Title: Bucket Island Shoppe
Post by: Tiermann on June 06, 2017, 15:57:09
When I got the Children's hospital and extra floor I did so with the intent of using the building for other uses. My first thought was as a retail store. But what did I have enough of to fill a store that size? Buckets of course, and that in turn made me think of Bucket Island and the various shops that Raven has created. So here is another thread about buckets and a shop that is very much an homage to our own dear Raven (and Mr Raven).

A few happy customers - I think ponies must require lots of buckets

That's it, just a few photos but as you can see the current Children's Hospital makes a great building for other uses. I did remove the smaller walls on the top floor, and replace the elevator with one from the Shopping Mall. Note there are convenient Bucket Lists available next to every check out counter to help with your bucket shopping needs!

 :lol:
Love it!
You beat me to the joke about bucket lists!
Great idea for a shop (it reminded me of Ned Flanders' Leftorium (http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/The_Leftorium), the sort of retail outlet you never realised you needed until one opens up...)

Appropriate that it is run by pirates because bucket shops are against the law

I've been absent for quite some time, so I've only just seen this.  I love it!

And those wooden buckets piled up like that - oh the patience and the steady hand!

Wonderful.  And the hospital does make a great shop.
