"... This project turned my house upside down for months.

... It felt like Richard Dreyfus in Close Encounters, only instead of building Devil's Tower in my living room I was building Main Street, U.S.A.

...What can I say, I love a parade."

- Robert Olszewski (creator of the miniature Main Street U.S.A.)
