a new form. Eddi Haskellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10365026406880360184noreply@blogger.com
