When the "new" city building is built (over on the east side) it will be updated with all the latest sound and audio gadgets. Plus they might even install a few of those gigantic video screens like at ball games so then they can run video 24-7 all over the city. Wouldn't that be neat ? <img src="http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/smileys/smiley29.gif" height="17" width="17" border="0" alt="Wacko" /></P><DIV></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV><FONT size=2>disclaimer : Do not quote me,reply to me,send me personal email to the above posting.I am not responsible for what I write and&nbsp;my doctor's claim I'm getting better.&nbsp;</FONT>&nbsp;<img src="http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif" height="17" width="17" border="0" alt="Big%20smile" /></DIV>]]>
