Hot Wheel Town

My grandmother built this Hot Wheel town for my brother and me when we were little. Yes, there are lots of sharp edges. All the buildings are metal. Talking to my brother, we assume we must have gotten cut once in a while, but nothing memorable. He said it was a good way to learn not to get cut.

There are several things I can point to that have led me down my aesthetic path—growing up on military installations (their lack of signage, no corporate branding and simple architecture), Wayne Thiebaud sketches, and this toy are among them.
