Had this grand notion to catalog all the buildings getting they erect on (I can't help but to dip into the "get my/they ____ on" pool; it's the gift that keeps on giving, but I'll try to lay off it for while...no promises), but I basically got lazy so I'll post these pics for now.

It's going to be just like in the video below, except for the last part. More on the celebration end of the spectrum, less on the sinister alien invasion end of the spectrum. Or maybe the "aliens" are just late-coming celebrators wearing alien costumes.
Word to Ms. Mack-Lowe for showing this to me.
