I guess it's a way to build excitement about what's coming (didn't they have a couple windows in the DCA construction wall?), but it could also take away from the 'magic' a little.

    And for being flipped, it looks like it's a scan of a slide, so they may have just scanned the wrong side of it, making it come out backwards.

    I reversed the image in Fireworks, and lo and behold, everything is in the correct location.

    It is kinda funky that there is no construction wall to speak of.

    Oh the good ole days.


    But on the plus side I think the settler's happy now that his home isn't on fire.
