Random Buildings (Updated)

All Things Zombie: Better Dead Than Zed has a lot of great information, but one thing I found lacking was a way of randomly generating of building types. The random terrain tables certainly tell you the number of building on the table, and where they are generally located, but not WHAT they are.
   As with much of ATZ and Two Hour Wargames in general, Ed simply says "Use what you've got, its easier that way!" Quite true, but if you've got several buildings its hard to decide!
    So, I made the below tables. I broke up the grid as I'm not sure how to post tables. Still, it should be readable and feel free to steal it for your Zombie Wargames at need!

I based the tables on my opinion of frequency of buildings in North/East Texas, though it probably should have a higher frequency of churches. Depending on where you live, you might play with the bell curve to make certain types of building more frequent depending on where you are running your ATz game.
