Real World Designs in Your TSTO Towns

I like to create workable and fun designs that would actually work in the real world.

For example in my town I have....

The answer to how the Plow King keeps in business in the summer months (look behind the Nuke Power Plant I will eventually post below)
A fully workable Prison area with secure gate system, inmate yard areas, etc... (I actually used to be a corrections office in my past professional life)
A realistic way to include dinosaurs and Egyptian pyramids (look at my Natural History Museum design I will eventually post below)
I like to re-purpose items so it makes a unique new structure or design (i.e. look at my High School Gym which is really the ice skating rink I will eventually post, or extended terminals in my airport, etc...)
I have a full Religious District that covers Christians to Jews to Pagans to Pastry Worshipers
I also like the little real world details, like one of my Krusty Burgers has a working drive through, and my Grade school has a pick up kids driving area, a track and football field for the high school, a realistic dump / recycling area, etc...
I have a fun center area that even includes a working hedge maze
A realistic Airport with extended runways, passenger drop off area, and a helipad, etc...

I will share all the examples above plus more in this thread. Please feel free to share some of your most awesome designs with real world inspiration.

How can you make dinosaurs and ancient Egypt work into your town in a real world natural way? Just create a Natural History Museum without outside displays.....

===================================================
A fully workable Prison area with secure gate system, inmate yard areas, etc...

Same here. I only got 1, and it looks pretty stupid sitting there by itself

check it out next (if visit :D ) it’s new land along the water, been trying to use one tolken per event there and now have to wait for coarses to come back to get more of those to finish
i got one initially and put it behind a mansion and liked it so much i got a few more for same idea but soon every mansion had one and that looked stupid then thought i could do a coarse. most recently added the newest crowds like they are moving to the next hole

Here you go, my sad little 1 hole golf course:

Doesnt it. Probably doesnt get a lot of action either. Who wants to play 1 hole 18 times?

@mystery2mi ....nope, but I love that idea. In my mind that is the secret part of the prison where they keep the super villains.
