Sounds to me like Rocco was ggetting cold feet about the whole wedding thing.

You were exactly right. The Tribune building was meant to replace Doo Peas with a business/journalism rabbit hole rug.
The upstairs was designed as an entertainment venue.

I love seeing the makeovers!! The Old Mill turned out lovely!! And enjoyed seeing what you did with the business building!!

Thank you for this. Love it.

A little history about the Charleston house (Josiah Smith house). This is a real house in Charleston, SC.

https://www.williampoole.com/plans/Josiah_Smith_House. I saw this house in person several years ago and took a photo which has since gone missing.

Thanks for the pictures! I was at a loss of what to do with all that empty space. Now I have some ideas.

MrsFlynn posted a link to a thread on the Porch which probably has better pictures from back when I could see better.

You'll notice a whole lot of CC. If you have any questions about any of it, let me know. I don't think I got to that house  with the CC links before everything got so messed up. It's still giving me grief.

[MrsFlynn]

If there's any houses or community lots you want to see, let us know, we'll see if we can find links to screenshots.

Lapaige has some of her builds posted in her thread.

I encountered some routing errors with the Tribune building, so I made some adjustments to make everything accessible. It's weird - some of the upper floors were having problems due to items on the floors below them "blocking" access. I've never encountered that before, but I figured it out and worked around it. Also, I got the blue building on the waterfront done. It was pretty much empty, so I guessed what would go in each space. It was tagged as a consignment store, so I included the consignment store and anything I thought wouldn't interfere with that. Later I saw Lapaige's description and it was rather different from what I put in there, I'd be curious to see the original vision. I'll put the waterfront building in a separate post.

Here's the Tribune. I made a few changes from these pictures, putting more decor in the roof-top coffee shop, and reversing the 2nd floor conference room and moving the door so it wasn't blocked by the cubicles on the floor below. 
Ground floor: the journalism floor. Cubicles for reporters, a boss' office, conference room, and breakroom.
2nd floor: bathrooms, another conference room, a small architects' firm, and one empty office.
3rd floor: wedding/private events venue
4th floor: The Rooftop Coffee Shoppe
