" We were almost a ghost town, then someone got the idea of acting the part...
we restored everything to the 1800's.
Everyone dresses for the era, except for on Mondays.
We even have all automobiles park on the edge of town...
except for on Mondays."
" We got into the movie business.
We encourage the building of permanent sets on the edge of town.
Aspiring actors take over later to help attract tourism.
We usually leave the sets up for a year or two.
Most of the sets get shipped to Asia after that, for the same idea.
We also have 3D reality rooms showing walks & drives from around the world."
"We had no idea how great our water tasted, compared to other places."
"We specialize in walking and cycling in our downtown core."
"We're driven by nature... humans take a back seat in our village."
"We're the auto parts capital of our region.
We make them,
sell them,
install them,
and recycle them. "
"We got into the nostalgia kick.
We go from Generation to Generation each week.
Many of the restaurants can easily switch from one era to the next.
Others specialize in one or two decades.
We close on Mondays as well, to 'work our magic'. "
"We turned the downtown into a park.
Lots of trees, plants, paths and benches
People were shopping at the malls anyways; so let them."
"We support the earlier generations. Some call us a senior village."
"We left."
