Nice! Any more?

I don't think these have any ARG relevance, but are a couple of set pieces I found interesting. The first is a book rack - zoom in to check them out. I listed a few of the titles below the picture. Below that is another picture of a box that is in one of the store fronts.

Some of the books:

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS – Steven Spielberg

MAD ABOUT YOU (With a picture of Mad Magazine's Alfred E.Neuman)

STAR WARS – George Lucas

KEY OUT OF TIME – Andre Norton
(review) Again, Andre Norton, one of the greats among writers of teen -age science fiction has employed his boundless imagination to create a story about two Time Agents who are catapulted back 10,000 years in time, on the deserted planet, Hawaika. The eerie adventures of Ross Murdock among three unique prehistoric races end in a horrifying, but fascinating other world battle. The appearance of the Baldies, hairless creatures who claim power by reading men's minds, constitutes an unusual threat to the agents. Owing to the author's exceptional mastery of detail, and astute control of plot, Key Out of Time stands as a novel which should more than satisfy young science fiction fanciers and fanatics. (Kirkus Reviews)

COCKPIT – Jerzy Kosinski
An ex-superspy who thrives on psychological pressure penetrates the lives of others, leading his momentary partners in a ruthless dance of complex intrigue.
THE TIN MEN – Michael Frayn
The Tin Men employs a futuristic setting to portray a society that is almost completely computerized and automated—thus erasing virtually all human traits.

AGAINST THE FALL OF NIGHT – Arthur C. Clarke
(Product Description) Alvin, the only child for many centuries born in what is believed to be the only city left on Earth, leads a renaissance. Man is reclaiming the Earth, but evil has also returned.

INFERNO – Larry Niven/ Jerry Pournelle
Inferno is based upon the hell described in Dante's Inferno. However, it adds a modern twist to the story. The story is told in the first person by Allen Carpentier, an agnostic science fiction writer who died in a failed attempt to entertain his fans at a Science fiction convention party.

HANS SOLO'S REVENGE – Brian Daley

ERASE MY NAME – Jackson Donahue

CHEERLEADING AND BATON TWIRLING – Weekly Reader Books

The following is in one of the store fronts.

I'll bet Spielberg encountered this artwork of Weirtons steel factory & became smitten.

I also heard from a local biz owner that there will be a car explosion/rolling car on the streets of these businesses. Don't know if true...
