    Businesses often have signs. In a pseudomedieval setting (which this looks to be), such signs are often pictorial in nature, due to the low literacy rates. The signs can be fairly large.

    The word your looking for is Tanner's tilt. But usually tanner's are located in poorer sections of cities or slums because they can create pretty stinky areas and the aristocracy don't want that near them.

    Hehe. I love what you have so far, Crayons.

    I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet but the obvious buildings you will need (this being the prune capital and all) is toilets. Lots and lots of toilets. Large public ones, small outhouses etc.
    Royal: I'm very sorry for your loss, your mother was a terribly attractive woman.

    Some great ideas coming out here, thanks guys! I've put in the blacksmith, corral (uncensored! not for the prudish!), a jail and some prune industry sheds. Another major export of the town would also be Plum Brandy so there's a Still sort of place too.
    Toilets! Of course! I had already put one small outhouse at the back of pub on the left side of the gate but I definitely need more! Oh, speaking of the gate, I've added a tax man there, the brandy is taxable.
    I've done a bit of forward planning (just a little) and decided that there should be a Cartographer's Tower over in the posh area so I've reserved it's space there so that it doesn't block the view of other buildings.
    Any ideas for little "vignette" scenes for people to be "up to" things also welcome!
    cheers!

    Since you went there with the stables I reckon you should have a little back-alley action with a strumpet and her customer. Some passed-out drunks would be a good idea. We don't seem to be near the water? Sailors in town if so...maybe army if not. Sheriffs on horseback? Town watch shaking someone down? Nobleman and entourage pushing some serf off the walk? A procession of self-flagellating monks?

    Well, there you go...a stream of sort of wacky ideas. That's what happens when I'm up at 04:00 working (or trying to avoid work, more like.)

    Well, I wasn't going to go "there" again... I figured a randy horse wasn't too risqué but I amsensitive to the multifarious mores of the internet! I reckon I could jemmy in a bit of hanky panky somewhere. Resolution is a kinda limiting factor!

    Pickpockets would have to be rather exaggerated to be visible, but there could be a mugging in progress. Children playing some sort of ball game in the street. Buskers. Street preacher or other speaker. Maybe an artist working outdoors. Food vendor with a pushcart. Someone sneaking along the rooftops.
