Hi i'm curious as how the naming policy works on shoppes.. do the owners of the deed get to name the shoppe, or are the names predetermined?

Oh i also noticed that Byrne island has a nice little homage to the band Talking Heads going.. "David Byrne" was one of the band's lead singers, and the market there is the "Once in a Lifetime market", and i would like to know if that will continue on with something like the "Loom for Sale" or "Take me to the Weaver" weavery, "Nothing but Fedoras" tailors, "Burning Down the Boat" shipyard, "Gangster of Rum" distillery, or the "Bed to Nowhere" inn.

Sorry if i rambled on a bit when getting to talking heads stuff, but i just love their music! :)

I missed this joke. Cleaver, I change my mind. I want Byrne. <grin>

I'd have "Wife during Wartime" Inn (because as we all know any island run by me would be very much a free-trade port), "Sax and Violins" Inn, "Stay up Late" ...well, let's just say my island would be full of inns...
