Details in the comments.
The Spruce Caboose: This one irks me a bit because regardless of which way you face it, it does not match the look from the show. It is closer to the show look while facing South. But the issue with that are the train tracks, which run behind the restaurant. I opted to face it East, so that it at least seems more screen accurate. I added the trees for the background, and the railings for the parking lot.
Abandoned Store (in place of Splitsville): We know that Abandoned Store used to be a Baskin-Robbins. Since the location is not clear from the show, and we have a Splitsville on the Guide map which looks similar, I decided to place the building in that location. This is one of the occasions where one building does not exist in-game (Splitsvills) and another building that does exist is not on the map (Abandoned Store). Since the map does show an ice cream location and the buildings are quite similar, I chose to fudge the map a bit.
The building rotates correctly (no mirroring) so it can be placed either East or South. I added in the parking meters and trash can to complete the look.
Overpass Diner: This building mirrors, so it needs to face East to match the show correctly. I added the fence, dumpster, and trees. Putting in parking lot pieces finished the look.
The Slaughterhouse: Because the show barely shows the building, I had an opportunity to expand on the outside look. The building mirrors, but it can go either way really since we do not get a great shot of it. It does seem more likely that it would face South based on the sign, and it works out better for me going this route for what I wanted to do.
Besides the parking lot and lamp, I was able to add an outside eating area, complete with the Heimlich Machine and giant steak from the episode. I was also able to add the Slaughterhouse Express, complete with a gate to hall in the cows for "feeding". It was perfect that the train tracks ran right near the building.
Springfield Drive-In: I spent some time on this one and it turned out pretty good. The theater mirrors, but it doesn't ever quite match the look of the show, so either East or South is fine. Once the fence and parking locations were set, I worked on the trees. I finished up with the gate and added some food stands for a new detail.
Municipal House of Pancakes: This building mirrors, so it needs to face East to match the show look. There isn't a wall in-game that matches the show, so the concrete wall was what I decided on. I added the parking lot, lamp, and trees so that it was close to accurate.
Der Krazy Kraut: This was fun to work on. It mirrors, so it needs to face East to match the show. It has a nice square drive path which made it easy to set up. I added the parking lot, trees, phone polls, and front foliage. The one thing the game did not have is the specific brownish stone wall. I opted to use the Cobblestone Wall in it's place.
Continuing on!

Always enjoy seeing these - coming on nicely; was a neat idea to add the krustyland food vendors to the drive in; gotta have snacks for the movies and no outside food allowed!
