The bid is listed as being from Bellaire, Ohio which is way down
south-east on the border with West Virginia, across the river from

Well, the Pro Football Hall of Fame is in Canton because one of the most
dominant football franchises of the early days was the Canton Bulldogs.
The baseball hall of fame has a slightly more

But it has history.
What history does Bellaire, Ohio have with Lego?

Probably the fact that the owners/curators live in the area and found a building
on the cheap there.
I would imagine there’s a slightly smaller following for Lego than there is for
football, baseball, or basketball (HoF in Springfield, MA, where hoops was
invented, incidentally) - so those rules don’t apply.
