Let's name these places on the boardwalk in Talos

[JasperStone]

Look at these unnamed places on the boardwalk in Talos.

Two nameless in the first, one in the second.

Can we name them.

Stay with the theme or other treasures in mythology?

 

Bubos' Bar and Grill has a ring to it 

 

Mention anything from Harry Potter and I will spray you with a garden hose.

I see where you're going with that, but I can't hear that word without thinking of the English meaning of the word "bubo," and... nope. Not something that makes me want to eat somewhere. That it's indirectly connected to rats doesn't help either -- mostly because it makes me think of Chuck E. Cheese, which might actually make it even less appetizing.

One needs to be a Captain Kraken's seafood place..

It's in the lower shot to the viewer's left.

 

EDIT:  "Acropolis" something.  The Greek retail culture in my hometown always has something named "Acropolis".

"Secondhand Fleece."

 

.. wait, probably don't want "fleece" in a store's name.

 

Circe's Cleaners (or pet store.)

Bacchus Beer and Wine?

Perhaps Tolkien then?

 

Sea-Longing:  Beach and swimwear, scuba and boat supply

If it must be Greek mythology then call it Poseidon's Adventure

 

Also, The Sea-wich: subs, sandwiches, and wraps

Maybe they can be labeled as a business that's expanded out of the Rogue Isles (this is from Port Oaks, right across from the abandoned lab).

[Oubliette_Red]

Need a Shark Shack on the boardwalk.

That's the Shady Chat 'n Rest.  They prefer to keep their visual advertising... well... live as you see above....

[Etched]

I really like Etched Tatooes. Has a nice ring to it. 

 

I mean the Tsoo and Warriors has to get their tats from somewhere.

Respect!

[High_Beam]

Clearly there is a Greek Mythology thing going there as it is all over with the Warriors.  Golden Fleece, Plato's Books, Kraken.  SO factoring out a Pandora's Box which is in Talos already and a City of Gyros, there could be some fun Greek themed silliness.  Maybe a restaurant called Oedipus Tex-Mex, Spartan Furniture (word play is fun!), Olympic Tan.  Man I could do this all day.

Wongs Scottish meat pies. 

 

Should be a good name

I think that's more fitting.

Pandora's Box Shop

Pandora's Box should have a sign ... always open 🙂 

[laudwic]

It's right on the water, Pandora's Tackle Box

[Herotu]

Why can't these be nods to the community? Name your favourite developer.. maybe not. That's a terrible idea.

 

My suggestion: 

The Olympic Buildings. The buildings should be of different heights like an Olympic podium. 

 

Aside:

It'd be nice to have some interactivity with them. I love things like that - like the secret base in .. eh... [was it Boomtown]? Very cool, no function. Ace.

Perhaps some kind of shop and in the back is a series of doors you need to complete a quest to get a badge? And you need the badge to enter and it's a 1960 super-spy base (or <insert fantasy>).

Circe's Cleaners (or pet store.)

 

 

There used to be a unisex hair salon in my hometown back in the 1970s called "The Golden Fleece".  Considering some of the hairstyles back then, I thought it appropriate.

 

The pet store for Circe.  Definitely.

 

 

I was going to suggest a store with Proteus in the name, since in classical Greek myth, Proteus was found on the sand by the shore, but since there's a notable villain by that name...

 

Maybe Procrustes' Adjustable Beds - "We've got adjustable beds for any size, or we'll make it so!"

 

Pygmalion Art Gallery (or possibly stone cutters)

What do you have near the seaside?

Where I live - Aside from endless hotels, we have lots of things you'd associate with gypsy funfairs such as Horse-and-Carts, Amusements (video games, slot machines), Funfair (with big-dipper rides, big wheel-esque affairs), Fortune Tellers/Palm Readers, Candyfloss. Additionally, food outlets serving fish and chips, ice cream and rock. 

 

The question is, would this be a tourist spot or not?
